    What did CFK expect? She could have at least had the guts to pick up the phone.

    CFK should start fruitful cooperation with the Falklands islands if she wants to get anywhere!

    I see Cameron ha clarified the position of what the Falklands are much better than previous governments identifying the FIG and the Falklands as a separate body to that of the UK govt who had no part in approving this drilling.

    Clever Cameron, this puts CFK in an awkward position as she pathetically tries to ignore the Falklands as a separate entity....

    Well, well, well Cristina (and jorge!) no joy with another British Government. And now you know that the UK supports the legal entities of the Falkland Islands and the Falkland Islands Government.
    “Fruitful co-operation” with Argentina. That's Argie-speak for “Give us what we want or we'll throw a tantrum.”
    So, no negotiations and no Falkland Islands. Best thing for Argentina is to get rid of “Kickback” Kirchner and his other half and then offer the Falkland Islands Government any Argentine land and facilities required for a small share of the possible wealth.
    Of course, this might require a greater British military presence just to ensure, in view of past behaviour, Argentine compliance with any agreements. But the costs of that can come out of Argentina's share.
    Distinct that, almost, everyone benefits. The Falkland Islanders get a bonanza and say goodbye to a bellicose neighbour, Argentina gets some money, gets rid of the Kirchners and may be welcomed back into the intelligent international community, after amending its constitution, and Britain gets to rebuild its armed forces after 13 years of Labour mismanagement.
    How long will it take to re-educate the Argentine people too accept THE TRUTH? No real information. But it might be possible by the time the oil runs out.

    Dear friend you will not stop Argentina by rearming your Pomy’s armed force in fact will be soon news from Argentina’s armed force with Russian weapons, fighters and some rockets for fireworks from here to UK.

    @ivo. Please get together with your compatriots. I particularly jorge! who intends to buy or build who knows how many nuclear missiles and site them along your coast. No-one to fire them at, of course. Do you KNOW how long it takes a British submarine to surface and fire a salvo of Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles? Or how far away a British SSBN can be and submarine-launch a missile?
    Buenos Aires is about half the size of Baghdad. Just how long do you think it would take for you to be creamed?

    And after all our score with Britain is Argentina=2 UK= 1 not too bad for dummies.

    I don’t really know why you are so confident in your army. You can’t win a war in Afghanistan where people use rocks and home made bombs against yours so trained and experience army.

    I would like to see that really. Can I ask how you will do that? You really scared me mate.

    BTW your English sucks mate, do you need some Quids to get a course with Mr. Beef?

    Mr. Beef how much for an English course to Mr. Thorson? Haha

    @agent0060
    Buenos Aires is far bigger than London and the whole estate of Buenos Aires has the size of UK or Italy.

    And Argentina size is close the size of Western Europe.

    So with your Tomahawk we will make a big Asado (barbecue) while watching how your little Island in the north start to sink by an intercontinental ballistic missile made in Argentina mate.

    I will be sorry for the Irish but we can import them here. Right?

    Nico: Again with the you tube posts? Do you actually read anything or you only watch videos? I don't think Argentina could attack the Falklands with 39 out of date ships and no air craft carrier much less defend your own territory. The Ks have cut the Military budget so much that the 70s era equipment is falling apart and Air force doesn't have enough money to buy jet fuel. You can't do much if you can't train. All the soldiers do now is sit around drinking Mate and “taking care of” each other. Try not to embarrass yourself any further.

    They left 9,4 trillions dollars of foreign debt.
    How long it will take to uk to pay back that?
    They started to cut 6 billion.
    They should cut at least 70 billion.

    estevaz grow up little child, you may have a flag it's nothing to boast about the amount of officers messes in the UK I see dotted with pieces of Argentine equipment is quite astounding, you ever been to Duxford in Kent? I suggest you go we have all your Pucara's there.

    Nicotine you do realise that Youtube is astounding for complete shit and has no academic filters by which you can effectively criticize any piece of footage, granted it is excellent for finding funny videos and repeats of genuine documentaries, but not much else, I would implore you in the future to come up with something with more substance other than a search query on Youtube. And I seem to remember in another of your arguements you used a Fox news report to discredit the opposition oops! you are an intelligent person, please do not insult it by using Youtube...

    And believe you me Nicotine Russian export equipment is shite, it's not really funny its that bad, if you are buying russian equipment in South America you are being duped, big time my friend. It's good for Africans as it can be maintained by peasents but i thought Argentina's new military doctrine was to create a professional defence force not a human wave consisting of idiots with as many weapons as possible......

    News from motherland!

    “It was written with humour – but the message to the new Tory-led government was painfully clear.

    Former Treasury minister Liam Byrne spelled out the dire state of the nation’s finances in a brief note he left for his successor.

    He scribbled: “Dear Chief ­Secretary, I’m afraid to tell you there’s no money left.”

    He added: “Kind regards, and good luck!””

    Ha, ha, ha and they want to rebuild what? You will not be able to buy an air gun in the next few years.

    Chistina stop the deal on arms with the Russian, we will be able to retake the Islands back from the Brits by offering hot soup and bread. May be we will be generous and we will give them some meat with the soup.

    Just to return briefly to the subject of city size:
    Buenos Aires: 203 sq kms. Population - 3,050,728
    London: 1,706.8 sq kms. Population - 7,556,900

    Convenient for you, of course, to try to refer to the Provincia de Buenos Aires but, since the Provincia has its own capital, you could have tried exhibiting the intelligence to compare a city with a city.

    @agent0060,
    You are really amazing.
    The City of London has 2.90 km2 or 1.12 sq miles mate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London
    But London (what is another thing) is the City of London plus Great London or Greater London.Greater London is the conurbation around the city formed by 32 boroughs and has the size you have mentioned 659 sq miles and a population of 7,5 millions.

    Buenos Aires:
    The city of Buenos Aires Federal District has 203 km2 (78.5 sq miles) as you can see is 70 times bigger than the city of London.
    Just part of the City http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London

    But Buenos Aires, like London, has the Great Buenos Aires (the conurbation around the City) formed by 24 boroughs.
    The blue area surrendering the Yellow area in the map (Named Ciudad de Buenos Aires)
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London

    This conformed the mega city known as Gran Buenos Aires a urban conglomerate of 3.833 km² (more than 2 times of the whole London area
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London

    All this area has a population of 13 million people.

    Then you have the province district what is a much large territory also called Buenos Aires formed by several largest cities like Mar del Plata, La Plata, etc. with a territory of 307.571 km² far largest than your tiny UK (243,610 km2)

    25 NicoDin. I have no care for the my city if larger than yours arguements i couldn't care less either way. But you are wrong in one sense.

    The center of London is called city of London, because in the middle ages that was the size of london, However now days it's just the center of the city and the business center. not many people even live in the “city of london”

    The capital city of England, London includes 32 boroughs. Another misconception would be the City of Westminster. They're just boroughs, which were once city's.

    The UK have a lot of very old strange non official things about out nation, for instance london is not “officially” our capital city. Our constitution is unwritten. Things just “are” how they are.

    The London area(What people consider central London.) is 1,579 square kilometres and had 7,172,036 people nine years ago, the larger London area is 8,382 square kilometers and a population of between 12 and 14 million people.

    Im sure why that matters anyway, just pointing it out.

    London has 2 autonomous Regional authority Government.

    Great London under the “Greater London Authority” headed by “Boris Johnson” the blond funny guy.
    And the City of London under the municipal governing body headed by Nick Anstee. And has an established population of around 8000 inhabitant. Has its own police and everything independent like an estate.

    Your London (what is a region) would be like Buenos Aires region (province) which has a population of more than 15 millions inhabitants.

    The tube in London is divided in zones 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and range from west Dryton to Purfleet.

    Did I pass the test? I was living in London fore a while have you ever been in Buenos Aires?

    So I’m not like you too, I mean engaged in this silly my city or region of great or my financial district, etc is bigger or much better or largest than yours.

    I like just you’ve said “pointing it out”.

    And by the way this silly discussion started because Mr. agent0060 wanted to send to us first 1 BGM-109 Tomahawk to sink Argentina, then a Trident and later a whole bunch of nuclear missiles with 52 kilotons of power. So I was giving him some information to make his trigonometric calculations to point the toys to the right direction. So we can make a big barbecue while we return his touching deference.

    I've lived in London for most of my life and have never even heard of Nick Anstee. Very few could actually name the Lord Mayor of London so it's rather odd that a resident of BA would know him by name - especially as he's only been in the role for less than a year.

    NicoDin, i don't get your comparison. You are comparing a borough in the center of london with 8000 people living there, to a city of 15 million inhabitants.

    The logical comparable would be the city to city. as both city are pretty similar in size and population.

    Also, where did i even mention Buenos Aires? i didn't. i don't claim to know about. You however have never lived in london, i copy pasted

    “City of London under the municipal governing body headed by Nick Anstee. And has an established population of around 8000 inhabitant”

    into google. and low and behold, it's almost a direct quote from Wikipedia.

    You don't know anything about london. i don't know anything about your city, the difference is that i dont CLAIM to know something i don't.

    No mate City of London is comparable with city of Buenos Aires City=City
    London is a region made by the City of London plus the Greater London plus the rest = Region

    You are confuse with capitals the capital of UK and The capital of Argentina.

    Buenos Aires is a large metropolitan area but divided by administrative and political divisions. Is all the same mass of building houses, highways, roads, etc.
    The head of the city of Buenos Aires is Mauricio Macri (like a Mayor) and the Governor of the Estate (or province or region) of Buenos Aires is Daniel Scioli

    So a region in Britain or a Government Office Regions (9 in England if I’m not mistaken) is like our province organization or estates.

    And now I will google to show you guys that I am right and you don’t know were you live. And you want to talk about Malvinas Sovereignty?

    City of London
    Comparable with City of Buenos Aires city=city Anstee Macri
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London

    Greater London http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London Johnson=> Scioli
    comparable with greater Buenos Aires or Metropolitan Area or GBA or Cono Urbano Bonaerense.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London

    London Region = Province of Buenos Aires a territory far larger than the whole UK.

    So in any mean by political division, metropolitan area or region Buenos Aires is far larger than any organization in UK.

    TOP 20 metropolitan Areas in the world by population

    Buenos Aires 13,170,000 density 1,210 km2.
    London 12,875,000 density 1,130 km2.

    I don’t know nothing about London Um...

    Brixton Academy in front there is the police station some blocks to the south there tube station to the left there was a records shop called Red records. In the same street Brixton Road there is a branch of Abby national an the Lambeth borough office is in the corner in front use to be a cinema and library and before the street Sudbourne road is a club called The Fridge.

    Your comparable is still wrong. In English law any area with a cathedral is defined as a city, st john's is a small area with less than a thousand people living in the area, yet is still defined as a city.

    Like I've said, England is a very old country with very old laws, hell we even still have hanging as a response for treason, does it mean it will never happen? no it wouldn't. Does it mean that the center of London and the city of Westminster are separate city's inside of London? no it doesn't.

    A city, is a large metropolitan area, of wich london is very simular to your capital in size and population.

    Another note, Lord mayor of the city of London is a ceremonial title, he does not run the borough. The lord mayor spends his time promoting business.

    Boris johnson run's london, the metropolitan area and everything inside of that.

    But i don't see WHY it matters, Why does it matter who's city is slightly larger or smaller?

    “But i don't see WHY it matters, Why does it matter who's city is slightly larger or smaller?”
    Yes matter not for the size else because as ever you have your information wrong, mate.

    If you don’t understand your political organization of you little own country. How can you understand the Malvinas issue?

    My comparable is absolute right mate.

    “A city, is a large metropolitan area,” yes
    “..london is very simular to your capital in size and population.” No

    Buenos Aires has more than 13 millions people in it. Buenos Aires City “like your London City division of 1 mile sq“ plus the whole conglomerate extended to 30 km in some parts

    You are hard as rock to understand eh!
    The division is fictional for administrative and political issues not physical. The limit is General Paz Avenue http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avenida_General_Paz
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avenida_General_Paz and a little river like your Thames River.

    Metropolitan area, no spaces, no countryside, mountain or anything just continued urbanization but far, far, far and more far largest and taller in average than London.

    So why I cannot split the city of London from Greater London and you yes can split the city of Buenos Aires from its natural metropolis called Buenos Aires eh!?

    So lets get right here if you are talking about city of London the only city with that name in UK is this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avenida_General_Paz

    If you talk about greater London also known as London metropolitan area is this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avenida_General_Paz

    And London Region is this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avenida_General_Paz

    And if you mayor of the city of London doesn’t do anything take a siesta drink beer of promotes his business has nothing to do with this. Macri also promote his business and don’t do anything at all and?

    Think about it...

    See you later

    it's is impossible to talk to someone who is clearly a complete and utter idiot.

    London is identified by the entire world(bar you) as the capital of the united kingdom, a massive city of around 14 million inhabitants, currently the financial center of the world, one of the three economic hubs in the world and also one of two alpha++ cities in the world(the other being new york city).

    You, on the other hand identify London as a city with 8000 people in the center of a region.

    You are wrong. In every sense.

    Are you hard mate? Sorry but you are like titanium.

    London, London; London is the whole thing The City is another Like City of Buenos Aires and Buenos Aires. Have you got a brain problem?

    Your govt. and only your govt. had made this split no me silly boy.

    “London is identified by the entire world(bar you) as the capital of the united kingdom”

    Yes London is the capital of UK the whole stuff but the city is not the capital is London.

    “currently the financial center of the world” the city of London is the financial centre knows as the City. And now is the City of London Corporation. Finsbury park for example is not part of the financial centre may be some rock festivals and concerts.

    And to confuse you more (because you are) the legal name of what you think is Buenos Aires is “Ciudad Autonoma de Buenos Aires” CABA 3 m people permanent residents.

    People in the capital city (CABA) are recognized as Porteños and whe you cross an Avenue General Paz as Bonaerenses (From Buenos Aires). La Plata is the head of the estate and they are Platenses

    And

    And for someone that claims to be from London in Britain financial hub they say CENTRE and not CENTER like the Americans. Or you are from London in Argentina? Yes we have a London somewhere I don’t remember were Cordoba perhaps.

    Centre from Latin centrum.

    Ok, let's put this another way, as this is like two brick walls colliding.

    The city of London, as you think is our capital, within a Provence. I understand your point.

    A capital city is usually referred to as the seat of government, right? The city of London is not this. this would be another borough - The city of Westminster, which has the houses of parliament, the queens residence and no.10 downing street.

    The city of London is just a name, like the city of Westminster. As the current city of London was created by the two ancient city's merging, because of this they still hold city status, but they are not administered as city's, they are boroughs within the new city of London.

    The city of London acts as the city's(London) financial and business center, Westminster acts as the seat of government.

    Do you understand?

    I can't claim to have understood any of that - but the Houses of Parliament are in the City of Westminster not the City of London - if that helps you?

    Well everything you say is the same for Buenos Aires too.

    Buenos Aires Estate is like your London region But Buenos Aires is so huge that has several districts inside for political division and administration. This Buenos Aires is bigger than the whole UK.

    The city of Buenos Aires (can you see here? Of Buenos Aires CABA) is our Financial centre federal district and port and have also a surrender metropolitan area. Is natural the centre of all this urban mass Like London everything, transportation, airports, etc point to that centre.

    The city (BA 3m people) has a GDP of 92bn dollars and a GDP per capita of 30.666 (real in official exchange rate) and plus the rest for Buenos Aires made together 220bn.

    The federal govt. has the Pink house in the CABA like the white house in US but the residence family is outside Buenos Aires city in Olivos Northern Buenos Aires.

    The green area in satellite map is the Cristina House just in case
    http://www.satellite-sightseer.com/id/7455/Argentina//Buenos_Aires/Residencia_Presidencial_de_Olivos

    Move it down, left, top, right to the river and you will see how big is the thing.

    An also Buenos Aires is made by several cities inside for administrative issues.

    So Buenos Aires alone could be comparable with some little countries in Europe Like Denmark or Portugal and in Latam Chile.

    Have you got the picture?

    See you,

    I really fail to understand what your point is, i've said nothing about your capital city. I know nothing about it, i don't really care either.

    All i'm trying to get through to you is the fact that the capital city of the UK is London which is a city, not the borough “the city of London”.

    “Read your post #30 you have lectured me about your London that seems you don't know well either.”

    So what is all this explanation about London mate?
    I know very well London, for me living in Buenos Aires is a little funny town nothing to be impressive of flat old and dangerous.

    “All i'm trying to get through to you is the fact that the capital city of the UK is London which is a city, not the borough “the city of London”.”

    I know that London is the capital of UK and?

    But what you have done is compared Buenos Aires with London.

    Will you compare NY with London too?

    I'm just asking may be you think that there is really something to compare with.

    Well nothing mate NY Large city London Medieval Victorian style city with some building there. Just in case you engage yourself with a yank my city your city to avoid you the embarrassment.
