    “continental solidarity” - this translates as 'fence sitting' wherever possible :-)

    “Unasur Defence Council round of regional agreements is finalized, it is the purpose of the Council to begin working on defence accords with the UK, among several countries.”

    And that's when I stopped reading.... haha

    Unasur working on defense accords with the UK... uh, no,

    Other countries... yes.

    Why is the UK still trying to downplay the HMS Gloucester incident? You're never gonna dock another military vessel in Uruguay again, end of story.

    That's it, cut and dry... no support for the UK in South America.

    GO HOME... STAY HOME.

    The Falkland Islander's home is the Falkland Islands and they wish to remain a British Overseas Territoriy. They are home and there is nothing Argentina can do about it. The drilling continues, and the rising Argie blood pressure is good entertainment.

    Bold statement

    Browne and Rosadilla also spoke about the close links between Uruguay and the UK in defence issues and the multiple opportunities for Uruguayan military personnel to train and specialize in Britain, “an area that both countries are interested in expanding given the positive results so far”.

    All your dickwaving rhetoric will not gainsay a long and cordial relationship between the UK and Uruguay, which deserves to be nurtured from time to time. My friends enemy is not necessarily my enemy.

    UK and Uruguay can have a friendly relationship irrespective of the foaming mouthed contributions from across La Plata. Fortunately for Argentina most of its officials too recognise the need for good diplomatic contacts between all countries and regions; some of the contributors on here might do well to step back from time to time and examine their lack of practical common sense.

    Martin/Kiwi, I wonder who is docking where next week eh? I know - do you? Gloucester- well that caused a political embarrasment to Mujica who had to go crawling in an unmarked car on a Sunday afternoon to ask to see the Brit Ambassador in his home, and a loss of several thousand dollars to Uruguyan ship suppliers. Did not bother Gloucester much at all - she refueled and restored 4 days later in the Falklands - and later was “lead-ship” of the foreign Navies in Valparaiso and Chile.s big naval exhibition - such continental solidarity! You two really are a laugh a minute!

    @ 15 “Rosadilla said the idea was to address the issue “case by case” taking into account the “continental solidarity” with Argentina but nevertheless relations with the UK are “extremely cordial” and Uruguay is pleased that the UK is again showing a growing interest in Mercosur, Latin America and the region.”

    Seems like it's Uruguay that's kissing arse! Good idea really. When Argentina makes its next landgrab (in Uruguay) who will come to assist? Much the same as Chile (combined naval exercises with the RN). Perhaps even Brazil (defence agreement). Oh dear. Argieland surrounded by countries with links to Britain.

    Beginning to get the idea, girls? You are surrounded by countries who appreciate links with a country 8,000 miles away more than links with you. All those wonderful words of support are just that, words. But you can always rely on Chavez. He'll support you because he's a total feckwit!

    Britain wasn't asking for help from Uruguay. It was asking to buy their food, fuel and water.
    Is the ship actually floating around there run out of fuel? No.
    We don't actually need South America, but we'd much rather be on good terms with our neighbours, and we won't stop trying just because you wish it. I'm sure the Uruguayans would like us all to be friends too.
    You got it right when you said Argentina is bigger, closer and more important to Uruguay than we are. Goodness that must make you very proud, you bunch of cowardly bullies.

    Obviously Uruguay as well as the other Mercosur countries will more and more support Argentina on the Malvinas issue as trade increases.And increasing it is at very high levels.As the Southern cone nations traded so little with each other until now there was no need for any serious solidarity but this interdependance is growing rapidly.This is not the situation with Argentina and Chile a situation the Argentine government should seriously address.When trade reaches high levels bewtween Santiago and Buenos Aires the planters and their English overlords will be completely isolated in the Southern cone.But not until then so the Palacio San Martin shoukld be pushing Cristina to open up trade with Chile as rapidly as possible

    You can say whatever you want Red, but we slowly, slowly are dragging you to the level of another province of Europe. Have you noted that?

    You cannot survive outside Europe. Isolation for a little country like Uki is really bad and especially broke.

    Well, well. You guys with your heads stuck up your own fundamental orifices should set aside you propaganda and look at the law. Under EU law the Falkland Islands is recognised as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom. This law applies to all members of the EU, including Spain, Portugal and Italy; they are free to maintain their own foreign policies on issues like Gibraltar and the Falklands, but that does not change the fundamental fact that the EU recognises the Falklands as a territory of the UK, and those countries regularly vote and act on that premise.

    So it doesn't matter how many “friends” you think you have in Europe, the law remains the same. It will be interesting to see how much Argentina contributes to the European support to Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Spain. Then they will see who their friends really are when things get bad - and I'll wager none of the comes from south of the equator.

    All this friendship and solidarity stuff - it makes you sound so needy. But don't worry guys, Hugo loves you.

    Stillakelper, the EU parliament is not the international law, besides that was include in a reform, so it can reform again, and if the international law says that malvians is still in dispute then the EU reform about malvinas is useless, an organism can not create laws or decrees against the laws of the UN, you should knew that, the only thing that says is that europe can defend malvinas if argentina attacks it but thats because as i said the UN look for peace not wars.

    Argentinian journalist says Menachem Begin supported military junta to avenge the 1947 hanging of Irgun fighter Dov Gruner.

    A new book claims that Israel supplied weapons to Argentina during the 1982 Falkland Islands War, The Telegraph reported on Thursday.

    Operation Israel: The Reaming of Argentina During The Dictatorship, by Argentine journalist Hernan Dobry, reveals that then-prime minister Menachem Begin struck a deal with the military junta that had invaded the Falkland Islands and was fighting the British.

    You had french missiles, Russia supplied you with missiles.

    US, Chile supplied us with information
    Russia supplied you information

    France supplied us with planes to train against.
    Brazil supplied you planes to use. Peru and Venezuela supplied parts for planes.

    All in all support from nations was pretty equal.

    At the end of the day the fighting between forces was done SOLEY between UK and Argentinian forces. And you lost. If making up excuses helps your ego then fair enough but your country failed, and has no excuses.

    @48 I do know that, and also that the EU law is not contrary to UN doctrine that supports the right of all peoples to self determination. The EU recognition of the OT's of its member states was not a reform, it was included in the Treaty of Rome, and ratified at Maastericht and Lisbon. Unfortunately for you lot your Government didn't wake up to it until Lisbon, but that's your problem.

    EU Law does apply in the EU. That is why EU member states are obliged to respect it, and however matey you think they may be they are bound by it.

    I don't mind the translation; I can't write in Spanish.

    I just want to know why you're telling us that. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the article.

    It seems that everyone is overseeing that Uruguay has a better claim case over the Falklands-Malvinas than Argentina, since they were took from Spain and Montevideo was the last domain of Spain on the area. IMHO opinion Uruguay should push the issue as a way to unlock the diplomatic issue. It´s a less horrible alternative to the UK and Argentina would be pleased to bull Uruguay about economic issues.

    Beef: respect for the civilians involved
    1) does not torture prisoners as they do in Ireland
    2) no starvation and disease kill civilians (India, Ireland, South Africa)
    3) allowing Guantanamo torture British citizens
    4) Torture and kill German prisoners from 1945 to 1947
    5) Supporting dictatorships like Pinochet who killed and tortured civilians and over
    decorate him
    6) To bomb cities full of civilian refugees as causing more Dresden
    100 thousand dead
    7) Do not kill unarmed civilians (Bloody Sunday) Ireland
    8) 70000 French killed by the bombs of the Allies in the Second War
    9) The killing of civilians in Afghanistan
    IF ALL THIS DID THE BRITISH goodie
    Suck BEEF SO YOU AN EGG AND THE ISLANDS

    69#Searinox: The Falklands-Malvinas was part of the “Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata”. Around 1810-1811 it breaks ties with Spain and later on the area was divided on several countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay. When Buenos Aires became independent, the Viceroyalty moved to Montevideo, inheriting the islands. Then the independence movement lead by Artigas overthrown it and Montevideo became independent from Spain. Artigas was defeated by a coalition of Buenos Aires and the Empire of Brazil. (Argentina did not exist yet, it was on 1826 when the town of Buenos Aires and allies became Argentina). Artigas also lead the “Liga Federal” witch (more or less) governed the “Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata” (claimed the islands by 182o). At the time it was Montevideo and Artigas´ faction that had a stronger claim on the islands than Buenos Aires. But Montevideo was invaded and Artigas defeated. However, by 1830 Montevideo (Uruguay) became independent again claiming the legacy of Artigas. Montevideo´s claim on the islands is better than Buenos Aires´one.
