May 14th, 2011 - 02:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0No no mate we have put British and French fleet out before from earth by ground forces in the “Vuelta de Obligado battle” from the margin of a river.
Anglo-French fleet composed by 114 ships with 418 cannons against Argi forces made by 1 ship 4 batteries and 30 cannons.
What lead to the recognition from Britain and France of the ruling of Argentina over these waters Tratado Arana-Southern and Tratado Arana-Lepredour.
Another deception for Anglo-French imperialist aspirations down here, ha ha
Nothing to be embarrassed over Argentina’s war history always the underdog bad armed, bad trained but always kicked imperialist ass as usual.

Nicholas, are you saying that we didn't finish the job? mmmmm must have slipped through the cracks. well we'll finish it next time you start something(got to have an excuse, no?)

Well, you're not doing anything constructive with them. oh btw we'll give TDF to Chile. That should slow you down a bit.

@19NicoDin, what absolute rubbish. France has some of the finest troops in Europe. They also are combat trained in many parts of the world.

May 15th, 2011 - 06:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0France never won a war on its own. Can you tell me the wars won by France on her own?
1- First Rule of French Warfare: French armies only get victories when not led by a Frenchman. ha ha
2- Second Rule of French Warfare: French only wins wars when America does most of the job.
Have you ever heard about the Maginot Line? I guess not
World War II the Germans bypass the French's defences so easy that they were the laugh of Europe.
Are you sure you are Birtish? Because you should know that whom laughed more about it and made more jokes about it were... were... Bingo The British.
Here a joke “What do you call the Maginot
Line? A German speed bump”
How long will take to defeat the French? No longer than the time that takes to eat 3 croissants. (or something like that I don’t remember now)
Vietnam? Remember the French after WWII wanted to take controls of its ex colonies and started the war fighting Ho Chi Minh and they have to withdraw, ended up in the big mess involving the Brits and then the Yanks.
France better known as “The ever losing French military machine”.
The only country who lost 2 wars against Italy.
Algerian war- Lost, the only western country who lost a war with an African Muslim country since the Crusades.
First Rule of warfare of the following countries: Argentina, Alger, Italy, Russia, Germany, England, Dutch, Spain and Vietnam. We can always beat the French.
The only war won by France on her own that I can remember was “The
French Revolution” because the 2 belligerents parties were French.
What can I do?
Is what the British say so and must be true. What do you think?
: )
@22NicoDin. you don't seem to know too much history, only the pieces that suit your theories. France did very well in the Napoleonic wars until they took on too much and most of Europe was against them. Even the Duke of Welington said that Waterloo was “a close run thing”.
May 16th, 2011 - 09:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0Charles Martel defeated the Muslims at Tours in 746 and saved western Europe from an Arab invasion.
After Joan of Arc defeated the English in 1429 France gradually expelled them from France.
The Germans bypassed the Maginot Line because it had not been completed and did not extend to the sea. They invaded Belgium & so swept around the end of it.
What were the two wars lost against ltaly? ltaly invaded in 1940 but didn't get far until the Germans were in Paris. Then land was “awarded” to them by their allies.
The war in Algeria was for Algerian independance.Very difficult to fight a guerilla army if it has popular support as you should know. The Americans found that out to their cost in Vietnam & the Portuguese in Africa.
But do go on, l'm not“Birtish” btw, however l am British.
And you sound like an idiot.
Are you Russian or French Isolde?

I already told you that this is the British version of history.
And for you must be true like your version about the Falkland Island.
Why are you so much upset? Now you desired to become a Frog? Sorry is the name Brit give to them.
Nope you are wrong Napoleon lots the Napolenic wars.
About Maginot line you wrong the French generals were lazy and arrogant the Brits advised them about to take serious Germany, but their arrogance and laziness drove them to undermine the powerful German War Machinery far better than any other in Europe. The French and the Brits both were humiliated defeated (The Brits ran away like cowards). Watch the British’s forces looks like punks compared with the professional well fit and technological advanced German troops.

If wouldn’t be by the Yanks, you will be speaking German now and may be we will have not a dispute over our territories in South Atlantic region.
“But do go on, l'm not“Birtish” btw, however l am British.”
Can you explain that it is very confusing.
@Marcos Alejandro
I just wondering the same Marcus may be she is from Chile?
Who knows? : )
wonder as much as you like, señors. l already told you my nationality, but you will get no more personal infomation from me.
May 17th, 2011 - 10:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0l'm not upset, just amazed that you consider our land to be yours!
Also you are so very wrong with your history Nicholas.
l would say that if it wasn't for the Russians l “MIGHT” be speaking German now. And l might not.Who can say?
The dispute is over OUR territories, not yours. And to us, its not a dispute as we have no doubt that they belong to us. l do not care a jot what you think as l know for certain that it is not & never has been, your land.
So you are confused between Birtish & British? Are you dyslexic? My sympathies if you are(not being sarcastic).
Why do you think l come from Chile? l've never claimed that.
Better leave the vino alone & have a mug of coffee, Nicholas.

May 19th, 2011 - 12:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why are you so upset and angry with me? Anyway.
1- I don’t drink wine sorry I don’t like it.
2- The history as I said before is showed like this by British the same how tell you the funny story that those islands are yours.
3- We also have not doubt about that the whole archipelago and all surrendering it is our.
4- Here I would like you extend my self a little bit more.
“So you are confused between Birtish & British? Are you dyslexic?”
You and other fellows have been systematically pointing out any typing, spelling and grammar mistake made by me. Ok no problema (intentional mistake) ha ha
Now dear lady, allow me to show you, the other side of the coin please.
Do you kwon Robert Cox? Just in case you don’t the man is a British journalist and editor who move to Argentina in 1959 and live here during almost 30 years. His wife is Argentinean and also his son.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7BgRwH2IP8
Mr. Bob Cox doesn’t sound stupid when he is speaking in English what do you think? ok ok he lost a little bit of his Brit accent. Haha.
Now let see his level of Spanish. Do we?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7BgRwH2IP8
As you can see he has to be translated in a videograph and he sounds like a kid of 2, 3 may be 4 years old. He says 10 words and he makes 20 grammar mistakes after 30 years of being living in Argentina.
But this is not only a Mr. Cox’s problem, it is a very common problem among English speakers.
Having said that, I’ve never considered him a stupid man or thinking he is... how did you say ah yes “dyslexic” or that hi has a learning problem, as my intelligence goes beyond that.
Now can you show us your level of Spanish please? I guess not.
So lady don’t you ever use language, as a tool to disqualify people, is very silly.
You sure are intelligent enough to find thousand of intelligent arguments to do so.
So please, don't you disappoint me my little one, I still have a lot of fate on you.
: )
@28Nicholas, l am not your little one, stop dreaming.
May 20th, 2011 - 09:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0You asked me to explain what l meant when l pointed out that you had called me Birtish. Then you get upset when l explained. more Argentine doubletalk? l couldn't care less from now on about your spelling & grammar. l was only trying to help as l tried to help Think & others. lf you think that l am a smartypants then go right ahead.
My level of Spanish is not very high but l've never said that it is.
l'm working on it.
However l speak three languages fluently & can speak three more passably. How about you?
Nobody is using language as a tool to disqualify anyone, jumping to conclusions again are we?
No l don't“kwon”Robert Cox. some people just cannot speak another language and some people have the gift. l don't condemn them if they're making an effort.
All this is neither here nor here. l am pleased to see Anglo-French co-operation & the Falklands are ours and will never, (do you hear me Nicholas?)thats “never” be yours.
So, are you Belarusian Isolde?
May 20th, 2011 - 08:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0-well Marcos, you will have to trawl back through previous posts to find out, won't you?
May 20th, 2011 - 09:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@lsolde
May 21st, 2011 - 05:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0Why do you want to fight against me? Well I will not engage in that with you because I still think that you are a nice person a little bit nationalist and too much proud of your Britishness nothing serious that we cannot work out. Ha ha.
And I didn’t try to offend you I just wanted you to note that if you are using spelling and grammar to disqualify someone that its not clever. Ja?
And here and example of how its looks from the other side:
#####################################################################################
“señors” does not exist in Spanish it is Señor (singular) or Señores (plural) it is tricky like in German plural mann männer, Buch, Bücher, Frau, Frauen, Tisch, Tische, etc. When you thought that you got it by adding “en” in the end of the word you then realise that its not as that simple. Or are you dyslexic? My sympathies if you are(not being sarcastic).
#############################################################################
Can you see on my example above how nasty sounds?
Well I don’t think you are dyslexic or that you have a learning problem else its a common mistake made by someone who doesn’t use the language fluently every day or that even knowing the language has been for long time without practising it.
Anyway by know you should know that any language intimidates me to say what I want. haha
About that you are “not my little one stop dreaming”, will you be so selfish to ask me that?
We are already arguing like a couple I know that deeply in your heart you fell something for me.
What I’m not sure if its affection or hatred ha ha
Where are you going to find an extravagantly emotional and humble guy like me?
Think about : )
