    The Falkland Islands are not a colonial situation at all. It would be Argentina, if it tried to take the islands against the wishes of the people of the Falklands, who would be introducing a colonial situation. Argentina would not go to the ICJ over this as they know that they would lose. So to mention legal issues is an act of hipocrasy on the part of Argentinas president. The islands belong to the islanders and are not the UK's to give away nor Argentina's to take.

    Kirshener the plastic president wrote ““I’m convinced we are facing a second independence” and this means that the Malvinas islands will eventually return to their legitimate origin, Argentina supported by law, history, geography and the inalienable rights of the Argentine people.”

    Oh the irony!!!! When will Argentina eventually return to their legitimate origin - the indigenous peoples that were killed as their land was stolen!!! Damn hipocrasy on the part of a silly twit in charge of Argentina who knows nothing of the history of South America - or choses to forget it when it becomes inconvenient.

    For someone who knows what Argentina was like under a military dictatorship CFK has a strange way of indicating her support for democratic principles. She appears to forget the fact that the Islanders are free to make their own democratic choices and she sunggles up to another dictator in military uniform.

    What has she acomplished? The drilling continues and ships come and go unimpeded.

    You make an interesting point there Beef. She sides with a lunatic dictator but that is but another indication as to just how feeble she knows Argentina's claim to the Falklands actually is. Perhaps she learnt a lot from the dictators of Argentina and thinks that she can apply what she learnt to the people of the Falklands. She will lose and will always lose. The Falkland Islands are not the UK's to give away nor Argentina's to take - they belong to the islanders themselves. Only a dictator would think otherwise.

    gdr. Is there any valid reason why you are copying your posts from another mercopress story?

    You have correctly identifed that there exists a Welsh language (congratulations that was really hard wans't it). Is there an Argentinian language? Nope you rely on your Spanish masters for that one. Yes Spain, the same country you and Jihad Jorge think are primative for having a monarchy? They are primitive enough to give you your medium of communication as well as much much more.

    The UK never stole your islands in 1833. Thing is - even if it were true, which it isn't, what difference would it make? After all the USA took land after 1833, Argentina stole land after 1833, France did, etc etc etc. It happened all the time back then. Will the USA give back land to Mexico? Will Argentina give back the land it took? Argentina is itself a country that was formed from land stolen from the indigenous people. If what Argentina says about 1833 were true, which history shows that it isn't, then what you are saying is that you want back land that you stole in the first place. But then this is all hypothetical as the Falklands were not Argentine in 1833 anyway.

    The Falkland Islands have never been a part of Argentina ... historically, legally or indeed, in any other way. They are never likely to be as the UN would support independence, not a handover.

    THis is just the usual crap from an Argentine Government in trouble politically.

    Just for nitrojuan ....

    THE HAGUE, 20 April 2010. The International Court of Justice (ICJ), principal judicial organ of the United Nations, today delivered its Judgment in the case concerning Pulp Mills on the River Uruguay (Argentina v. Uruguay).
    In its Judgment, which is final, without appeal and binding on the Parties, the Court,
    (1) finds, by thirteen votes to one, that the Eastern Republic of Uruguay has breached its procedural obligations under Articles 7 to 12 of the 1975 Statute of the River Uruguay and that the declaration by the Court of this breach constitutes appropriate satisfaction;
    (2) finds, by eleven votes to three, that the Eastern Republic of Uruguay has not breached its substantive obligations under Articles 35, 36 and 41 of the 1975 Statute of the River Uruguay;
    (3) rejects, unanimously, all other submissions by the Parties.

    SO - a procedural fault but the mill isn't polluting as per the spurious claim by Argentina, and the mill can stay where it is an carry on operating. Some kind of win :-)

    Argentina is still a country with vast colonial ambitions as its attitude towards the Falkland Islands confirms. The only thing that Argentina has learnt from its genocidal colonial past is how to carry it on into the 21st Century. Argentina wants to end colonialism - fine. A good start would be for Argentina to drop its colonial claim to the Falklands. A claim that is spurious, not based upon the facts or history. I repeat - if Argentina is really being truthful about wanting to end colonialism let it put its money where its mouth is and stop trying to impose colonialism on the Falklands. QED

    One can only assume the economic situation is getting worse. It appears that you can easily gauge the true state of it by extrapolating from the number of words she wastes on the Falklands issue.

    It's also ironic that she sucks up to the Venezuelan dictator on the day that Argentina imprisoned one of it's own for 25 years.

    As for your islands, your historic duration (5 years) is so embarrasing you have to borrow periods of time from Spain! And then base it on inheritance (BTW i thought inheritance was when it was willingly left in the will, not taken when boot out your mother before her last breath?)

    Argentina is right on its demand to the ICJ, it recognized Uruguay has violated some of the articles of Uruguay River Treaty!!!!, but the pulp stays!!!!
    That court is clearly biased in favour of economic interests.

    It's useless to go to ICJ regarding Malvinas issue. They will say Argentina is right beacause UK has violated argentine sovereignty, but what is done is done, so UK is not obligated to negotiate.

    Hoytred. the only reason Falklands are still an overseas territory is because they require British troops to defend themselves in case Argentina attacks.

    It's funny, they claim to want to put an end to colony's. Yet they seek to make Falklands one, and in doing so stop the Falklands from becoming truly independent.

    Then again, i don't think the Falklands islanders have much of a call for being independent, they seem content being an overseas territory. Argentina refuses to see this.

    Argentina doesn't go to the ICJ because shes scared, scared that the ICJ will rule against her The historical foundations are shakey needless to say, they had to invent a whole new principle to compensate for Argentina embarrasing duration of ownership of the territory.

    30 horacioyanes - “Esta porción de Británicos que viven en las Islas Malvinas. Debería entender que la independencia no la van a tener nunca mientras exista un conflicto de Soberanía.
    Lo mejor que pueden hacer es pasar a ser una nueva Provincia de Argentina, disfrutar de buenas carnes, vinos y tantas otras cosas.
    Mientras tanto estarán encima de una Bomba de tiempo.”

    Why is the “best we can do” is have the Falklands become another province of Argentina?

    The best we can do is keep things exactly as they are with the Falklands under British sovereignty as the islanders wish.

    If Argentina want to stamp their feet, shake their fist, and rattle their sabres they can do so, and in the mean time the islanders will continue their very Birtish way of life on a very British island in the South Atlantic.

En aras de esta lista, sin embargo, el término se define como cualquier persona que toma el poder la fuerza de un gobernante establecido, sin consideración a que la legitimidad del gobernante.

    “Usurper usurper The word is a derogatory term, and as such is not easily definable, as the person who took power usually try to legitimize their position, while denigrating that of his predecessor. For the sake of this list, however, the term is defined as any person who takes over the power of a ruler in place, without regard to the legitimacy of the ruler.

    Firstly - as you have been asked before and as Mercopress as also - can you post in English please.

    Secondly - the FACTS are that it was Argentina that attempted to usurp the islands from the UK. Sorry to burst your bubble but what you have been taught is WRONG. And history shows that to be the case. In 1833 Britain conducted a police action to take back that which Argentina, well the United Provinces, tried to steal from her. And even if the story was as you have implied, which it isn't, it still wouldn't matter as Argentina, along with other countries at that time, also took land from others. But it didn't happen as Argentina tries to claim - even in the face of all the evidence. All we ever get is a repeat of the same lies. Nothing else. And we also seem to have evidence of a very selective memory from Argentina. Remember - that which YOU accuse us of doing you did yourself to create Argentina. So STOP trying to claim the moral high ground. It doesn't wash.

    Now you can laugh as much as you want BUT it is the UN that has given the right of self determination to the people of the Falklands. You do support the UN don't you?

    Jeez - Why is Jihad Jorge posting links to what he thinks will be the cause of Argentina stealing the Falklands by default through the UK's financial concerns at the moment? If, as he erroneously thinks, the UK cannot hold onto the Falklands because of debt - then it follows, using the same twisted 'logic' that he uses, given Argentina's woeful financial situation and its past defaults and current deep problems, she will never be able to afford the Falklands and wouldn't be able to steal them.

    If the UK is experiencing a few problems now it is nothing compared to what Argentina is facing and has experienced over the years. Argentina is a financial basket case!!!

    Roberts, www.Mapuche-nation.org is a farce, surely a group formed by some mapuche head and behind English with political interests.
    In Patagonia, Argentina have nothing to claim the Mapuche. The Mapuche were responsible for the extermination of the tehuelches, which were authentic Aboriginal people of Northern Patagonia Argentina 1830-1880.

    There is a pattern to them. They cannot take anyone showing that there is another side to the story. But this is a symptom of their ailment - you see they have been so indoctrinated that they become fearful if anything challenges that which they have been brainwashed into believing. Rather than look at the counter argument they choose to ignore/dismiss/deny it. Their world would fall apart if they actually opened themselves up to an alternative viewpoint. I pity them...

    You make me laugh Horacio. Many times in this forum have we seen Argentines trying to prove what bloodthirsty imperialists the British are by pointing to the Australian Aboriginals example.

    Amusingly, this Mapuche Nation organisation, which you think is a farce, joins with Australian Aboriginals amongst others to form the UNPO. http://www.unpo.org/ How amusingly ironic...

    Horacio, you should think a bit before putting your fingers to the keyboard, because when you come out with stuff like you did above in comment #79, you just make yourself look stupid and ignorant and you show a breathtaking ignorance of your own country's history.

    Well Horacio, then perhaps you could stop making assertions you can't back up. For example that the Mapuche Nation organisation is a farce headed by a Mapuche and backed by the British. You have absolutely no evidence to back that up, in fact there is a mountain of evidence to the contrary. When someone writes stuff like that, they do nothing but invite ridicule, which is exactly what you got!

    Once again, I encourage you to think before you type, because you only end up insulting your own intelligence if you write comments like #79, and not only that, you insult thousands and thousands of indigenous people who died in Argentine massacres and continue to suffer today...

    The interesting thing on www.mapuche-nation.org is that it is full of critism against Chile, not Argentina.

    http://www.mapuche-nation.org/espanol/main/especial/nacion_m/situacion.htm

    Also,

    ..........“On the 11th of May 1996 a group of Mapuches and Europeans ”concerned???” with the fate of the indigenous peoples and nations of the Americas, and in particular with the Mapuche people of Chile and Argentina , launched the Mapuche International Link (MIL) in BRISTOL, UK.”............

    - mmmmmm...........I don't know if Horacio is right, but I wouldn't say he is wrong, at least one could be suspicious.

    The site didn't mention the genocide against Tehuelches made by Mapuches when they came to this side of the mountain range. Everyone knows they came from Chile killing the indigenous on this side.
    Anyway that is not justification to do what Roca did. The truth be told!

    ”Will UK have for ever veto power??? - NO (LOL)”
    Erm, yes. As part of the security council the United kingdom will always have Veto powers. New members of the security council will not receive a veto. It is something reserved for the current and founding members of the UN, a price paid in blood i believe(ww2).

    ”Will UK get out of its debt and deficit crisis? - NO (LMFAO)”

    The UK has been in debt before, i don't even think this is our highest debt we've ever obtained. If thats your plan on getting back the islands it's flawed.

    You will not have veto power for ever when you and USA are loosing power on international issues. Besides other veto power countries like Russia, France and China agree to the incorporation of Brazil among others to the security council as a permanent member and remove the veto power. You are playing with fire, If UN doesn't change that, it will lose power and credibility.

    Everyone thought G-8 was going to be always the club which manage world's economy, now is dead!!!! China, Brazil and India are growing and will be more powerful than you. That's why today's most important meeting is G-20, not G-8 anymore.

    Oh dear Jihad Jorge Rios squawking again!

    The whole reason the security council was created was so as to prevent idiot countries like Argentina, Venezuela, Iran and Iraq from putting their opinion's into actions and doing something daft and we shall keep it that way, some countries sadly have not reached a level of development and maturity which enables them to function in a manner that would be beneficial to the world.

    I suppose they are comparable these countries, to 16 year olds wanting the vote have all the normal rights and respect as others, however still not mature enough to think in a rational manner, Argentina is certainly one of these countries, screeches and squawks and knocks it's food bowl over when looking at the falklands, is this the action of a mature country worthy of such power, I think not.....cheer up old Chap Jorge, I am sure when you lose the 2nd and 3rd Falklands war you might get the point.

    As for us going the way of Yugoslavia, I didn't know the UK was an artificially created slavic country by the great powers after world war 1 as a buffer to Turkish and Austrian hegemony that already had a long history of inter ethnic violence?

    As for Argentina, perhaps you might go the way of the US in the 1860's? The central govt becomes too autocratic and botches up the job so much financially that the economic weaker and less populated provinces see seccession as the only means to ensure their future?

    It's happening Jorge like with everywhere Patatgonia and Tierra del Fuego have been maligned and ignored by BA for too long, think about Jorge you lot don't matter to BA, your support is taken for granted and you are nothing but a large milking cow for Buenos Aires.

    Wrong. Very wrong. I don't see how the USA is loosing power currently they spend almost as much on defense as the rest of the world does(47% i believe).

    And no, France china and Russia are NOT in any way considering the removal of the veto power. All the country's on the security council do want to enlarge it. But all five country's would make it very to remove the veto. New members of the security council will not likely get a veto.
