Do you really think any nation in south america gives a damn about your fantasies of lebensraum? do you honestly think that they care what some deluded, crumbling, and soon to be dictatorship wants?
they give non committal, disinterested support for your claim at best to enable argentina to comply with their demands, and at worst to ensure they can get massively disproportionate favors from you in return for mere verbal backup. This is why for all their faint words of support, there has been zero meaningful action taken to help you.
argentina should really stop assuming the rest of the world shares argentina's delusions of it's own power, popularity and prestige, as such deluded self importance merely leads to inevitable collapse
Davidito is seen as a man of steadfastness.He vetoes an EU agreement in december only to happily allow 25 of the 27 to forge ahead in january.Cristina will take note this little man will talk when the.pressure gets hot enough.With recession already biting debt rising at formula 1 speeds it wont be long
Feb 01st, 2012 - 08:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0@o'gara - The veto never did stop the rest from going ahead you dumb irishman wannabe. All the veto did was prevent the UK from being drawn into or being part of such new agreement, which also means we are not obliged to follow the economic and finanical measures that the rest will have too, nor will we face being fined for failure to follow such measures. Not to mention the fact the Eurozone will never have control of our finicial sector either, much to their distaste.

They are constitutionally incapable of admitting when they are wrong.
And they have no problem lying, because they have no conscience.
They also have a hard time internalizing rules, norms, and moral codes.
Let's see, can't internalize rules, and have no conscience.
Hmmm, isn't that the definition of a psychopath?
In fact, yes, it is.
And make no mistake about it, in terms of the whole region we are talking about a culture of psychopathology.
And culturally speaking, South America in general does not like Argentina.
Argentina has one arm extended anxiously toward Europe, the other arrogantly pushing away the rest of South America while sticking out it's tongue to the U.S.A.
The adjectives I would use to describe the people: immature, selfish, dishonest, chaotic, confused, corrupt, and grandiose.
They are not worth taking seriously at all.
The world does not have one second to waste on people like this.
In fact, today, to be able to run any large scale organization, from a company to a country, requires a certain quality of thought and action, and a specific quantity of people doing the thinking and acting.
Argentina has neither.
Conclusion: It can not and will not survive the first quarter of this century.
While all this talk is going on China has bought 50% of The Bridas Corporation, while Global interests have bought the other half using an Argentinian as a front man.
That is pretty much what is happening here in a nutshell.
Puerta Madero is the example is the microcosom of the macrocosom.
It is booming because of an infusion of money from SOMEWHERE ELSE!
Do you think the region, famous for it's lack of productivity, has all of a sudden become productive?
And why btw is it unproductive?
Because it is a low-trust culture. Low-trust, low-cooperation, low-productivity.
The rest is all talk.
As for the Falklands?
No Army + All Talk = A Big Smackdown!
@5 A somewhat infantile approach to sovereignty.

Thats how the british think catagom and believe me they had never recognized any killings of innocent civilians in no of their adventurous wars.

@9 ah yes, that's why the largest public marches in British history have been against those wars, whereas the biggest marches in argentine history were in shrieking support of your attempt to subjugate the islanders.
Feb 01st, 2012 - 12:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Britain, like all nations has interests and acts to further them, often in amoral ways, as all nations do. However, unlike your own nation, Britain has a long history of challenging and toppling tyrannical regimes, and also of massively improving the lives, livelihoods and status of those in it's protection.
In the conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya we have assisted with the removal of demonstrably genocidal regimes which have caused near infinite suffering, and have aided in attempting to establish democracies there. While this indeed has been done in pursuit of British interests, it is still leagues ahead of what nations like argentina have done.
argentina on the other hand, has done little but exterminate natives and steal their land, massacre political opponents and try to bully a peaceful island community into submission.
But what truly shows how different Britain and argentina are, is that only in argentina is there a brainwashed, spineless population of drooling nationalists who demand thousands of innocent islanders be subjugated and ethnically cleansed, just so that argentines can fulfill their delusional national myth
preserve the region as a zone of peace and prosperity .. Wasnt it the argies invading the islands 82 that caused nearly 1000 deaths .. They seems to be the only ones with blood on their hands in this issue

Feb 01st, 2012 - 04:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe worth remembering that French Gianna is part of territorial France.
What's the relevance? Well any pan Latin American rhetoric on colonisalism, etc directed at Britain over the Falklands Islands, is probably far more relevant to French Guiana, which is not part of the South American land mass but has a native South American population. It is effectively a part of the EU siting smack bang in the middle of the OAS.
If France wants to maintain sovereignty of French Gianna, it is in their interests that the EU takes seriously the threats to the Falkland Islands.
It is in the interests of the OAS and EU that good relations continue. It isn't in the interests of the OAS to back a fascist governments claims in Argentina for territorial advancement. You may have a lot of back slapping and a lot of rhetoric but in reality, Argentina is on its own and always will be. Most of her neighbour fear her because they know the average Argentine isn't too bright.
France was much more clever to avoid any future troubles with french guyana. Brazil and France are in SOFA (status of force agreement) more or less an military and political alliance and

Both countries have good arguments to defend their legitimacy over the islands.

Sorry Argentina but I can see quite a few countries’ bordering you just waiting in the shadows to ambush you, you are actually in a very difficult situation now, you have no money, your government is corrupt every country in South America hates you no matter what they say to your face. They are just waiting in the shadows for you to fail in this debacle. And seeing that you have no military to speak of I would not be surprised that in a very few short years you are invaded by one or more of these countries who are saying one thing and meaning another. your actually a very naive nation and that will be your downfall. You can’t see what is happening before your very eyes can you Country's like Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and one or two more are pushing you by supporting you in your fool’s gold in to a confrontation with us and when you do finely snap and do what THEY want your ripe for picking. BE WARNED for your own sake or Argentina will soon cease to exist.

You're country has a track record of empire building too, starting wars with Brazil, annexing Paraguayan territory, threatening to invade Chile to seize their territory and attacking the Falklands. Not to mention the operations to sweep the natives from your desert regions and the dirty war. All these acts reguired a large amount of brutallity which the average Argentine will deny if you challenge them (to be fair you're countrymen are quite rightly disgusted at the actions of the Junta and I share your desire to see justice done to the guilty).
History isn'nt pleasant, we've all got enough blood on out hands to go around and we know it.
Stop making up ridiculous sweeping statements. You can crayon in as many imagined English atrocities as you like into your bumper colouring book of atrocities, lets see you prove your point with some sort of statistics, only I don't see that happening because you know you are talking codswallop.

I adore shb's history lesson. Permit me to add an addendum of tru to his/her apocrypha:
Feb 02nd, 2012 - 01:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0(1) Argentina went to war with Brazil in large measure to support Uruguayan patriots fostering rebellion in their homeland against the quixotic Brazilian Empire, a monarchical power in the Western Hemisphere, which had OCCUPIED Uruguay in 1822. Argentina had been fighting for 10 years against Royalism in Latin America; it was not about to tolerate a monarchy holding occupied territory across the Rio de la Plata, which the locals did not wish (sound familiar????). The war with Brazil was in fact to repel an empire, and not empire building by Argentina.
(2) The Paraguayan war was a conflict, and I know people here will go apoplectic reading this, where Argentina perhaps was the most innocent player. The preponderant cause of the war was the combination of an extremely jingoist dictatorship in Paraguay (who had larger army than the ABU alliance COMBINED at the outset), coupled with Brazilian historical meddling in both Paraguayan and Uruguayan affairs, leading to factious intra and extra-national alliances. Somehow (I'm a layman on the details), the Uruguayan government of the time gained the antipathy of both Brazil and Argentina, but was supported by Paraguay. When Brazil invaded Uruguay (again), Uruguay solicited Paraguayan help. Paraguay declared war on Brazil, yet after a (forced) change of government in Uruguay following the Brazilians deposing the prior one, the new Uruguayan regime realigned with Brazil. Months later, this belligerent environment precipitated an invasion of Paraguayan troops into Argentine territory; Argentina retaliated.
The race for Patagonia was performed with no threats to invade Chile. Both nations signed a series of treaties. If some Chileans today are dissatisfied with how their government dealt with the Patagonian and Tierra del Fuego questions, well that is not our concern. Are you suggesting peaceful treaties are conquest?
Lesson over.

Feb 02nd, 2012 - 05:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0Really o'gara - Sorry but you misunderstand what is actually going on. The Veto still Stands, the UK is still not signing up to the EU fiscal treaty, all cameron and the government has done is backed down on its stance to not allow EU bodies to be used to enforce the EU fiscal treaty on those that signed up to it. Perhaps you would care to explain how that means the UK's stance on signing up for the treaty which it vetoed (which only means they refuse to be part of the treaty) now means we are signing up to it when indeed we are not signing up to it at all. We are not part of the EU fiscal treaty as a result of the veto and that is not going to change nor has it changed. And i for one have not seen a single article in the press of on the news or anything mentioned in parlimentary debate on the issue that suggests the UK has decided sign up to the EU fiscal treaty. I suggest instead of reading just the headlines of UK about turn on eurozone treaty that you actually read the article and read between the lines, before making inaccurate and false statements. As we are not and will not be signing up to the EU fiscal treaty and neither is the cech republic.
In fact heres just one of many articles that makes it clear we are not part of the EU fiscal treaty - http://praguemonitor.com/2012/02/02/pr%C3%A1vo-pro-eu-parties-should-sue-klaus-over-fiscal-treaty
and i quote the relevant part, just incase all you read is the headline - At an EU summit on Monday, all member countries except for Britain and the Czech Republic joined the new EU fiscal treaty. While the British rejected the treaty last December, the Czechs did so at the very last moment in Brussels. Note the article was dated 2nd february 2012.
Now show us a single article that says the opposite!!!!

That's the myth that says in effect, We never do anything wrong. Things are done to us.
Blah, blah, blah.
Like I said, you're all talk.
Oh, and can you prove any of the accusations you made against the British
Of course you can't.
But I can prove everything I said in my comment about Argentinians.
All one has to do is Look and See as Wittgenstein used to say.
Just come and look for yourself. A nation of Mama's Boys.
But the bottom line is: All talk like yours that I have heard from that kind of Argentinian is clearly pro-war when it comes to the Falklands.
Pro-war in spite of the fact that you have no Military!
This is what is known as Psychotic Arrogance.
You are simply asking for it. And you're going to get it.
My advice to the good Argentinians, and there happen to be more than a few, though regrettably not enough, is save your money, speak lots of English, and get with an English company or start one that is fluent in English.
Why? Because the world is not coming to Argentina. The world is here.
And it is doing very well.
Expect the immigration laws to change.
Expect a large flow of Chinese, Africans, Europeans, and Americans, and Canadians too.
Buenos Aires is already the fifth fastest growing city in the world in the 21st century and it is all coming from outsiders.
As one Argentine friend told me, If you are 30 and can't speak English you are ****ed.
So Liberator you can't win a war, you don't run your own economy, we do, and you can't protect your people.
You morons couldn't pick the winner of a one horse race.

Your knee-jerk reaction is to continue to put the blame somewhere else.
Doesn't matter. You guys are doomed. You're just another typical Latin American Idiot, like the book of the same name describes.
You have no conscience so we can't make an appeal to your humanity.
All you do all day long is blame the US and English, and Western Europe and blah, blah, blah.
The idea that someone from one of the most corrupt cultures in the history of culture or countries actually thinks he is morally superior to ANYONE else, let alone Americans is laughable.
But yet you take yourself so seriously.
What does the US Foreign policy have to do with dog shit on broken sidewalks, trash on broken streets, spray paint on broken buildings, etc? Nothing.
Also, many Americans have spoken out about how it's Foreign policy has enraged the Middle East. But you deliberately ignore that and then - like most Argentinians, present your stupid idea as an ultimate truth and in an arrogant manner.
You're sick, crazy, and stupid and you will not have a country for long.
Also, do you know who controls the US Foreign, Domestic, and Economic policies? Do you think it's the President?
And you talk about Americans as if they were one person.
We are 300 million. The most diverse population in the history of countries.
So, which American are you talking about?
You don't know!
But you keep on talking anyway, instead of cleaning up your own country.

It hadn't even had to fight a real civil war to maintain power, just murder 50,000-100,000 of its own unarmed political activists and we all know how easy that was for their brave and heroic military men, like their hero Commander Astiz.
It took the Falklands War to shake the Argentines into some semblance of reality. Remove their military government and see the Americans as something other than a benevolent uncle, rather more like a the uncle you kept your children away from, you know the one in the old mack who always had his hands in his pockets and a grimace on his lips.
But within a few short years a girl came alone, a wannabe Eva Peron and took them all the way back to year zero! And the Argentine people gave up their collective memory and switched back to servile child.
In the West it's very difficult to understand how the average Argentine thinks. We have to imagine how our own per-adolescent children think and we can then get into their mindset. Give them a box of toy soldiers & some flags to play with and they are as happy as pie, tell them that they can't own Tracey Island though and they will cry their eyes out.
At school, the teachers would always tell them “Tracey Island” was their's. Even though the reality was, it wasn't..
