Argentina confident Falklands dialogue is advancing gently
Argentine foreign minister Jorge Faurie said dialogue on the Falkland/Malvinas Islands with the United Kingdom is “advancing” and both countries are determined to “enrich the relation”, but it is a path which is possible as long as the sovereignty of the Islands is not discussed. Read full article

From my point of view I expect the future of the three Americas will be much better than the European Community, without passports, a single sovereignty and a single currency, will definitely be called United States of Americas, so living in New York, Jamaica or Bolivia will be the the same thing as living in Port Stanley, and beyond, there will still be a single world order without frontiers, no wars and poverty all over the world, remember what I write !!!

Jul 26th, 2017 - 12:05 pm - Link - Report abuse -7What pray is Argentina negotiating?? Sharing the fish in the Strait? The only way Argentina can get what they want is very simply to export 50,000 more sheep, along with 3000 Argentinian shepherds, to Stanley. By the time they hold a new vote on sovereignty, around the time the sheep nibble all remaining shrubbery in the Falklands to nothing, problema Malvinas resuelto. No hasta.

Perhaps you would like to name 'just one legal aspect' that Argentina has that supports its sovereignty claim?

Jul 26th, 2017 - 04:16 pm - Link - Report abuse +5There is no legal basis at all! The Argentine claim consists of fairy stories, lies, myths and mistaken interpretations of historial events - in other words, there are no tangible facts at all.
Maybe dreams?
He has a job to do and has to say something about the Falklands, or there's nothing else to talk about...

Jul 30th, 2017 - 11:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Exporting 50,000 sheep to Stanley is a tad stupid as I doubt there is enough pastureland for them in Stanley, it is an expanding town.
How could 3000 Argentine shepherds live in Stanley? In foxholes around the town? That didn't work out too well in 1982, probably why so many surrendered!
If the islanders held a new vote on sovereignty, they would hold it in the middle of a winter's day when all the Argentine shepherds would too frozen in their foxholes to emerge to vote, or it would be held in the middle of summer in the afternoon when all the Argentine shepherds would be asleep during their siestas.
Either way, 3,000 or 30.000 Argentine shepherds, it would make no difference to the vote as they would not turn up.
A bit of irony in all that silliness: it was sheep from the Falklands that got that business started in southern Argentina. In fact it was the Falklanders and other Brits who taught the argies how to make a profitable go of raising sheep in the patagonia. For all practical purposes, Santa Cruz province was a colony of the Falklands in those days. Even the wire for fences in Sta Cruz estancias came from the Falklands in those days.
Jul 31st, 2017 - 01:04 am - Link - Report abuse +1I count among my good and sensible friends here the descendants of Herbert Felton, a Falklander recognised for his contributions in establishing successful sheep farming in argie patagonia.
Argentine patagonia must be returned to the Falklanders.
England will return the Malvinas within 25 years.

Jul 31st, 2017 - 06:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina's endless and pointless whimpering over events two centuries ago reminds us of their similar bickering over what might have been the better way to wipe up 22cc of spilt milk at the Gonzalez dairy in Salta in 1949.
