Argentine minister and UK generals exchange blows on Faklands defence
“Force” and “defence budgets” are the only reason Great Britain can wield in support of the Malvinas Islands where “it holds 2.000 people hostage on Islands of Argentine sovereignty”, said Argentine Defence minister Arturo Puricelli. Read full article

Disclaimer & comment rulesall this nonsense started not because of a political campaign which CFK would have won by a landslide regardless - but because the UK arrogantly began extracting limited resources from a contested territory.
Sep 29th, 2011 - 12:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0now their old fat generals are concerned.
and how ignorant could these fucktards be? argentina's constitution prohibits retaking the islands by the use of force. the congress would have to approve a change in the constitution and then the use of force. so no, “intent” can't happen overnight.
even if that weren't an impediment, argentina's defense budget up and until this year is still 1% of its GDP. Only next year will it increase to 1.5% and even then its not enough to go to war anywhere.
so way to use argentina as an excuse to spend more on defense when unemployment in the UK is thriving and more and more people are getting poorer.
@ 1 scary, isn't it? you just crapped in your own pants hahaha coward, what did you expect? cristina the president, cristina the queen, cristina the goddess, cristina the lady of plastic. ustedes los kirchneristas son malos, a ver donde están esos montoneros, a ver??? :)

You could say thank you for the return, by Britain, of democracy to Argentina!

You could thank us for our contribution to the EU funding that helps support your economy.
But saying thank you for something that's never likely to happen is a bit wierd.
As wierd as your politicians perhaps! One of who thinks that the civilian population on the Islands is under armed guard, and the other, who thinks that you are missing a bit.

Sep 29th, 2011 - 10:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Argentine government would never let the truth get in the way of an outrageous lie. Fortunately, the world knows when an Argentine Minister is lying; their mouth is moving.
Sep 29th, 2011 - 10:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is a nothing story. Argentine government lies - no one cares - TFI remains self-governing and British for as long as it wishes.
In 1982 Argentina thought (?) that Britain wouldn't or couldn't come to the defence of the Falkland Islands. It cost them 649 killed, 1,068 wounded, 11,313 taken prisoner, 1 cruiser, 1 submarine, 4 cargo vessels, 2 patrol boats, 1 spy trawler, 25 helicopters, 35 fighters, 2 bombers, 4 transports, 25 counter-insurgency aircraft and 9 armed training aircraft. Despite the loss of 2 destroyers and 2 frigates, Britain's losses were less than half that overall.
Sep 29th, 2011 - 10:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0It's “nice” to see that Argentina's constitution prohibits the taking of the Falkland Islands by force. You can't “retake” something that has never been yours.
Argentina should remember that, in 1939, Nazi Germany started the war with a major superiority by land and in the air and in terms of technology. They had also enjoyed an unbroken string of successes. The only real difference it made was in terms of time. By 1941, before the United States joined the war, the tide had turned. Notably in North Africa, where the Italians had been roundly defeated. Eighteen months later, even Rommel had been defeated.
Britain, of course, has an inherent inability to accept defeat. Especially when faced by a country like Argentina. Quality will always tell. And Britain's capabilities are still the stuff of dreams for Argentina. With a major programme of defence spending and training, Argentina might pose a credible threat in around 10 years. Except by that time Britain will have moved on.
And so Argentina is reduced to the level of a niggling nuisance with no legitimate claim to the Falkland Islands. If they had a legitimate claim before 1982, their defeat in the Falklands war ended it by reason of “uti possidetis”.
And so Argentina is reduced to hot air and illegal economic warfare. Why is it illegal? Because Argentina no longer has a legal or legitimate claim. Witness its unwillingness to go to the ICJ. Because it breaches the UN Charter. Etcetera, etcetera.
In the article and in its comments section, I have witnessed two of the largest Argentine “misconceptions” ( I will say misconceptions, but we all know that they are just Argentine lies) regarding the Falklands.
Sep 29th, 2011 - 11:39 am - Link - Report abuse 01. The people of the Falkland Islands are not being held hostage. I am one of those islanders, and I can easily prove this, and I find it laughable that Argentine politicians keep claiming that we are held hostage. It can easily be proved wrong, so it is clearly for Argentine consumption, e.g. win polticial favour.
2. Britain is not exploiting natural resources from the Falkland Islands. Firstly, all fishing revenue goes to the Falkland Islands Government (FIG) which is administered in the Falklands, with very little outside intereference. We have our own democracy that is voted for by Falkland Islanders. Secondly, how can Britain exploit any oil resources, when it is in the exploration stage in the Falklands? And thirdly and most importantly, all current and future hydrocarbons revenues will be received by FIG. Britain will not benefit directly. Indirectly, FIG may pay for its military defence.
These are facts. What you see Argentine politicians is spouting conveinant lies to drum up support in their own country. If you wish to believe them, then you are bending over to their propaganda.
At present Britain has just four aircraft and about 1,000 troops in the Falklands. If they were again attacked by Argentina, it is hard to see how they could be reinforced. Its only friend in the area would be Chile.
Sep 29th, 2011 - 11:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0The last time Argentina attacked the Falklands, Britain had strong U.S. support. It also had a powerful Navy and the Falklands task force included two aircraft carriers. It had Vulcan bombers which could reach the Falklands and crater the Argentine-held runways. The U.S. and Britain also had Reagan and Thatcher as leaders, and Brazil was a fairly friendly neutral. This time, Obama's behavior might be taken in Argentina as a go-ahead signal. Argentina does not have particularly good armed forces, but they are there, and in any renewed fighting would have huge advantages in numbers. Britain has no carriers and no Vulcans. How long can four aircraft, that is assuming that they are all air-worthy, put up an air-defense? The British press, which has a habit of dwelling masochistically on Britain's alleged “shame” and “humiliation” when defeated at football and the like, might get a chance to find out what those words really mean.

@15 All of the above?
Sep 29th, 2011 - 01:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The truth is that the Argentine government is running out of other people's money to spend and likely to lose outside funding because they refuse to honour their financial obligations to repay debts. CFK sees TFI resources as something to appropriate in the future and to secure funding.
Argentina has all the potential to be a wealthy and successful country but is run by crooks. I doubt the Ministers in CFK's government could collectively muster an IQ running into double figures. But they are not chosen for their intelligence, just slavish devotion to the party line.

Sep 29th, 2011 - 03:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Because no Argentine army could possibly get to the islands with four typhoons shooting anti ship missiles at your ships. And because if they did land it would be a complete impossibility to take the islands in under 48 hours. After 48 hours troops would be landing by plane as reinforcements.
13 fantazum201
Sep 29th, 2011 - 03:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Think you over estimate Argentine chances of launching a successful invasion.
In order to successfully take the Falkland, Argntina would have to land enough troops to quickly take the airbase before Britain could fly in reinforcements both in terms of additional fighter cover and ground forces.
Given that any naval force Argentina could currently put together would be completely out-matched by the Royal Navies submarine patrol in the area, an in intial invasion by sea would be costly, if not suicidal.
Landing troops by air to quickly take the airbase would seem the option but given the bases air defence capabilities the 1000 troops on the ground and the fact that you would have to risk intercpetion from the fighter patrols, again would be extremely risky.
So you are left with incredibly risky invasion by air or sea, or by air backed up by sea, but you would still need to gain air superiority and quickly take the airfield to prevent resupply of the British forces, so it would have to be an incredibly well planned and well executed assualt.
No if you can do that. If you could successfully take the airbase and hold it against any counter assualt while you reinforced your position, then yes, Britain would struggle to retake the islands as we no longer have active aircraft carriers.
Then again we will soon have two massive new carriers...
Can't say I like your chances to be fair.
”It's so obvious that the (UK) can only think of a strong budget support for strong, have no reason for such a display of force, but to hold hostage the 2000 people confined to South Atlantic Islands are Argentina's sovereignty ”
Sep 29th, 2011 - 04:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0From another point of view of the Falklands conflict, Puricelli is quite right.
Assuming hypothetical case in which the islanders want to live with sovereignty English Argentina, would be the true face of the United Kingdom and the Islanders would deny that desire and manifest their true colonialist and imperialist exploitation of natural resources and would fall his classic double discourse of self-determination for the islanders denying it to the islanders.
@22 Don't suppose there's any chance you could make that intelligible, is there?
Sep 29th, 2011 - 04:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hostage? What planet does this fool live on? A hostage is held there against their will. They call the RAF Typhoons going overhead “The Sound of Freedom”. If it wasn't for Argentina's aggression, the military wouldn't be there.
Sep 29th, 2011 - 04:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If the Falklanders are confined to the islands, then how come they are free to leave and arrive at will, although Argentina's propsed blockade will no doubt attempt to change that. And indeed, even if they did become Argentine, would Argentina change the isolation of the islands, by perhaps, building a bridge with their $500m GDP? Or maybe Argentines think they can walk on water; if that is the case, I hope they will try to do so.
Ultimately it's not our fault if Argentina as weak and we are strong. Maybe if Argentina stopped whining about the Falkland Islands and tried to bring itself out of the third world, it might actually be able to pay for decent armed forces.

Responding to your question, there would be problems in living in the British government. But my foundation would not be in self-determination. Before I would make sure me and ask if anyone lived there before, where my shoes floor, and if someone was sent to live where I intend to live, in my determination. It is a principle colonialism and imperialism. You live part of the century 19 and 20 dominated economically by the United Kingdom (the Roca-Runciman) and never had so much inequality and poverty in Argentina.
With all due respect, thank you very much.
Raul,
Sep 30th, 2011 - 05:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Open your mind.
Since the 1960s the policy of the British Government has been to devolve government onto all of its overseas territories, encourage the maximum amount of self-government possible and to grant independence on request.
The British Empire disappeared through granting independence, with local insitutions of democracy and self-government established, countries of the former British Empire are among the most stable of former European Empires simply for the fact there was no costly wars of independence. Most former colonies retain a relationship with the UK through the British Commonwealth. And before someone mentions basket cases like Zimbabwe, thats the exception that proves the rule.
On the other hand former Spanish colonies, who fought for independence in the 19th Century still lack mature democratic institutions and still riven by irredentists border disputes dating from over 200 years ago.
So the simple answer to your loaded hypothetical question, would the British accept the Falklanders request to pass under Argentina sovereignty, then the answer is an unqualified yes, yes they would.
And in the 19th and 20th Century there was an equally stark poverty gap in Europe. IT had nothing to do with the British, it was the way of the world of the time.
If you're going to view a people through a lens of what is essentially prejudice, then that is merely a thin veneer for complete ignorance.
Interestingly enough, I once had a conversation with an Argentine who said to me it would have been better for Argentina if the invasions of 1806 and 1807 had succeeded. For now Argentina would be independent, democratic and largely free of corruption.
Anyway Britain wouldn't choose to take on sovereignty of Argentina, we've enough basket case economies in Europe.

Oct 01st, 2011 - 05:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Dear JustinKuntz
The British Empire disappeared for the independence of the grant, with local institutions of democracy and self-government established.
Please, from my point of view its colonialism and imperialism continues to this day, stand next to U.S. and try to disguise the democratic garb and continue with its exploitation of natural resources, enough to see today in Iraq, Libya, their humanitarian bombing civilians, Afghanistan, etc..
In 500 years of history, never apologized for the massacres in India, Pakistan and Africa for the slave trade to name a few.
The British Commonwealth is a disguised form of maintaining colonialism.
So the simple answer to your question hypothetical load, which the British accept any request for Islanders to pass under the sovereignty of Argentina, then the answer is a resounding yes, yes they would.
I appreciate your sincerity, but I think at the time their request is for a big surprise. The UK is the refuse and see the true face of colonialism. Never give freedom to that.
On the other hand ... the former Spanish colonies.
True, we do not have an established democratic tradition. But that is due in large part to the intervention that the United Kingdom with the United States, promoting the doctrine of national security, terrorism and state support as coups in Latin America.
Remember Teacher support Galtieri Margaret before 1982 in its policy of terror and disappearances. Just look at the reports of Amnesty International to understand.
Interestingly, I once had a conversation with an Argentine who told me that would have been better for Argentina if the invasions of 1806 and 1807 were successful
It is very difficult to believe, I recommend you read two books, “British Policy in the Rio de la Plata” Chávez Fermin and “The Open Veins of Latin America” and see the atrocities committed by the United Kingdom.
Thank you very much.

And before you lecture on the “slave trade”, look at the history of that trade and the role of the Spanish and Portuguese - they transported more slaves. And look who abolished it before both. Ciao.
Also check your history books, Thatcher's Government did not support Galtieri's.
And whether you believe or disbelieve I do not care. Whats clear from your posts here, is you have a closed mind.
