We are not crying, Marcos. We're laughing at you.
Dec 28th, 2011 - 11:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0Grande Flaco, Marcos, don´t worry. We want the selfdetermination of our country without any stolen land pirate, Malvinas. The bastards of UK without any support. Kakakakakakakaka!
Dec 28th, 2011 - 12:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0When will Chile's leaders grow a backbone and stop bending over to Argentina?
Dec 28th, 2011 - 12:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0FI is not recognized in Latinamerica... you´re only illegal occupants or Argentina´s islands. This is what the continent is clearly saying.
Dec 28th, 2011 - 12:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sooner or later the UK will have to accept this.
The kelpers need to drink another kind of vitamins because they are not very clever (they stay in another country without UN law). Just believe that UK is God. Stolen land without international rules, selfdetermination of what?. Selfcritical with you, my friend.
Dec 28th, 2011 - 01:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Islas m if you believe UK will ever change it's Falklands policy without Islanders asking us to you are nuts beyond belief. We will never deviate away from the principle of ensuring people have self determination and we'll use our considerable resources to make it happen. Falklands are a democracy Argenttina will never stop that.

Dec 28th, 2011 - 01:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The UK does not give a dime about your “self fetermination” rights.
It´s only an excuse.
Argentina does not want to stop democracy.
Charle, you are part of militar and economy UK strategy, just this. Thanks of this problem, Argentina grow up the nationalism and patriotic spirit for our land. Imagine the same situation if Argentina catchs the Man Island. Oversizes territories permited UK stablish control of maritime economy, but, when OT are part of another contry, you will never have liberty to do whatever you want. We don´t have any problem to fight 1, 2, 3 centuries for our right.
Dec 28th, 2011 - 02:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Kipling I don't need to imagine what UK would do if Argentina had a legitimate claim to Islands near Uk. We have an independent nation a lot closer to our country than Falklands is to you it's called Sealand. We now get on very well with the sealand royal family including giving them dual citizenship of UK. Thhat I believe is how we'd act with any country with legitimate claims near our coast. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_Sealand
Dec 28th, 2011 - 03:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0kakaka, it is not Royal Family ...., perhaps you need to know international laws from 1600, 1700, 1800, I recommend in french, it is more easy to understand.

There used to be some nutters (from South America, obviously) that used to put “Jajajajajajajaj” Equally stupid. Equally mindless. Equally brain-dead. Equally meaningless. I won't talk about your claims of stolen land. You don't have the intellect or intelligence to make it worthwhile.

@7 I do hope that you don't think that you are typing intelligible English. Never mind. They do say that, given enough time, a roomful of chimpanzees could write one of the great classics. Regrettably, you don't have the advantages enjoyed by chimpanzees.
@9 Of course Argentina doesn't want to stop democracy (snigger). It hasn't found out what it is yet.
@10 Try English, boy. But I'm glad you lot don't have a “problem to fight 1, 2, 3 centuries”. Britain doesn't really think in terms of such short periods of time. But at least we know how long you lot will be making yourselves available for target practice. You and your children and your parents and your wives and husbands and your town and your cities. I'm sure, since you all seem concerned with our financial situation, you won't mind if we use you all for bayonet practice as well. Straw dummies are getting soooo expensive, whilst there seems to be a never-ending supply of South American dummies. Are you up-to-date with how much CFK has creamed off you so far? Last time I looked her personal wealth had only increased by 572% between 2003 and 2009. Just wonder if, over the same period, YOUR 'personal wealth' increased in the same way. Have you got 600 pesos for every 10 you had in 2003? Argentine economic strategy. JOKE! You do know that every time CFK goes out of your cesspit she looks around for palaces she can live in when she figures she's taken enough of your money, don't you?

Elaine, as you were my sister, why do live in a territory in despute? are you oil engeneer? writer? perhaps, you are lossing many things to do so far from UK.

Kipling amd Marcos - can either of you tell me where you experct relations between Argentina and the Falklands to be in say 3-5yrs time if you are successfull in the current campaign of blackmailing and bribing your neighbours to cut links with us?
Dec 28th, 2011 - 06:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Shall I tell you what it will NOT achieve:
It will never achieve any form of discussion on our future between Arg The Uk and the Islands.
It will though make the islands become totally independent of the entire continent of S America and develop more of their own resources and further expand our current air and shipping links that do NOT involve S America.
It will make it impossible for any Argentine to ever visit the Islands(unless they have a second passport of another nation) be they tourists,family relatives those buried in the war cemetery here, veterans who need to lay the past to history etc.
Please explain to me how and where this policy is going to advance Argentina,s aim of takeover?
Because buggered if I can see!
26 - Visits for relative and veterans to graves should not be stopped, it is no longer their fight. That should be the difference between you. How you conduct vourselves.

Dec 28th, 2011 - 07:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@26 You have to wonder if there is any real will from the Argentine government. They must be aware that their actions are impotent and they make absolutely no effort to take the matter to the ICJ.

@32 Argentina will never shut up. There´s not such a thing as a Full Stop untill both parties come to an agreement. So you´ll hear us clear and loud. The UK can hide his head in the ground like an ostrich... but eventualy it´ll have to see the outside world.
Dec 28th, 2011 - 08:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Islander, you don´t understand or don´t want to understand, The relationship with UK has never been good (FROM 1833). The realtionship between USA and UK with S. America has never been good (just for you) as well. Nowadays, you have another kind cenarios, the Global Economy, China (as international leadership), Russia, and another players. Russia (ex-URSS) have a strong relationhip with Argentina (before, during and after Malvina´s war). China join to Russia, has a strong relationship with Argentina (militar leaderships conections, economics strategies, etc). The diplomatic peacefull argentinian strategy earns more benefits (front of UK provocations) and alies, that UK will never imagine to perform. The international diplomatics point of view to Malvinas discussion is so strong favour to Argentina. Obviously, China and Russia have strong movilization for many resources etc. than UK for Malvinas. You just are part of geopolitical and economic strategies from UK.

Of course, but we prefer China than UK. And UK outside of S.A. The new brothers... we have strong comercial results thanks to China and Russia.

Read the writing on the Malvinarse....Falklands are going to be South Americas Gibraltar....a cause that you like to talk big about, but can do nothing practical about, its taken the Spanish 311 years to get nowhere, long may it continue :)
Kipling if was Argentinas land.....why then is this land that is yours marked by the complete lack of any form of Argentine govt :)
The Malvinas are not managed by an Argentinian government only because previously these Islands were stolen by UK using the military force. As you know, If somebody steal you something using some kind of force, the thief is not the rightful owner.

Uruaguay and the northern part of Chile were part of the Vice royalty of the river plate. This is the basis of argentina's claim to the falklands, so equaly the have also a claim to those territorys, on that basis.

All of this back and forth argument is pointless. By 2050 Argentina will no longer exist. It will either be a territory composed of innumerable craters and ruins through which a few mutants stumble in the hope of finding some decomposing offal. OR it will be one huge crater. The Atlantic may or may not have broken in.

has anyone seen how illegal aliens are treated in USA or how UK treats the Gipsys ?? they have something really cool called deportation orders, a law Argentina could really benefit from when dealing with illegal aliens in Islas Malvinas Argentina, the coolest part about it is that it's all done under the law, for example illegal aliens don't have rights to vote nor can they work or be elected to gevernment, in other words the british illegal aliens in Islas Malvinas Argentina have rights to self determination in UK as british or self determination in Argentina as Argentines, or they can opt to go back where they came from, people who theft land and resources can't be trusted to come anywhere near your land, we know UK history and we have our share of it, I don't think Argentina is intesrested in UK BS.
