Jan 21st, 2012 - 11:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0a)utterly failed in sabotaging the islander's oil industry
b)utterly failed in creating ANY meaningful support given that the islander's and british ships still go to and from south american ports
c) has done nothing but show the highest eschelons of argentine government to be even more pathetically hypocritical, pitifully impotent and hysterical idiotic than not only their predecessors, but their mewling online cheerleaders.
at this level of intensity, argentina seems set to move from a contemptibly minor distraction in the eyes of the world, to a contemptibly amusing distraction.
a bit like North Korea had North Korea no military to back up it's screaming propaganda tirades.
Randazzo is wrong. The Argentine strategy shall fail because the British government's do not possess permission from the Falkland Islanders to negotiate anything about the political status of the Falkland Islands.
Jan 21st, 2012 - 12:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That choice belongs to the Falkland Islanders under UN Treaty Charter Article 73 and Resolution 1514(XV), which covers the case of the Falkland Islands as a Non-Self-Governing-Territory. The power of self-determination is transferred to the the Falkland Islanders by UN Treaty.
The Falkland Islanders democratically chose to decline negotiations; this is their right. Therefore the British Government is prohibited by UN Treaty to conduct unauthorised and thereby unlawful negotiations concerning the political status of the Falkland Islanders on behalf of the Falkland Islanders against their open and democratically expressed choice to decline negotiation
Randazzo misrepresents: The UN does not mandate negotiations, rather it invites negotiation between and Argentina and Great Britain
If Argentina wishes to claim at the UN International Court of Justice that the UN Treaty and specifically UN Charter Article 73 and UN GA Resolution 1514(XV) does not cover the case of the non-self-governing-territory of the Falkland Islands, Argentina should make its case. However, until such time as the UN Treaty is over-turned and Resolution 1514(XV) revoked, international law applies. International law that Argentina and its allies are solemnly bound to uphold and obey the UN Security Council.
Therefore Argentina Foreign Policy to forcibly annex the Falkland Islands against the freely expressed will of the Falkland Islanders is ultimately doomed to failure.
Argentina would better serve its foreign policy objective to annex the Falkland Islands by convincing the Falkland Islanders to freely chose to join Argentina because to do so would be to their clear and lasting benefit.
Stay Classy, Randazzo! :-))
Jan 21st, 2012 - 12:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 02, for your information, The Martin Garcia Island doesn´t have any commercial propossites, just ecological space (between Argentina and Uruguay, please, read the agreements on both coutries). Another thing, the uruguayian navy has many permitions of our territory (in compliance with). In adittion of this, please, read more or don´t write thru UK ignorance.

Jan 21st, 2012 - 12:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This hubbub has NOTHING to do with The Falklands and everything to do with their economy slowing.
Jan 21st, 2012 - 01:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They are 1 drought away from collapse, they have a drought, it is only a matter of time now.
The RGs have no military, 2 hours worth of ammunition and no jet fuel. The last time their pilots had a training schedule was in the late 90s.
Let them yell and whine because this is just a distraction from their impending economic collapse.

Jan 21st, 2012 - 02:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You keep hoping for a military showdown but it is not going to happen .
It might help if you think of Britain's 13 colonies as simple anachronisms that - like the british national health and welfare system - will slowly fade away.
You are just paying the price of 15 years of libertarian economics and social engineering.
11. What an idiotic post, you are paying the price of 70 years of Peronism. I would much rather live in UK than Arg but thank goodness I don't live in either.
Jan 21st, 2012 - 02:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is more about distracting Argies from their real problems than anything else. Maybe this quest is just and honorable or maybe not, but that's not really the point at this moment.

16. Can you post a link to that stat? I would find that highly unlikely. I never heard of a Little Britain anywhere in the USA except as a cable comedy show. I very rarely meet anyone British living in the USA that is not on vacation or in school. If they choose to live outside of the UK they usually go to Australia or Canada. They have much easier immigration.
Jan 21st, 2012 - 05:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just an FYI the last USA census added “Argentinian” as one of the categories of nationality since there are 100s of thousands known to be living here illegally.

Stuck record again, funny how we heard this all before, such weakness and pathetic to state the same old proven bullshit. Only this time, there is no chance of distracting the ignorant masses of Argentina from their impending and continueing domestic doom & gloom by a quick invasion of the islands to drum up national fervour. Best if the dick head just shut up and try a different record as this one is truly scratched and well worn.

Randy has a big problem, he is using the rhetoric of the doom sayers in the 'Climate Change lobby' that 3,600 scientists have a concensus that the world will heat up and destroy all life, etc, etc, The fact that ALL the other scientists in the world were either neutral or disagreed with them was not mentioned.
Jan 22nd, 2012 - 11:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0Consensus is NOT AGREEMENT ON THE FACTS. The only fact Randy is not addressing is that the Falklanders (there are no Malvinas) will determine their own future without Argentina FACT.
The UK is under NO pressure to negotiate and why would it want to simply give the Islands to argentina when the Falklanders have made it VERY clear that is something they don't want or need!!!
Jan 22nd, 2012 - 11:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0Long Live the Falklands.
