    The world has changed and Britain has to come to grip with the new world order.
    Latin America is on the rise and is very important to American interests.

    Some of them Brits already reacted on my comment about this topic at:

    But………….curiously, no Brit reacted on my other comment on the same thread........ I will repeat it here:
    ”56 Think (#) Jun 08th, 2011

    About the ”Myth” of Malvinenses (Falkland Islanders) being in control of ”their” Oil and Mineral Resources…………..

    Very little, if anything is available on Internet about who really decides about those resources……..

    But……………… Let’s read some London Stock Exchange News from today, Wednesday 8 June 2011 about Falklands Oil and Gas Ltd.:

    ”Northern licence area approvals
    On 24 May 2011, the Executive Council of the Falkland Islands approved a six month extension of Phase 1 of the northern licence area from 15 December to 15 June 2012. This extension requires the final approval of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office…….....”
    www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/market-news/market-news-detail.html?announcementId=10887201

    This elucidates, once and for all, who really is in charge of the Oil and Mineral Resources on the Islands..........
    And it is definitively NOT the Islanders.

    Chuckle chuckle…….”

    “ OAS General Assembly welcomes the reaffirmation of the will of the Argentine Government to continue exploring all possible avenues towards a peaceful settlement of the dispute... ”

    It is peaceful !

    “ ... Finally it decides to continue to examine the Question of the Malvinas Islands at its subsequent sessions until a definitive settlement has been reached thereon ....”

    Always does ....always will :-)

    ” .. “Britain will never give in to threats from Argentina or its tyrannical allies in places such as Venezuela”.

    Still true !

    #2. Latin America is like an old man's er*c*ion, the moment you think it's there, its gone!

    #3 We aim to please, although we don't understand you denture fixation!

    #4 let me enlighten you Think, the islanders are not an independent nation and therefore there remains some oversight in the UK. This is likely to continue as the islanders do not appear to want to become an independent nation. And who can blame them with the neighbour's that they have. The real point of course is that Argentina is not in charge, and unlikely to ever be so .... chuckle, chuckle :-)

    #5 Marian .. you are missing the point. These article in the British mainstream press harden attitudes towards you and favour the islanders. Which is why they are put in there of course. But I'm glad we make you laugh.

    Obama is no fan of the UK just because we set fire to his grandad or somesuch, but then he will be gone. If not soon then in another 5 years there'll be a new administration. And so it goes on. The OAS is nearly defunct anyway as the south American nations appear to be pulling away from the US and Canada. And even then, who cares.

    Same old, same old .... Argentina will be doing the same old stuff in 10 years time, no nearer to getting its grubby little hands on what does not and has never belonged to it. And it will still be afraid of going to international arbitration because its case is unsound.

    Argentina is f*rting in the wind, that's all she wrote!

    Maybe Mr Obama is trying to lessen tensions between the US and Venezuela.

    Maybe Mr Obama woke up, looked at a map and realized the US is in the same continent as the rest of us.

    And maybe, he realized that Europe is old, dry and faded, nothing to gain by siding with bad-teeth pirates like YOU.

    Let me see. This OAS declaration calls for negotiation? Correct me if I am wrong. It doesnt make any demands or request a transfer of sovereignty or propose any form of sanctions. Is this the best the OAS can do?

    In that case it is pretty toothless and is another set of words that cam be ignored. Argentina will never challenge the Islanders rights to self-determination in the ICJ which is the only course of “action” if it wishes to challenge UK soverignty.

    There is a reason the US signed this declaration, it get them some kudos in Argentina but as it doesn't contain any sanction it is pointless.

    I'm sorry, but I don't know what the fuss is about. Typical Telegraph over-reaction to a meaningless non-event. The OAS declaration does not state anything new. It pretty much repeats previous ones not to mention UN resolutions. Effectively saying that Argentina and the UK should solve their dispute.

    Importantly though it does not say that the Falklands are Argentine territory and it does not say that the only resolution to the dispute can be a transfer of control to Argentina.

    Often it's what things don't say which is more important than what they do say.

    This is the same OAS that as I recall passed a resolution “to condemn most vigorously the unjustified and disproportionate armed attack perpetuated by the United Kingdom” on the same day that 2 Para freed 114 Falkland Islanders from the unsafe and unsanitary conditions that they were being held in.

    Another nail in the coffin. The Falklands are doomed. It is only a matter of time. Argentina will “regain” the Falklands. Another slap in the face. Come on Argies. It is time you start being realistic and join reality. You have won another meaningly Public Relations battle. If this is enough to satisfy you then I am not worried. Why should I? The British flag is still flying in the Falklands. Argentina is still spouting impotent rhetoric. I am still British. The Falkland Islanders are still exercising their right for self-determination, which we will continue to exercise, forever and ever and ever. You may win these minute PR battles and piss of a right-wing blogger for a terrible newspaper, but the Falkland Islands will remain British.

    You can take satisfcation in the small details and winning small PR battled, while I, along with the rest of us Islanders, will take satisfication that we will decide who wins the war, which is what brings us all here, and the whole purpose of Argentina's past, present and future stances. And at the end of the day the real winner is who gets to put up the flag in Stanley, and that will always be the Falkland Islanders.

    If you RGs think our position is so weak now, why not send your troops in and take the Islands from us by force? There's obviously nothing stopping you.

    Think - squatters need evicting and the only way to evict squatters is with a legal writ and forced removal. Two things Argentina is unwilling to do as it lacks any legal position or the military capacity.

    Perspective. Perspective is desperately needed. So America supports Argentina's call for discussions over sovereignty, again. Just like last year and most likely next year.

    Since the US agreed the previous time at OAS, has Argentina taken significant steps in colonising the Falklands? Answer: No. And what significant change in this year's agreement will force this situation to change so Argentina can colonise the Falklands? Answer: None.

    So why are the Argies on here seemingly overjoyed at the colonising of the Falkland Islands....? They have once again won a small PR battle. But like I have said, you will not win the war, because lets face it, you don’t win wars.

    I take immense comfort and pleasure that something so insignificant can make the Argies so joyous. They know subconsciously that these small victories are the only victories they will ever win, so they better make the most of them.

    Think; your poor interpretation of the relationship between the Falkland Islands and Britain is laughable. Once again an Argentine has added two and two together to get whatever answer they wanted. By your interpretation Canada, Australia and New Zealand are also British colonies. The structure you stated is that, a mere structure, Britain have to sign it off to ensure the governance of the Falkland Islands. They will not dictate how the Falklands wishes to exploit its resource, because it’s not their place. The fact that they have never dictated conditions and have never received a penny from the oil activities proves (and never will), once again, your highly dubious interpretation is incorrect.

    Enjoy your PR victory Argies! Savour it. Because you will never win the war.

    Obama is a twit who doesn't check his facts; no way can the UK sit down and negotiate with Argentina on the question of sovereignty. Read on:

    In the first place, the claim to the Falklands inserted in Argentina’s 1994 Constitution does
    breach UN Resolution 31/49 of 1976. It was a unilateral act performed 18 years after the
    passing of the UN Resolution (no previous Argentine Constitution mentioned the Falklands).
    The EU treaties do not breach it; they simply list all EU overseas territories, and Britain’s
    overseas territories were listed from 1973, three years before 31/49. Those treaties have been
    widely misunderstood in Argentina; and even the Lisbon Treaty does not set that list of
    territories in stone. Argentina’s constitution, however, does just that. It now requires any
    negotiations over the Falklands to end in total British capitulation; there is no other possible
    outcome. No arbitration is possible now either, since Argentina could not accept a result that
    went against its constitution. UN Resolution 31/49 was intended to promote a negotiated
    solution, but Argentina’s constitutional claim prevents just that. It is a breach of that Resolution.

    Prodigious youth Typhoon assembles his sample of ordinary Americans from anonymous commenters on a website.

    Well, Obama's approval will vary mainly according to the US economy's performance. Its military success or failures voters will also take into account. The US's position re: the FI is not even close to make it to the list of things Americans will have in mind when voting for the next presidential elections. And AFAIK, Americans are more disappointed at the Congress - the Republican dominated Congress - than at Obama himself.

    This conflict is not resolved with resentment and revanchism. Resolved to peace and dialogue.

    As the world public opinion is internalized conflict over the Falklands, many countries are sympathetic to the claim of sovereignty. And even in the UK itself believe it is possible to reach an agreement acceptable to both parties. Just so long see Web journals and specialized in the field.
    It is very important to the work of these years of Nestor and Cristina Kirchner to bet as poetic state of disarmament and non-violence and opt for dialogue and peace among peoples, the fact is that Argentina has decreased significantly its military investment merely reducing the bare essentials. This contrasts with the aggressive policy arms of Great Britain to hold a suspected nuclear base in the islands and yet continues to humanitarian bombing civilians in Libya. This has fallen badly in public opinion worldwide.
    This is just a small step on the road to recovery of the islands and respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty removed in 1833. The British people can live on the islands, while respecting their culture and interests, but under the sovereignty Argentina without any problem, as the Welsh in Patagonia. The Welsh are fully integrated into society Argentina.
    As Luther King said: There are no roads to peace, peace is the road. I think most English people have the same deep feeling. Peace, dialogue and nonviolence.

    Oh go on then I have another one.

    In Tulip land

    1. You can get arrested for growing plants, but not for smoking them.

    2. You can make jokes about the Belgians and still drink their beer.

    3. a. You can legally kill yourself
    b. You can legally be killed

    4. You're exactly like the Germans, except that nobody hates you.

    5. You think you are a world power, but everyone else thinks Copenhagen is your capital.....

    6. You get to insult people and defend yourself by saying it's a national tradition.

    7. You can put your finger in a dyke and it will save your country

    8. You live in the most densely populated country in Europe, and still you've never seen your neighbours.

    9. If the economy is bad, blame the Germans. If a war is started, blame the Germans. If you lose your keys, blame the Germans.

    10. Bikes are public property. Locks are a challenge.

    Facinating hysterical drivel on here! First of all Think convinced we are all under the daily thumb of imperial colonial masters- if so Think how is it then that nobody from UK can come here to live and work unless they have a Work Permit granted by our Immigration Dept? Also how come we can(and have done) evicted back to UK someone who has committed a crime? Reality is as others have indeed pointed out- we have internal self - government and control over our offshore EEZ,s fish or mineral. Maybe you will finally believe reality if commercial oil is found and developed and then you can track the revenue into FIG - not HMG!
    Then Marcos with his new passport - so what I dont need one nor want one! Then Raul with his story of a military nuclear missile or bomb store hear and the nasty British!
    And it all started because the OAS- who have no influence internationally - passed the same resolution that then have done for umpteen years - which has produced what effect over these years?- answer Nil! Get used to politics boys - it was-is-and probably always will be a superficial game of “you scratch my back here and I,ll scratch yours”, out of those areas where we need to work together - then those countries often go different ways! But in reality we all know who will stand alongside who if and when the shit really hits the fan!
    So we here in the Islands are not bothered - because we live in reality.

    Morning all ... this thread is going well I see.

    Think is still hopeful of a money solution but still failing to see that, with half an eye on Antartica, the equation is never going to tip in his favour. Fundamental flaw in your argument Think, squatters have no right to be where they are, but the Falkland islanders have every right which is why Argentina is so afraid of going to the ICJ.

    Rolly seems to be living on a different planet and thinks that the Brits want a fair settlement, not realising that we achieved that in 1833.

    All in all, the usual load of cr*p from the far side.

    So! Falkland Islands still British? Of course they are ... it's their choice ... but the Argies don't understand that. In another 178 years they'll still be looking enviously across the water and grasping at any straw that comes their way.

    Which is exactly what the OAS was ..... a straw for a drowning man!

    I do wonder sometimes what would happen if the British Government turned around and said, “Hey, ok, we'll negotiate”? Of course nothing would come of it but then what would all these American old boys clubs write down at the end of the buisiness class bash ??

    Such a wonderful bunch of people these Argentines, they whisper such sweet nothings in our shell likes, and tap the same on the interweb; I'm sure that the World reads the pertinent and obviously entirely truthful information they make available here, and is persuaded that they are a reasonable people, with reasonable demands...

    Then again, maybe not eh? No matter how they dress it up, its a load of old Peronist bollocks from the 1930s / 40s, a completely manufactured story to excite the lowest common denominator, and unite them as a mass of low forehead humanity ready to do the bidding of the insular flawed democracy that rules them. They remain uneducated by the policy of the state, which is to indoctrinate them all in the Peronism Fantasy World, where Argentina stands proudly at its centre, the rightful ruler of Latin America.

    We see how effective this indoctrination is on this very forum, when the brightest of a not terribly bright bunch, spew their hatred and lies regarding all things British.

    We're dehumanised, regarded as second-class humans, a land of pirates no less; those Nazi's that were given safe haven after WW2 have certainly worked their usual magic, such wonderful mentors of the new Argentine Republic (lets not mention the missing 30,000 eh?), its all a prelude to invading the Falklanders, annexing the fantasy, driving away the nasty British. It worked so well they actually used it in 1982, FAIL.

    Now, they seem to think if they whine loudly enough...

    Think - unfortunately for you there is no way that Argentina can tip the cost benefit equation. You are deluded if you think you can. The FI are managing pretty well on their own regardless what your bunch of corrupt and wealthy 'Marxist' leaders are attempting.

    When oil eventually flows to market from the FI then a new stream of income will emerge. I am afraid that all your verbally supportive allies will not be wiling to obstruct such potential and the FI will have many well endowed suitors.

    Where will the oil go? Cape Town, Miami, Chile or perhaps Brazil. After all the Brazilians are happy to see FI seafood arrive at their docks.

    All I have read on this issue is that Obama as said that he would like Britain and Argentina to talk about it all. That's a quite a few miles away from supporting the pirate country of Argentina. They can read into this article what they want but be it 5 years be it 50 years be it 1,000 years the Falklands will still be the Falklands unless the people on those Islands want to be part of the pirate country of Argentina. As one Iron lady onece said.

    As Margaret Thatcher famously reminded the world, in an address to the House of Commons after the Argentine invasion in April 1982, the Falklands are, and always will remain British:

    The people of the Falkland Islands, like the people of the United Kingdom, are an island race. Their way of life is British; their allegiance is to the Crown. They are few in number, but they have the right to live in peace, to choose their own way of life and to determine their own allegiance. It is the wish of the British people and the duty of Her Majesty’s Government to do everything that we can to uphold that right. That will be our hope and our Endeavour and, I believe, the resolve of every Member of the House.

    So there you have it Pirate race, tough titty. now go away and cry.

    Obama very rarely refers to the Special Relationship. London is now
    treated in Washington as though it were the same as any other
    country.
    4) Betraying Britain to appease Moscow over the New START Treaty.
    5) Placing a “boot on the throat” of BP
    6) Throwing Churchill out of the Oval Office
    7) Insulting words from the State Department.
    From a senior State Department official ”There’s nothing special about
    Britain. You’re just the same as the other 190 countries in the world.
    You shouldn’t expect special treatment
    8)Undermining British influence in NATO

    The only thing special about the Special Relationship is the amount of self-deception you need to believe in it.

    4-Britain call her self as the best US ally.
    5-Britain goes to any American war if US just ask for.
    6-Britain is the useful tool of US in Europe.

    1-We were against US’s world policy after the WWI and WWII.
    2-We have never partnered with them to declare war to Germany.
    3-We have competed against them for influence and economy power.
    4- We have kicked the @ss of one of their ambassador in the past
    5-We were and are the most anti-American country (according with them) in the whole America.
    6- We had sized their cargo and we still are holding it.
    Etc, etc, etc.

    And US supports Us instead of Britain?

    It is not a good joke about the geopolitical value of Britain in the new world order?

    @100 Searinox,
    Maybe we will not get Antarctica, but you certainly won't. When the world runs out of fresh water, the big boys like China, Russia, lndia,Usa & the European Union will be putting their claims in and/or fighting over it.
    Argentina(& maybe us too)will be just in the way & collateral damage.
    So l wouldn't crow too loud just yet.

    We must remove all British colonials from South America and reclaim Malvinas for the motherland. No British should be allowed to live in Malvinas! Teach them a lesson for their crimes of 1982. Argentine Military must take power and arrest the liberals and coward military who lost us 1982 war! Argentine must work with Obama to arrest colonial operators who persecuted his family in Kenya and exterminate the colonial forces in Malvinas.

    Isolde if we dont get it then we drop a nuclear bomb in there and nobody will get it... at least that you want to drink contaminated water, that counts on you.
    Stick up your junta, you always showing videos or news from bbc or the sun... its like i show you links about clarin or La Nacion in here jaj and you need to take a look about the imports that uk has, almost all of it is in food. what do you have when almost all the imports that your monarchy does is the same it has...
    RedHoyt it is a bilateral problem because the UN says it is... and if the UK want the diplomatic power that the UN gives to them they have to accept everything that UN says. i never heard any country saying that malvians belong to UK.

    At least 'Think' thinks some of his countrymen in here are deranged, maybe one day he'll see the truth, although it doesn't really matter, he'll be long gone before the status quo changes, and so will everyone else.

    I wonder what the consequences would be for Argentina, if they ever dropped a Nuclear Weapon on either the Falkland Islands or Antarctica.

    Somehow I don't think US/Argentine relations would be so good, and UN/Argentine relations would be poor too, and the spectre of the UK launching a retaliatory Nuclear Strike might make UNASUR, MERCOSUR, and the OAS fall apart at the seams while ALL the countries, including Chavezville, would be trying to ensure they aren't also a legitimate target or at least no downwind of the Mushroom Clouds over Argentina.

    'Think', you really do have some particularly thick morons as bedfellows, I'm assuming the men sex is unusually good for you, as you appear not to disagree with the crass stupidity in evidence here.

    2. Setting off a nuke down there would melt the place, causing rise in oceans world wide and possibily killing billions of people.

    I didn't even type anything about a nuke in my first post. I just quoted what you wrote. I understood perfectly well what you ment, if you didn't get your own way you would nuke the place which is an incredibly stupid thing to do because it wouldn't harm us at all, and if you did manage to break off certan ice shelfs would just cause massive tsunamis in Argentina while killing off loads of the fish you guys catch yourselves.

    Because the Treaty forbids the militarisation of Antartica, and the soldiers you have there cannot have weapons ....... but the Treaty does not include the sea areas. Our ships and subs can be armed to the teeth however!

The also have powerful laser-cannons circling in orbit that few might know about, but still both the UK and RGs keep thinking they are the SUN in this planet... IF the USA says Britain and Argentina should talk, they will have to, although the most plausible thing to happen is Argentina will lose the Malvinas forever... unless there is united and coordinated support from all Latin american states in blockading the British products and factories and citizens... THIS is of course delirious thinking, LATAM cannot coordinate a nice BBQ along with good music...

    @ 138, actually we have two LPDs currently at sea, HMS Illustrious, and HMS Ocean. Lusty is undergoing sea trials after a refit, and Ocean is off the coast of Libya.

    If we have no money how is it we can afford to give £800 Million in Overseas Aid to people that aren't British? How is it that we can afford to refit an old carrier? How is it that we can afford to build two brand new carriers? We still have an army capable of fighting beyond the two hour window available to Argentine land forces, we are the Land of Hope & Glory, and you're still scared of out flags, indeed the only ones you lot carry are white.

    Apparently (I am sceptical myself), we have created 500,000 new jobs in the UK within the last 18 months, and Unemployment figures are down, so I'm unsure whether offering us free toilet paper is an advantage.
