Argentina will accuse UK of South Atlantic and Malvinas militarization before UN
In a much expected speech President Cristina Fernandez announced a further escalation of the Falklands/Malvinas sovereignty diplomatic dispute with the UK including formal ‘militarization’ complaints before the United Nations, a personal attendance with a delegation from all parties next June 14 to the UN decolonization committee and called on PM David Cameron to “give peace a chance” Read full article

Let's see if Cameron has the brain to stop a war that he has begun already by not showing responsibilities as a UN member
May be he also wants to create his own
Europe.
Please, do not forget that EU is trying very hard to sign a economic trade with Mercosur by the end of 2012. China, India, and Japan are in already.

Feb 08th, 2012 - 02:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, in marked contrast to the one official protest in 90 years between 1850 and the 1940's. They gave up their false sovereignty claim in law in 1850 with the Convention of settlement, that “settled the existing differences” between the countries and confirmed that “perfect friendship” between the countries had been restored. You can't just go changing your mind 40 or 90 years after a legal agreement.

@ malvinero
Feb 08th, 2012 - 02:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0You are correct about the type 45 destroyer as it was designed a 'picket' ship to defend Britain's aircraft carriers. The type 45 has no offensive capability other than a deck gun.
There is already a cheap system using Drones to overwhelm the Type 45's defence mechanism which relies on 48 sea to air missiles and once those missiles have been fired the ship is essentially defenceless.
The Type 45 on patrol around the islands does not carry any anti-ship missiles which is rather strange and the helicopters the ship carries do not either - which is very odd.
Er - no, I don't think they are :-)

During WW2 Britain was in far more debt than today, we're talking trillions more.
Where do you live Malvero? Most Argies on here seem to live elsewhere.
BTW I've lived in the Falklands and spent time touring around Latin America and Argentina. And coming from someone who is divorced from either side, really Argentina doesn't have a leg to stand on. It's a clear cut case. Put all the pressure on them you like, it's not going to do anything but make your country look like Zimbabwe. Cristina Kirchner is giving Mugabe a run for his money. But then your economy is competing with Mugabe's for the worst in the world.

We can not be independent because Argentina has militarised the South Atlantic and constantly threatens us, attacking our ships and our economy.

The British Empire
“Three years later, the British did formally leave the islands and they passed into the Spanish Empire for the next forty years. This arrangement was formally recognised by the British in the 1790 Nootka Sound Convention by which Britain formally rejected any colonial ambitions in 'South America and the islands adjacent'. It also reflected a weakening of British power in the Western Hemisphere coming shortly after the embarrassing loss of the 13 colonies partly thanks to French and Spanish intervention.
The Spanish claim on the islands would falter with the South American Wars for Independence at the start of the nineteenth century. The Spanish removed their formal representative and settlers from the island from 1810 and completed it by 1811. The islands were left to their own fate for the next decade as sealing and whaling ships might call in from time to time to take advantage of the harbour and fresh water. It was not to be until 1820 that the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata would send a frigate to the islands in order to assert their control as part of the legacy of post-colonial Spanish claims to authority there. Buenos Aires would appoint their first governor in 1823 who tried to limit the whole-scale slaughter of seals which were in danger of being made extinct on the islands. A penal colony was also established on the island”

The scheme (convertibility) was an inmoral cash cow for speculator.It was obvious,that in 1993,the scheme was going to collapse.The Natural resource index,is strongest in 150 years.Soybean,beef,milk,Gold,Cooper,Silver,Uranium,litium(Argentina is th e3 largest reserve of lithium).Sorry,I do not see any problem.Unfortunately,because I do not like CFK.

Spain also quit East Falkland in 1811, again as the result of revolting colonies, and again leaving a plaque proclaiming its sovereignty over East Falkland and Puerto Soledad. Europe as a whole also had its problems with Napoleon, tying up resources and breaking previous Treaties and understandings. Spain's dominions in South America reflected these changing alliances; resulting in conflict between the Provinces, some declaring for the Spanish Government, some for Ferdinand VII.
In 1816 a few of these Provinces came together, for a while at least, as the United Provinces, declared independence from Spain and conducted a fleeting war against it's old master via privateers. One such was Colonel Jewett who commanded the Heroina and who, in 1820, made a claim to the Falklands on behalf of the United Provinces. His authority to do so is obscure, and no Order has ever been discovered, but he made it anyway. When Jewett left, he failed to inform Buenos Aires of what he had done, and left nothing behind. Not even a plaque.
The Falkland Islands remained then uninhabited until 1826. Luis Vernet, a cattle dealer from Buenos Aires, attempted a settlement in 1823, but this failed to gain a toe-hold on the windswept islands. He tried again in 1826 with some limited success. In 1828 Vernet improved his position by gaining tax exemptions from Buenos Aires, and seeking British permission for his settlement,...”

“It is a shame Argentines are lied to every day and accept everything their media and their government tell them. It's a sign of a third world banana republic.”
Your own government, the UK, is lying to you, about the bailouts, printing money, why more cameras on the streets and in cabs is a must, in the name of security, the signing into law the ACTA bill created by the US (ACTA is SOPA and the US NDAA bill on steroids). It so much better to deny it, because reality will hurt your eyes.

You can call us all the names under the sun. But you know who the real war mongers are. We've faced worse than CFK's rants! Your country has had more military leaders, than civilian leaders, your country invaded our islands, murdered our people, murdered your own people, dropped them in the Atlantic Ocean, you call them terrorists, their families call them sons and daughters, young people who wanted a better Argentina. An Argentina free from the war mongers like you Marcos Alejandro. You know what you are a disgusting vile product of a vile disease called nationalism. We've fought your type before and smashed them!
The only true Argentines are the ones who don't wrap themselves up in their flag and threaten and intimidate neighboring states, be they Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay or the Falklands.
The true Argentines don't explain their military's roll in the murder of tens of thousands of their own people by labeling the victims “terrorists”.
The true Argentines may not be as vocal as the raving lunatic Argentines who dress up in balaclavas and set fire to businesses, while the police watch them and do nothing, or rant on and on about the Falklands and how Kirchiner is so like Peron, its like going back in time to the 1930's!
But the true Argentines are the normal Argentines, the calm, intelligent, diplomatic and caring people who build nations, rather than rip them apart.

It was you who invaded us in 1982. Either you are all seriously deranged, something we tend to think you all are, or you are fully cognizant of who the military threats are coming from. Economic blockades are an act of war, harassment of shipping in international and national waters are also an act of war.
Threatening to land special forces armed and dressed up as fishermen is also an act of war.
I study political science but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to realise who is militarising the area.
All of you posting here know this. If you can log on a PC you have the intelligence to work out this basic piece of common sense. What you are are imperialists. Argentine neo imperialists, set on expanding Argentine living space for strategic reasons and natural resources.
Just as you find it impossible to tell the truth about the Falklands, you lie about how well meaning you are towards the people, while then claiming no one really lives here and we're either imported “colonists”, pirates or military.

There are some truly crazy Argentine posters on here. How can they keep saying 'the UK is finished' when we are the one with the stable economy and the highest credit rating in the world then compared to Argentina running with inflation at over 25% which we all know is truly disastrous and unsustainable not to mention the default in 2001.
Feb 08th, 2012 - 07:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0I do find these posts truly puzzling when they go against every solid fact out there and I also find them somewhat silly given any argument the Argentine poster could of had is then destroyed by what we know are pure lies. The facts are the facts and saying otherwise doesn't change that.
To be fair the Argentine posters can gain a lot more credibility by not trying to tell what are complete lies and focusing on the subject in hand.
There is a reason the UK is building one billion pound plus warships and above (the new carriers and astute class) and why the Argentine military can't even afford to keep its existing fleet up to date.
Its such uncalled for posting and such shameful posting that weakens the argument Argentina has and this is no different to them calling us pirates, thiefs and other such names.
If you are to be taken seriously you need to stop with the lies and deceit and you'll get much further.
Post 57 is a good example. CFK did a superb job, did she? What has she actually achieved other than to get the one of the biggest enemies of the US on her side? Honestly Argentina really could of done without Chavez opening his month and spewing out more nonsense, this again weakens the Argentine argument.
It's a bit like the ALBA group who were linked to supporting the Russian and Chinese veto at the UN over the innocent massacre of the Syrian people and Chavez went on to call the veto 'very positive' which is outstanding given it allows more killing of the innocent. By Argentina having support from the people weakens its own position.

Feb 08th, 2012 - 09:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0The efforts of the President of Argentina to keep this issue alive are not stemming from any rightous claim but from a bid to consolidate her government's failings on the economy.
The Islanders position is inviolate: the UN would destroy the core of its structure if it were to ignore the right to self-determination.
Argentina's President, by presenting the issue before the UN, has strengthened the resolve of the Islanders and increased the value of their voice around the world.

“The type 45 has no offensive capability other than a deck gun.”
Feb 08th, 2012 - 01:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Wrong.
“There is already a cheap system using Drones to overwhelm the Type 45's defence mechanism which relies on 48 sea to air missiles and once those missiles have been fired the ship is essentially defenceless.”
Also wrong. The 45's Radar is very advanced and can track hundreds of targets at the same time. They just wouldn't use the missiles on Drones. Any modern radar can tell the difference between a Drone and a fighter jet.
“The Type 45 on patrol around the islands does not carry any anti-ship missiles which is rather strange and the helicopters the ship carries do not either ”
The helicopters carry anti ship missiles. They have a port which will have Harpoon missiles they can fit should the need arise.
“which is very odd.”
The only thing that's odd is where you get your information from.
The t-45 isn't there for ship attack. It's there for air defence. If an attack was to take place you'd find that the Typhoons would be doing multiple sortes against your ships with anti ship weapons while the destroyer sits between the islands and Argentina giving air defence. This way the jets can do many, many, many sortes without having to worry about air defence.
The other alternative is to have a frigate, which run out of anti ship missiles quick.

@5 The Royal Navy has had a ship on constant patrol since 1982. Wonder why? In 1982, argieland ignored UN Security Council resolution 502. CFK's declassification of the Rattenbach report is irrelevant. We all remember the videos of argies going wild in the streets at the news of your cowardly, underhand attack. 66,000 argie troops versus 80 Royal Marines. How glorious...NOT. Every argie alive in 1982 bears the responsibility. And every argie born since that promotes the same false claim is equally responsible. Tell CFK to grow up. Drop the false claim. Remove the relevant article from the argie constitution.
@13 If it's a useless surface ship, presumably it would have the same effect as a RoRo ferry. Why are you bothered?
@17 Can you smell the exhaust gases of a Trident D5 nuclear missile?
@25 Thank you for the info. Based on that, available information and our equipment, your joke navy should take us about 20 minutes or less.
@28 Couldn't miss this. One 1970 argie peso = 10 million 2012 argie pesos.
@30 Looking forward to the £168 million A DAY, England will save when the Scots depart.
@38 So? Your air force asked to be allowed to construct an airstrip. Your problem!

An agreement was reached in October 1989, known colloquially as the “sovereignty umbrella” agreement. Further agreements covering things like fisheries, hydrocarbons etc were reaching in the years after that. That most recent in 2001. The UK has complied with the last UN Resolution on the matter. It is telling that there have been no further UN Resolutions about this. That fact that Argentina withdrew from those agreements in 2007 is a matter for Argentina. It is Argentina's problem.
Malvinero1,
Feb 08th, 2012 - 02:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Firstly, a lesson in finance for you. If your investment in Argentina is giving you a 20% return and the unofficial (official figures are hidden by the Arg government) is at 25% then your risked your money and made a loss :-(. Probably not a good retirement plan.
Secondly, as a netural observer (I am a Kiwi, not a Brit) all the sanctions and posturing from CK looks very silly, not legally standing and I can't see the UN even entertaining her complaint. Even if it does, the UK has a veto so it's all a waste of time really. I mean how exactly can she complain about the military presence on the Falklands given what happened 30 years ago - it's just shameful that this issue is used as a political tool and makes Argentina look like a country with more machismo than intelligence.
I hope the Falklanders make plenty of money from the oil, even though they are already far more prosperous than Argenitina (per capita). Looks like there is a LOT of oil out there - perhaps this is the real target for CK. I will be investing my money in those companies pumping the oil out, i'll let you know the return on investment once all the oil is produced.
Have a nice day all.

Does that mean that Argentina is also a grave danger to international security? [Put tongue in cheek] What about the nuclear powered submarine that they are developing? [Remove tongue from cheek]
Also, hasn't the level of forces and miltary equipment in the Islands remained relatively constant for a couple of decades now? I forgot about Fl Lt Wales, of course - maybe they see him as some sort of Rambo figure who's going to single-handedly take over Argentina (I can't quite see it myself).
It hasn't taken too much to ruffle the feathers of CFK and her cronies on this occassion. They really are going to get laughed out of the building with this one.

Feb 08th, 2012 - 02:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Britain, like most countries in Europe or Russia, China, USA, etc etc has an awful lot of blood on its hands. As does Argentina. Argentina seems to find it very difficult to examine in depth and thus crititicize its country's past. It still paints itself as a righteous country born from the ashes from the fight for independence or better still 'freedom'. In truth Argentina was born because the descendents of the conquistadores and immigrants had had enough ,understandably, of sending the resources of 'Argentina' and their taxes to Spain and also had the ability to kick overstretched Spain out. However, the Indigenous people were still told to; conform to the new state's ('Argentina's') rules and culture, get out...or die. They werent liberated. This was colonialism also and should be much more widely acknowledged by Argentina as it is in New Zealand, Canada, Australia etc..

Feb 08th, 2012 - 04:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0My dear Briton, you should learn from your ancestor. When they looked what was going on across the Channel (1783 French revolution) they envisioned what was coming next to their shores and closed ranks internally. You should do the same again: just look across the Channel, mind your own affairs … and stay home.
But after they consolidated their internal front, nothing could stop expansionism. Then came the era of “Splendid Isolationism” where “Britannia ruled the waves”: The UK’s Geo-strategy supported by militarism, industrialism, evolved into Colonialism in Asia and Africa; such policy managed to make a mess out of India, China, etc. etc. etc.
Britannia attempted to set foot in Buenos Aires; in early 1800 two invasions led by Beresford and Whitelocke were defeated. Yet in 1833 you ancestors managed to settle the Malvinas islands with what you used to call kelpers (today called “islanders” because of the pejorative meaning of the word) and expelled and imprisoned the local inhabitants loyal to the new government in Buenos Aires. Since the ‘islanders”, were generally of British origin and spoke the English Language, it is not a solid argument to say they consider themselves loyal to the UK and thus to “claim sovereignty” to was occupied by force.
But everything that goes up eventually must come down, WWI and WWII with the cost of lives and economic resources eventually put restrictions to the “Grand Dream”. Thus ended the Empire where “the Sun never sets” … and with it the end of colonialism.
So again I say to you: Just look across the Channel, mind your home affairs … and stay home.
Like i said in all my comments, the history will always be submited to omitions, in both sides, that's why it's absolutly necesary that everyone investigate about this conflict, in order to not to parrot any official propaganda, which omits important issues. In my case, i made an exhaustive survey, taking into account the british arguments too, and i have enough reasons to deffend the rights of my country respecting the malvinas-falkland islands, beside, i can send my investigation to anyone who wish to read it, on the other hand, i will present it as a study for my carear as student of geography.
Feb 08th, 2012 - 04:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Now my question is, if there is not any posibility of a new invation by argentina, due to the historic context since 1983, ¿then why the british government keeps such a militar base in the south atlantic?, ¿doesn't the british government know that our budget of deffence is one the lowest of the region?, it shows perfectly that we dont want any militar solution, but diplomatic, that's why our president is doing the right thing, anyway the government should have done it many years ago.
On the other hand, many of you like to argue all the time about the support of our people during the war, however what you ignore is that in that time, there was not any freedom of press, the four chanels were under the hands of the junta, and the press published lies all the time about false triumphs of the argentine forces, beside galtieri in hes statement of april 2nd 1982 said that we had recovered the islands with out any rencour, which was absolutly false also.
So, you should study deeply the question, in order to avoid any unfair comment, anyway most our people must criticise their behaviour after the war, because most veterans suffered a terrible discrimination when they returned.
Honour and glory to the soldiers of both sides, for having fought for a cause that they considered as fair, beyond the corruption and oportunism of miserable governments which used this sacred cause in 1982.

This may be somewhat off topic but it was being discussed a while ago by the ever deluded Malviner01 that the HMS Dauntless is defenceless against Argentine rockets, and once the Dauntless' own missiles have been fired, his has minimal offensive power. I'll tackle the first myth first. Malviner01, have you ever heard of a CIWS, a Close In Weapon System? Even your outdated and poorly equipped warships should have them. They are equipped on almost every modern warship in the world, and the HMS Dauntless has several. Their purpose is to track incoming missiles and blast them out of the sky if they get too close. They are near impossible to get around due to their incredibly high rate of fire. Your Exocets do not scare us. Also, the HMS Dauntless has a powerful deck gun, which can blow a hole in the side of all but the most heavily armoured ships with its high calibre gun. The ship also has two further guns amidships which are not exactly weak either. Not to mention the fact that it has anti-ship missiles as well as anti-air. This means that effectively, 48 of your aircraft will never make it off the ground, and you seem to have discounted the possibility that the crew might bother to reload the launchers. As for the anti-ship missiles, you'd better do a check up on your CIWSs, assuming your ships have them. In any case, despite these fearsome weapons, our destroyers are not our main offensive power, our submarines (some of the best in the world) fill that role. Just thought that I'd lay out some facts and dispel the crap that Malviner01 is putting about.

But for some reason HMS Dauntless has not been fitted with Phalanx - which is what you refer to and the ship is not carrying ANY anti ship missiles even though the Helicopters have been designed to carry them plus Stingray torpedoes which I assume the ship is carrying.
The Type 45 is however designed principally as a fleet defence platform and not as an offensive weapon - which is why I am puzzled about her being sent to the islands as she is entirely unsuitable for the role she is being expected to perform.

Ogara - indeed and of course if the Dauntless has to fire those missiles, which of course she never will as Argentina is making absolutely no threat of military action and is determined upon a peaceful and diplomatic solution to this problem - the ship is not carrying any spares so once they are fired the ship is effectively helpless and a sitting duck.
Feb 08th, 2012 - 06:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In the same way as the Typhoons are vulnerable in that they depend upon the runway at Mount Pleasant and if that is not there, well the only place the Typhoons can land - is in the sea. The only other runway at porto Stanley has been shortened and unless it is made suitable the Typhoons will not be able to use it as an alternative.
“The Type 45 is however designed principally as a fleet defence platform and not as an offensive weapon - which is why I am puzzled about her being sent to the islands as she is entirely unsuitable for the role she is being expected to perform”
Feb 08th, 2012 - 06:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is not. You just fail to see the defence strategy in place.
The ship is not the offensive weapon on the islands, The RN could for instance put a frigate there, and it would very quickly run out of missiles.
If there was an attack from Argentina it's quite easy to see what they would do to defend the islands. The Type 45 sits in-between the islands and Argentina, just off the islands coast. It's radar and anti air missiles cover the entire zone up to Argentina's coastline.
The typhoons are then free to make as many runs against the Argentine navy using anti ship missiles, without any worry from Argentine aircraft at all.
The ship is to keep the jets safe, not for offensive attacks itself.
plus the radar systems can track a golf ball over central europe from portsmouth (type 45's that is)
Feb 08th, 2012 - 06:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@cornishair - well that is very useful if tiger woods decides to launch an attack on it
Feb 08th, 2012 - 06:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0dreyfoss is 100% correct when he states that the islands are vulnerable to the runway being destroyed. It's easily the islands biggest weakness. Not only no jets - no attack power. But also no large jets to bring troops in form the UK.
Feb 08th, 2012 - 06:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is another of the reasons the T-45 is used to patrol the islands, and another why it's very suitable for the job.
The base is protected by SAM from the base itself. But this is not complete protection as they are shorter range missiles. The T-45 cover's the entire area and act's as a second layer of protection against aircraft for the Typhoons runway.
A frigate built for anti ship missions for example(our frigates) woukd not be able to do this job.

The Astor has an effective range of 30km maxed to 50km.
The Type 45 has a doppler but it falls off in frequency at 270kms and is pretty much useless beyond that.
The nearest airfields in Argentina are Rio Gallegos -over 600kms and Comodor Rivadavia - over 700kms - so the Type 45 will not be able to detect a launch and cannot track them if they come north around the islands using the land mass as a shield.

Great Britain's story is not the story of a power that goes around the world protecting small group of europeans out of europe in the name of the WORLD PEACE and JUSTICE. Let's put things as they are.
“The nearest airfields in Argentina are Rio Gallegos -over 600kms and Comodor Rivadavia - over 700kms - so the Type 45 will not be able to detect a launch and cannot track them if they come north around the islands using the land mass as a shield.”
Feb 08th, 2012 - 07:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Don't where you're getting your information from but firstly.
- The islands have ground based radar with range enough to detect take off from the mainland.
- The T-45's Radar system is effective to 400 km. and can track over 1000 targets.
The missiles the ship carry's range is 120 km.
“so the Type 45 will not be able to detect a launch”
The ship itself does not need to detect a launch. The ship's radar(and the land based one before that) will detect the planes well before they come within any form of range from the islands while they're mid air.
“and cannot track them if they come north around the islands”
Any planes coming in within range of those islands are going to be tracked well before they get near the islands. This point is proven by the fact that the typhoons regularly intercept Argentine air force planes coming to “test” the islands response times even to this day.

Feb 08th, 2012 - 07:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am in support of a peaceful resolution to a problem that will be to the satisfaction of Argentina, the Islanders and Britain.
I have said from the very beginning of this latest attempt to exploit the oil reserves around the islands might it inflame passions throughout the whole of South America and be seized upon by opportunistic politicians who will use it as a populist platform for their own ends. That appears to be happening now and the principle reason it is happening is that Britain has been much weakened from several decades of negligent governments - particularly the Blair regime - and that weakness can be seen and exploited.
The islanders still have a window of opportunity to negotiate themselves out of this mess and lose nothing but that window of opportunity will be closed shut within the next few months as Britain fails to win support for the islanders globally particularly from Europe and the USA - and even from within Britain itself. What will be the reaction of the british people to the sight of a handful of Islanders and Oil executives shoving gold into their pockets whilst the average Briton suffers in the worst recession of their history and is asked to pay for the defence of such wealth creation?
Once nationalist sentiment takes a hold of a people it is impossible to quench it and the real danger here is that this issue becomes an Anglo/Hispanic confrontation driven by nationalist sentiment.

We are the power that destroyed the Nazi''s, destroyed the Fascists, destroyed the Imperial Japs, destroyed Communism, destroyed the Kaiser's plan to dominate Europe, destroyed Napoleon's plan to control the world. Our national strategy, formulated by Halford MacKinder was premised on the survival of small nations as a check against the formation of the continental Empires that would have been formed by the above. Without us most nations in the world would never have existed. Argentina may never have existed. Britain helped Argentina become independent, the British helped build Argentina. Most of your roads, rail, ports and other infrastructure was built with the help of British engineers. people who settled in Argentina and became Argentinian.
We made one mistake after WW1, we allowed all the Nazi's to flee to Argentina after the war and we allowed the fascists Peron's to stay in power, the fascist Franco to stay in power in Spain, the fascist Salazar to stay in power in Portugal.
Unfortunately your friends the America's had other plans for South America, plans that required South American to become neo-fascist and support American corporations, plans that included Operation Condor and the liquidation of political dissidents, the forming of governments led by General, the assassination of anyone who stood in their way.

it is because the non-support to Northamerican's coorporations that you name in your comment that Peron has always been named fascist and many other things by the foreign corporative media.
Peron has even showed himself interested in negotiating the Malvinas sovereignty when the UK offered to do so (of course before 1982). I guess that doesn't have much to do with Franco or other european fascists.
You are mixing everything up.
And I don't like talking about countries like blocks where everybody acts and things the same way.

Be critic, do not buy what media sells you all the time.
You can argue all you like as to whether the Peron's were fascist, but Juan Perón himself admits where he got his ideas from, Mussolini! There is plenty of academic work out there on the subject, below is just a taste. The consensus is Peronism, is fascism. It defiantly uses nationalism and while embracing corporatism, uses socialism as a tool for uniting the country behind the dominating corporate forces. I say if it looks like fascism, acts like fascism and sounds like fascism, it is fascsim.

Students of fascism have long debated whether the Argentine dictatorship of Juan D. Peróon (1946–55) falls within the purview of their subject. A. F. K. Organski includes Perón's regime among his “syncratic,” or fascist, systems, along with Mussolini's Italy and Franco's Spain. Seymour Martin Lipset also classifies Peronism as fascist, but because of its working class appeal he treats it as a unique kind of “fascism of the left.” Other noted writers on fascism, such as Alan Cassels and Eugen Weber, also place Perón in the fascist camp. As for specialists on Argentine politics, José Luís Romero, George Blanksten, Arthur P. Whitaker, and Peter Smith all trace Perón's ideological inspiration back to Mussolini's Italy.
I do not love PERON, but the truth is that behind these arguments and relating him to fascism there are really not healthy/democratic/humanitarian intentions.
Feb 08th, 2012 - 08:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I do not support fascists, and apaprt from this I don't know why are we talking about Perón... CFK hasn't got so much to do with him...
This government is fighting the local corporations, the ones that were aliated to non-democratic governments in Argentina, this government we have today had supported same-sex marriages, democratic laws for the media, public education, investigated those crimes that had to do with killing dissidents that you were naming in your comment.
So if you don't like fascism I don't like it either...
The woman in the photograph in this article is talking about peace, about fair play at the international community, and has done a lot to support democracies in Latinamerca while the BBC or CNN where showing their back to attemps of Coup d'Etat in Honduras, Ecuador or Bolivia these last years.
So what don't you like about that?
Meanwhile the subtle propaganda machine has begun its psychological warfare: trotting around Latin America while misinforming the reality in Argentina today and the attempts to divide us. It will not work this time; Argentina is not alone.
Feb 08th, 2012 - 08:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The painful surprise for the ”emotionally sword rattling crowd” would be when they find out that both the UK and Argentina may need each other more than it is today openly admitted.
The UK’s policies supporters must stop their confrontational tactics; it is plain hogwash and a waste of time. Can you get this through your dense skull?
Threats (or perception of coercion) by both governments are just part of this preliminary “getting tough” period; but, eventually common sense and common interests must prevail; if that happens, then UK and Argentina will sit down and negotiate a mutually acceptable solution.
Trying to “outfox” each other will be part of the preliminary dialogue, but peaceful settlement will be measured in concrete political and economic terms. Present emotional posturing may be the preamble to the dialogue; but eventually it must be put aside.
To negotiate the “question of the Falkland-Malvinas” the UK and Argentina must concentrate on the ISSUES: The UK must be interested in more than just the respect for the right of the islanders; and Argentina in more than an immediate sovereignty. Argentine sovereignty over the Malvinas may not be the first … but it will be the “logical conclusion”. Think in terms of 100 years … or less.
The immediate and difficult questions to answer right now must be: what are the essential and practical steps that both parties may want to start with? What segments of both countries will benefit from these practical steps? Would it be about just the economic “bottom line” of the financial and large corporations? Etc., etc., etc.
Respectfully, your Argie friend.

Feb 08th, 2012 - 08:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Very long on rhetoric very short on substance, now she is going the raise the profile of the Islanders with the UN, having raised expectation at home.
Complete with a ritual cleansing of all Argintinians (Except the spurious Junta) of all responsibility for the 82 war, which they only gave “circumstantial support for”. And would not do so again, of course not.
Perhaps they will interrupt the debate on Syria to hear how the British have swapped one ship for another, and one helicopter pilot for another. While Argentina continues its policy of laying siege to the Islands.
Leave the Islander in peace, is the only peace required here.
Look, I know nothing is this simple...but, I do believe a simple solution is the best solution in these types of cases, to avoid a larger conflict. My solution is a vote, since I'm a big fan of democracy...have the citizens of the islands vote on “The islands should be part of the UK” or “The islands should be part of Argentina”. Whatever the outcome of the vote is determines the fate of the islands, for good. If the islanders feel they would be better off as part of Argentina, they'll vote for Argentina. If they feel they would be better off as part of the UK, they'll vote for the UK. Would this make sense?

Feb 08th, 2012 - 09:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Respect for the right of the Islanders is the ONLY primary issue. Everything else is just secondary.
It appears that you would want to enter into dialogue with the existing Argentine position that the only possible outcome is full sovereignty for Argentina (whether it occurs over 100 years or immediately is irrelevent).
Actually, the only logical outcome is to come up with a status of decolonisation that is acceptable to the UN. Even though many would argue that decolonisation has already taken place, it just doesn't fit the UN's current preconceived (and somewhat outdated) ideas of what it should look like. Thus, in the mind of the UN, there should be full independence for the Falkland Islands or some form of free association with the UK. Simply transferring the administration from the UK to Argentina would not be acceptable, as you would be making the relationship more colonial rather than less. I guess another possible option would be free association with Argentina, but that is never going to happen because the Islanders wouldn't want it (no consent form the inhabitants = no free association). So, there are no viable options that involve Argentina.
Now, if you want dialogue (rather than a negociation with only one extremely unfeasible outcome), then that is another matter. There are lots of things to talk about there regarding better cooperation on the environment, commerce, transport, etc. Just don't bring up sovereignty, or everything is off the table again.
Perhaps one day the British, the Argentines and the Falkland Islanders can forgive one another for the past and resolve to be the best of friends into the future and achieve lasting friendship through acts of kindness and goodwill to one another? I certainly hope so. Perhaps the UN will one day grow in stature and the UN International Court of Justice may be accepted by all parties as the right way to settle disputes?

Feb 08th, 2012 - 10:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No. Not at all.
I did and still do fret about the consequences of misguided nationalism by any party which could lead to actual confrontation; furthermore intentional widening of the conflict between the two countries to cause a serious escalation between supranational blocks, which then spins out of control. Some commentators seemed to welcome such a wider escalation of the disagreement. I do not. To me such escalation would have negative consequences, perhaps like those I fear; probably no
Thus conscious decision to pursue Argentine-Anglo détente is the most rationale and desirable political choice I think
I firmly believe there is no moral justification for the use of nuclear weapons in war, since -if one is to follow Thomas Aquinas thesis of possible grounds for a 'just war' and the associated concepts of necessity, distinction, proportionality - then the use of nuclear weapons by any belligerent offends these moral concepts as do many military acts like the fire bombing of cities, as happened in world war two and the USA's defeat of Japan. Their use stemmed from a form of 'moral' argument was to end a wasteful and destructive war sooner and thus ultimately save more lives, but at the terrible cost of the death and horrible injury of many innocents
Ideally, nuclear states would voluntarily disarm. However, unfortunately they do not trust one another, fear proliferation and thus retain these nightmare weapons for the illusional value of 'deterrence'
Maybe one day all of humankind can unite and discard the old rivalries and care for one another truly?! It's a nice thought and a worthy aim
Before then, I'd hope the British, the Argentines and the Falkland Islanders can find a way to reach out to each other and replace their mutual hostility and distrust, with respect, trust, cooperation and friendship!
It's a choice worth serious consideration from time to time. Perhaps one day, this good choice will be made. Live in hope they say

Feb 08th, 2012 - 10:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Domingo - that is exactly what happened in 1850, when Argentina and the UK agreed that ”existing differences” between the countries had been settled and confirmed that “perfect friendship” between the countries had been restored. This disagreement between us was settled 162 years ago to the satisfaction of all parties. It was Argentina that then decided to go back on their agreement 90 years later in the 1940's and start claiming some imaginary right to our islands. Check out the official history in the state records.
Whatever has happened has happened. There are always two sides to every story, and in this case, three sides!
Feb 08th, 2012 - 11:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No-one can change the past, but we can change the future. I think it's time people forgave one another and resolved to be friends.

Perhaps they could sing a duet?:
“What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there
What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word”

We cannot advance with just dialogues; since Argentine Independence from Spain we have had plenty of dialogues. If the United Kingdom doesn’t want to negotiate this topic, I believe that Argentina cannot deal with the other themes. Of course we are very interested in economic cooperation and communication, but for Argentina, without settling the question of sovereignty, these are just peripheral issues with only slight relevance to Argentina legitimate claim of sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands.

We don’t know if the British submarines are (just) nuclear-powered or carry nuclear warheads and that is what bothers us. We have it quite clear in our heads that we have no interest in militarizing the region, never mind nuclear weaponry. We are thus evaluating whether this British threat is bringing nuclear arms to South America.
And that we are sending thetype 45 to babysit William :-)))))))
If HMS Dauntless is coming to guarantee the safety of Prince William and his retinue, let them (the British) rest assured that within the framework of the international treaties making us responsible for emergency assistance in the South Atlantic, we would have rushed up our naval units to answer any mayday from the prince. They would have saved thousands of pounds sterling and generated less tension in the region.
fakland island company is free and will always be free to determine on their own if they will go back to UK or become Argentine's simple, UK is right there is nothing to discuse next war we should either deport them to UK or relocate them all around Argentine labour camps as USA and UK does to illegal aliens, choosing confrontation over dialog for the illegal aliens is a mad move, considering the Argentine track record on human rights this confrontation is suicidal, I love it finally I might get the chance to legally shoot a brit. Personally I believe that all this problm can be solved with a single hydrogen bomb over our Islas Malvinas Argentina, USA and UK killed over 10.000 Muslims and UN doesn't even care chances are that 3000 unruly british illegal aliens won't be missed by anyone but UK. this would be an excellent time to buld a nuclear defence program to protect Argentina from the nuclear submarine threat in LatinAmerica, closing UK embassy would send the smoke signal to the world about the nuclear threat in the area.

He needs to show Argentina as a colonialist aggressive power to put more money on defense, to mix things up, to make everything unclear, to justify colonialism.
Cameron is barking but CFK is quiet, and Argentina will go on claiming in PEACE, even if the UN is not a %100 democratic Institution and the Security Council structure is unfair, even if the foreign media corporations go on selling lies to people about Argentina's intentions...
The right-wingers from London supporting the GRABBING of natural resources and the military presence in this side of the world, the same who make money with wars, the same who sent armies to Afghanistan on the name of the “World Security”, the same ones that were ok with all those arab dictators before the Arab Spring happened.
For the islanders: stop buying lies from the British Government. Argentinian's government is not expressing any kind of xenophobia, has no intentions to take any kelper away, the islands are considered part of Argentina by Argentinians even if the UK seized them; and there is no intention to treat it like an Overseas Territory or a colony or a minor area.
The Argentinians want to defend from colonialism, from a threaten that comes from far away on the North and has to do with grabbing of natural resources and with a warrior empire that has shown many times its dislike for human rights and its unlimited hunger for consuming resources that does not own.
Southamerica is reach in natural resources, and these hungry little groups of hungry men running corporations know it, they don't care about the kelpers, they just want the resources.

I would hope that if you were there you got gut-shot and end up crying on the beach trying to push your lower intestines back into the wound. You'll probably call for your mom or dad at some stage, don't worry a lot of wounded soldiers do. Thats how much fun war really is.
@fermin look at prat hunters comment then wonder why we are concerned about the safety of the islanders.
I bet you want to be defended from your enemies and I bet you want self determination to choose who's flag and laws you live under. You constantly deny the Falklanders those rights, a facsist position.
You're own countries bleating about our the deployment of units to protect the falklands from the likes of prat hunter are boring..........

Just how mixed up are you?

Maywell be sent to you in the spring,
At 200,000 tons, it will fit your whole navy into its grounds,

“Our former colonial masters, the British, used to be renowned for their terrifying navy, which would obliterate rival fleets and bombard barbarian cities from the sea in order to pave the way for colonial conquest. Unfortunately, the Brits are stone cold broke now, having spent all their Pounds Sterling on booze, and so their navy sucks”

of course, UK have many nuclear weapon, so they can keep stealing lands and killing people. that's what they've allways done
Feb 12th, 2012 - 03:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0@206 What lands have we stolen recently? In terms of raising a flag and saying “this is now Great British territory”?

HMS Astute is now operational, She recently carried out cruise missile test firing exercises in the gulf of mexico.

The sea is chock full of hazards. A USN sub hit an uncharted seamont a couple of years ago. Par for the course. It goes with training. Your own fleet does'nt do a many sea miles as ours, so your fleet must be suffering from a lack of practice.
Great Britain is right, despite the catastrophic and moronic defence cuts the RNs attack subs are still our trump card, and they do often win in exercises against the USN.
HMS Astute is an extremely potent unit. Underestimate her at your peril. She could easily destroy an Argentine task force on her own, then hit mainland Argentina with missiles. I hope that has wiped the smug smirk from your face.

@192 Fermin and @206 Cero,
Feb 12th, 2012 - 01:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Proposition 1: The UK and Argentina are at a diplomatic impasse on the Falklands/Malvinas. It's politically suicidal for an Argentinian leader to renounce that claim, and politically lucrative to play upon it; and it's equally politically suicidal for a UK leader to surrender the islands, following the 1982 war.
Proposition 2: Ms Kirchner is attempting to starve out the Falklands via a blockade of trading vessels http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16980747
Proposition 3: The British forces themselves in the Falklands are not about to invade Argentina, nor have they made any hostile action against Argentinian shipping or interests.
Proposition 4: The “militarization” claims rest of substituting one new ship for one old ship, the presence of the prince in a search-and-rescue helicopter (and I still fail to see how this is a problem or threat), and the rumour of a sub (as if anyone doubted that British subs wander through the south Atlantic anyway).
Query: What are you complaining about?
206 Cero ,if democracy gave in to you bunch of theives, where would it end,
Feb 12th, 2012 - 02:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the falklands are on a bigger list of aquasisions that argentina has already drawn up,ready to claim,
so dont give us this crap abt the british,
argentina wants her ownempire and colonys, and all you bad argies that back this, are as guilty as her,
and if that time ever comes and you inact violence, then you will have no complaint , will you .
@210 Doesn't take a retard to open any Argentinian history book and see that in their search for 'lebensraum' they wanted to carve up Paraguay in 1860's . Nor can one forget the Beagle Conflict in 1978 where they 'decolonised' some islands from Chile. Those Chilean pirates!!!!

I do find it all very funny, if this an embarrassment to Argentina then I don't know what is.
Feb 13th, 2012 - 07:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Replacing a warship that has been on duty constantly for 30 years with another one and making accusations about a nuclear submarine being in the area whilst simultaneously asking for its position (which really is saying you don't know where it is) is pretty damn funny.
Honestly sometimes you simply could not make-up that level of lunacy.
as for the wider world, if they wish to bury democracy to support Argentina, then these same fools have no complaint when Argentina and others start to look their way, you cannot give away a democracy to a dictator, its as simple as that .
Feb 13th, 2012 - 07:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This kind of political imbecility on behalf of the North Koreans, sorry, Argentinian government is worrying. Even worse is the fact the nation seems to be full of brain dead-folk who lap it all up.
Feb 13th, 2012 - 09:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I guess that's the issue with dealing with authoritarian governments like North Korea, sorry, Argentina.
She is a clever woman

And she now playing this game as the victim,
Waiting for the bully to attack, then cry foul, get support from everyone, and poor old Britain gets condemned as an imperialist power,
But their may be another way,
By fighting their fire, with our water .
