Feb 18th, 2012 - 12:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0Is it ok with Argentina if an American comes to visit us, will it be provocative, or will you just cry, that you are losing backing as each day goes by,
The islanders will give a great British welcome and a great impression, and hopefully this man , will tell the American government [or the new one[]
Just how bad you nasty Argies have been treating them,
Either way, that good news for the islanders good news for the British, and bad news for the Argentinean,
mmmm
.
@1 Looks quite provocative from where I'm standing and it's definitely insensitive to Argentinian territorial integrity which covers the whole of the South Atlantic seabed and all of Antarctica. Maybe someone should quickly swim to Tierra del Fuego to beg to let him come visit.

No flipper hes an American Congressman, much more powerful then any American official you have had visit argentine recently. He can basically turn the united states congress in favour of the islanders. Which would mean the USA fully backing the islanders.

Feb 18th, 2012 - 07:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0Brewing up Falklands tensions could be mistake for Argentina
Rhetorical gales from Argentina are again battering the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic.
Argentina invaded the undefended atoll in 1982, claimed sovereignty as the Malvinas, but after a few months, was sent reeling back when a British Naval task force sailed from 8,000 miles away to dislodge the invaders. This was conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's “finest hour” on the foreign policy front. In Buenos Aires, the ensuing debacle toppled the Argentine dictatorship.
Naturally the possibility of massive undersea petroleum reserves makes the Malvinas far more interesting to an Argentine government in fiscal and economic shambles. A bountiful and beautiful country, sadly Argentina has endured the bane of bad leadership. President Christina Fernandez Kirchner was quoted in the Buenos Aires Herald relating to the economy, “I'd like to ask every sector of the economy to touch ground and live in the real Argentina and not in a fantasy land. This is not Disneyland.”
There is nothing so powerful in Anglo-Saxon mythology as the story of the underdog; the 'little guy who fought against the odds' Here is a classic case 3000 versus 40 million. The little guy who just wants to get on with his life but keeps on being bullied by a mentally unbalanced bigger neighbour.
Feb 18th, 2012 - 09:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0I remember reading an article just after the Falklands war about the American attitude to Britain and it could not have been more positive. Every now and again America re-falls in love with Britain or aspects of it;the 'Swinging sixties and the age of the Beatles 'was one.The aftermath of the Falklands War was another.
Here was stuffy old Britain (clean cut Anglo) doing something which the American military experts had said was impossible; sending a task force 8000 to protect a small vulnerable British population and liberate them from some nasty Hispanic bad guys.It was the formula that Clint Eastwood used time and time again to make his fortune .
I feel another such time might be coming along helped , funnily enough, by Sean Penn ,who no doubt intended the opposite. The bloggers in the US media sites are in no doubt where their loyalties lie.If I gave the odds at 95% to 5 % in favour of the Falklanders I would be overstating the support for Argentina.
Another good aspect of this visit is that ALL American oilmen are Republicans.
I found a video of the Kirchener Youth League and the League of Peronist Maidens doing a dance in support of annexation of the Falkland Islands here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNDAFegkdkA)

Feb 18th, 2012 - 01:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As Argentina continues to raises the profile of this “so called” dispute, they raise the profile of the Islanders and the truth of the matter becomes clear for all to see.
Feb 18th, 2012 - 01:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Only countries with a political “axe to grind” support Argentina, then only so far (except Hugo of course).
CFK has done more to discredit the Argie claim than anyone since Galteri.
As her policies have a clearly detrimental affect in the world on the Argie claim, it is obvious it is done to distract from problems in Argentina.
Sad how many Argies fall for this. However this does explain why Argentina has never even come close to developing to its full potential.
Also why it never will, condemmed always to be a Banana Republic.
@19 I was going to make a joke then about her being condemmed to shop at Banana Republic, but then I remembered that she only shops at Christian Louboutin and using Pesos of course.

@6 “whole of south america will be united under Argentine leadership.” You jest. Let's look at argieland's track record. (1) Gladly accepts nazi war criminals. (2) Murders up to 30,000 of its own population. (3) Wrecks its own economy. (4) Invades another country's territory in cowardly and underhand fashion, precipitates a war and gets defeated. Such wonderful qualifications for leadership. Don't let us stop you, argies. This is a wonderful way in which to create a repeat of (4). Consider this. In 1982, the U.S. Navy said that re-taking the Falkland Islands was impossible. Meaning that the U.S. reckoned that they couldn't do it. Britain did it.
Feb 19th, 2012 - 02:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Let's tot up the scores:
Argie navy -v- Royal Navy 0 - 3
Argie air force -v- Royal Air Force/Navy 0 - 50
Argie army -v- British Army 326/1068/11318 - 258/775/115
Note this. The argie navy had no effect on the Royal Navy.
The argie air force had no effect on Royal Navy and Royal Air Force aircraft.
British Army losses outmatched argie losses to an incredible degree. Kill ration - 1.3 argies to each Brit. Wound ration - 1.4 argies to each Brit. POW ratio - 98+ argies to each Brit. The important consideration on land was that British forces had to attack prepared and fortified positions. Another is that argie artillery was deliberately placed between houses in Stanley. Forget the RN and Merchant Navy losses. But not the men. How difficult to hit something 410 foot long by 50 foot wide? And how many times did they miss? But why shouldn't the MoD be blamed for aluminium superstructures and polyester uniforms. Argies didn't really destroy ships or kill men. The MoD did that.
Go for argie leadership and die! Mind you, same can be said for Chavez leadership. Bottom line? Two SAS (or SBS) bullets and South America is FINISHED!
Argentina's claim to the Falkland Islands is dependent on TWO dates - 1493, the date Pope Alexander VI issued the papal bull (Inter caetera) that gifted South America to Spain in feudal investment, and 1824 the date when Luis Vernet (a German national) took a party of British expats with him to the Falkland Islands with the approval of the United Provinces of the River Plate and the British Ambassador of Buenos Aires giving them “fishing rights”. The Vernet mission lasted a few days before it failed. Subsequent attempts at establishing a settlement by him would also fail. Vernet was expelled from the islands by the US Navy for “piracy”. His replacement, as governor was hung drawn and quarted by his own men (mostly British expats) who mutinied. Within a few years the British would establish a permanent settlement of the islands that had been claimed by Britain since 1711. Argentina's claim on the Falkland Islands predates Argentina's existance as a country (indeed it would be over another 50 years before the souther tip of Argentina was incorporated into what is modern day Argentina). This claim was later officially surrended by the Argentine government in 1850 but resurrected by Juan Peron in the 1930's, when the country adopted the national socialist policies of nationalism and territorial expansion of Mussolini's fascist Italy which had so impressed Peron (Peronism). Today's government of Cristina Kirchner is re-enacting the Peron dynasty and their policies of corporatism and nationalism known as Peronism, which is such a hallmark of Argentina.

Wonder who has the most influence in politics. On the left, I give you Sean Penn the one and only wife beating coke-snorting Muppet. On the right, I give you the one and only Republican Congressman F. Jim Sensenbrenner.
Yes folks it’s a knockout in the first round as Congressman F. Jim Sensenbrenner lands the one and only punch in the match which leaves the Argentine corner in tears……… Mrs Plastic faced Cristina Fernandez was said to be in tears last night, her reaction was one of utter devastation and has told her Government officials to get her the next best thing no matter how much money it cost in bribes. Obama was said to be irritated when Hector Timerman handed over a suitcase full of $s in full view of the US Presidents staff. He was overheard saying to Michelle, I knew they were all balm pots down there but never in my wildest dreams could I have anticipated this. David Cameron who was having dinner with Obama at the time said now you know what we British have to put up with.
@32 Argentinians are incapable of mentioning 1850. Even mentioning 1850 is like apostasy for them, unable to blame other people and claim victimhood.

Now I know you are a long way away but I have taken the liberty on your behalf and I have shown many of your comments over the last year to one of my good friends who works in mental health in my local hospital.
And what he has to say about you does not bode well. I am afraid to say that he says that you must go at once to the nearest mental health institute and book yourself into it where you will get the very best treatment available.
He showed your comments to his students who are very concerned about the state of your mind, one young student ran out crying that she had never seen anyone more delusional as you, that was until he showed more comments written by Filippo, Fido Dido, Raul, Helber Galarga.
She then ran back in and shouted fuck me silly with a banana it seems the whole country is full of them. Her mentor then showed her what the president had said and what Sean Penn had said and she ran around the room shouting let’s get down there guys we can have a field day with these people.
She was so excited , we had to let her down very gently and we told her that there was nothing we could do for the poor people in Argentina and that they were all born this way. She then said but , but Penn wasn't born in Argentina, we said we know but sadly the very best psychiatrists in America could not sort out his brain has Madonna had fucked it up good and proper.
@43 You shouldn't mock Margot. He...errr she......errr it can't help it. Don't you know that 50% of argies are transsexual? And the other half are queer! Does this not explain a great deal?

@69 “With regard to the text relating to the Third International decade, the UK stated that the UK considered the ”Special Committee of 24” to be outdated.

That won't be under Ban Ki-moon, because he simply doesn't have a clue (Saudi Arabian sponsored UN Religious Tolerance Conference).
