    Mr Moreira expresses himself in a very mature, diplomatic and even handed way.
    There can be no complaints from either the UK or Argentina about the way the Chilean Government conducts itself.

    Seems nothing changes, Argentina has a history of granting asylum to the scum of the earth. What Chile should do now is to wait in the wings for Argentina to make the mistake that they will do one day and invade the Falkland Islands. In that event they will be well placed to come over the border and take over and run the corrupt Government of Argentina.

    So much for support from CHile and peru lol. Now what were we saying to argentina about their so called support from latin american nations, as it seems only chevez is willing to really support them, and we all know the USA would jump at the chance to have a reason to take on chavez and invade his country LMAO.

    Apparently Fidel Castro supports Argentina but he doesn't agree with Old Zipper Neck that the single destroyer deployed by UK amounts to much of a military threat.

    Chavez and Castro - just the people you want on side in a diplomatic dispute.

    When will CFK be lauding the support of Mugabe, Kim Jong Un and Afterdinnerjacket?

    Yep, to think that Chile would give any kind of meaningful support to Argentina over the Falklands when Chile has to deal with Peru's and Bolivia's claims over the northern Chilean coast...is laughable. Pinera is actually a pretty smart guy and he'll do what's in Chile's best interest, which won't be to support the queen of collagen.

    Chile is no friend of Argentina sooner we accept this better. Only good Chilian is dead Chilian.

    Most are criminals and Mulatto's. Drug smuggling is Chilian policy to destroy our nation. They must be made part of Argentina they will join Malvinas. This is their destiny. It will start with forced occupation of all Terra del Fugo. Those Chilians removed can live South Gerogia we be kind and let all pirates live there behind big wire mesh.

    As a proud Brit we should ensure we bring nations like Brazil, Chile, Peru, Uruguay etc to our side. Once we obliterate Argentina, then us Brits can occupy that country. It will give us a foothold and then we can easily take over Uruguay and its banks. Then we bomb Chile to the stone age and take their copper, and from there on to Peru.

    The Chileans, Uruguayans, and Peruvians shall be grateful as we can run their countries better than they can themselves. We are better than them South Americans in every respect. Cheers.

    CFK the new Eva Peron? Well, I can see the analagy when you consider how EP sold the country out, had lots of nice clothes and shoes and bamboozled the poor people into thinking she worked for them!

    Why do the ordinary people of Argentina fall for these shysters time after time?

    My research proves that Britain has had a continuous claim to Argentina since 1806. It is as relevant as the Argentine claim over the Falkland Islands and I propose the UK government take it to the UN.

    I propose an economic and shipping blockade by Latin America, Royal Navy harassment of Argentine shipping, the suspension of air links and constant ratcheting up of the rhetoric and tension, followed by a claim that Argentina is militarising itself in defence. And a call on the UN Security Council to take action against them.

    There we go. I am sure you can see our claim is as relevant as theirs!

    (7) It´s curios but in Chile some guys thinks the same about argentinians and I guess that is for thinking that all argentinians say the same stupid things that you post. And in case that your idea is to invade Tierra del fuego, just do it, but remember that this is not the Chile of the 78 and don´t complain the consequences.

    #5 between the two they have over 60 years as the head of states standing upright to the worlds murderers pirates and thieves, while mercopress goes out of the way to interview a europid leaching in Chile and to top it all up we have hundreds of morons who think some leach holds any credibility, give us a break, last time I hear Chile linched Salvador Allende with the help of the CIA and UK protected pinochet right to the end, He was even collecting money as a senator until a few years ago, I guess not all military junta's are meassured with the same rod, the Argentine junta is used as an excuse to justify the illegal occupation of Islas Malvinas Argentina by british illegal aliens.

    @17

    You really post some rubbish. You're really claiming that the islanders are still there because of the Junta?

    The big difference between the abhorrent Chilean Junta (I am glad it's gone) and yours is that yours decided to go to war against us, and the following CFK govt is still pursuing their war-aims: conquest of the Falklands and sudjugation of the islanders.

    This is Argentine islands and Argentine oil, being drilled by colonial pirates, protect by pirate ships, sooner all destroyed better.

    Clearly, Malvinas is Argentine, claim exist since before Argentina exist. This is well documented that we renounce claim in 1850 but claim was resurrected under Peron who traveled to Italy and adopted policies of Mussolini fascist party in order to make Argentina great nation that it became.

    As part of expanded living space, we must continue this policy and we must take over Terra del Fuego and Beagle Channel and then Malvinas.

    My grandfather while working for Intelligence visit Indonesia in 1976 to copy plans they used for invasion of Portuguese East Timor and removal of colonial population to be copied in invasion of Malvinas.

    If we had copied these plans our invasion would be success and like East Timor is part of Indonesia, Malvinas would now be part of Argentina. World has very short memory.

    In order to do good for our country we must do bad things. This is what my grandfather always says.

    We know Malvinas never been under Argentine sovereignty but gifted to us by Papal Bull in 1496. No one can argue with Pope or God, that whole of South America given by him to Spain.

    Go home colonial pirates w claim you land before our country exist, you can not argue with that. You live there almost 200 years illegally, you have no rights. We will own your homes, farms, businesses, oil and fish.

    You will be made to speak Spanish, drive on right, obey our laws, live under our government and governor. In return we give you right to be reborn like our national hero James Peck.

    James Peck is son of Malvinas War traitor Terry Peck, he was awarded MBE for helping British occupy our land. Unlike his father, James is brave, patriot, his father will be turning in his grave.

    You can all be reborn like James Peck. Or you can die like Terry Peck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
