Argentine radicals planned to ‘capture” Falklands’ conflict vessel in Montevideo

Mar 28th, 2012 - 05:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Top tip - The USS George H W Bush would probably be more useful if you can manage to pinch it. Worth a try - go for it.
“Piracy is an act of robbery or criminal violence at sea. The term can include acts committed on land, in the air, or in other major bodies of water or on a shore.” Stealing a whole vessel is definitely piracy.
Mar 28th, 2012 - 05:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So according to the Argies we “pirated” an entire archipelago and the best they can do in return is pirate a clapped out old rustheap. Poor sods - they just can't do anything right.

Brits are not pirates for the Falklands, which are rightfully yours, you are pirates because you ARE pirates! LOL
It may not be long before this extremist group starts blowing things up.

Mar 28th, 2012 - 06:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just because they felt they once owned this boat, they feel it's perfectly in their rights for them to steal it in the name of Argentina. Their motivation and reason for doing so is because they want it. Then it's lauded in their news as they cause damage to the vessel through graffiti.
An entire country of criminals, who should never be trusted. FACT.
What would the Uruguayans have done if it had been taken i wonder?

the south americans need to get together, without RG Land, and decide what they are going to do about their out of control tantrum child of a neighbour before they destabalise the whole continent.
i wonder if the president is still in control of the country or if it is about to degenerate into anarchy sometime soon.

I had lunch with an Argentine friend today and we had a healthy debate about The Falklands issue, why they wants to 'celebrate' losing a war, raging inflation and endemic corruption. (She had some amazing stories of corruption in Buenos Aires). At the end of the lunch we agreed to disagree about The Falklands but I had rattled her thinking on the matter and she said, “Ah, you make me think too much”. lol.

This boat is an Argentine war hero and you will be laughing other side when it is recaptured from Uruguayan traitors to Argentina. It will have its true identity restored and it will fly Argentine flag, it is a flag which we all love so much and like to die for.
When it is captured, our war veterans will sail it to Malvinas and claim what is rightfully ours by grace of God and Papal Bull 1496!
Your colonial pirates will be given the choice go home or be exterminated! We will occupy your farms and take back our land!
You think Argentina is a third world country but we are a fanatical nation, a strong macho nation, we are stronger than you and we believe in God and know that God believe in us. Which is why he given us Malvinas in 1496.
These islands were ours before even our nation exist. You think you can laugh at us for being stupido? The Malvinas are what we all live for and this is what you do not understand. We would die for these islands, they belong to Terra del Fuego Province since 1823, a gift from god.
@Yes, I like isolationism, and I think the world would LOVE our isolationism. Perfect arrangement for everyone.

Mar 29th, 2012 - 09:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Capital flight issue is not with the Argentinian money, they're worried about companies that have invested in Argentina from taking their money out of Argentina. Thankfully they do this through selling any kind of bond that is still traded outside of the borders, but they have to do this at a premium. U$200 Billion in offshore accounts is a bit of an overstatement if you honestly think Argies actually have that much (they don't). The fact no one in Argentina even wants to go near a peso, and would rather have dollars (or hotels in maximo's case), is secondary.
Face facts, Argentina is an economically and morally derelect
This is a much more serious issue. The poor Argentines find their country crippled by subversive groups on a day-to-day basis. The 50 peso and one sandwich protestors (that’s their pay, may have gone up now due to 25% per year inflation) are generally rallied by government activists, who bring them into the capital and around the country by bus and use them as a militant army to snarl up traffic, etc, etc. These groups have been known to be armed and there has already been a recent shooting last year. Once again, Argentina is a country divided by those that have - BAD PEOPLE - and those who have not - GOOD PEOPLE or that is what the very rich and very corrupt BLACK QUEEN lip sinks. The slimy Kirchners would not have the bottle to go to war, but they will spark diplomatic incidents via proxies and the SI - that's their game plan. They plan ‘civillian’ flotillas leaving from the South and one radical group thinks they might kidnap a British soldier – we watch these buggers. They should be warned – our SS will hunt you down should you hurt a British subject. We are not talking Argentines here people we are talking left wing loonies and the misguided ‘security service’ now run by an ex-terrorist (maybe) supporter – YES.

“El diario La Nación citando fuentes oficiales dice que el gobierno estima que son unos U$S 150.000 millones, mientras que Clarín los cuantifica en U$S 123.700 millones. En verdad no se trata sólo de dinero colocado en el exterior sino dinero que después de la crisis financiera del 2001-2002 los ahorristas no lo pusieron el circuito bancario y esta en el país.”
This was in 2010, probably another 20-30 billion wince then added to that amount, which is the 180-200 billion figure I gave.

“On top of what they have stashed away locally, Argentines are estimated to keep another US$150 billion in savings abroad.”

Mar 29th, 2012 - 06:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh I get it, they weren't even going to steal the ship. They were intending to squat on it and shout 'ARGENTINA!' and 'MALVINAS!' lots of times. It's really quite sad.
Mar 29th, 2012 - 06:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In all seriousness Alexei, most of us don't care about the Falklands. We don't care about the UK since it really has no influence in South America, you don't make cars, or have a world famous cuisine, you don't have a lot of fashion brands either, and your music (rock mainly) which was your great forte is now downhill, and electronica is no-name/no-face and the artists are not dominated from any one nation but are worldwide.
Mar 29th, 2012 - 06:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So if my country could stop the tantrums about those islands, everything would be Ok. You would forget about us, we would forget about you. Neither country needs each other for anything anyhow.
@65 British people don't buy argie goods. You are being conned. You ship it and CFK says it was paid for. How would you know? We don't buy argie sh*te!

@88 Fine, your opinion of the state of the British economy, British industry and popular culture doesn't interest us one jot. We don't give a **** about Argentina either. So go away, leave the Falkland Islanders in peace and we'll say no more about it. What's your problem anyway? Why the urge to steal yet more territory? Argentina not big enough for you? Massive inferiority complex? Need more lebensraum? Malvinists psychology is intriguing, quite perplexing, though ultimately they're just ****ing irritating.
Mar 29th, 2012 - 07:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Remember, down south, the real south, the communities are quite small and English is spoken widely by many who have British ancestry. My points are indeed factual, the loony left inspired and paid by the Kirchners are planning all sorts of silliness. I told you in the past about submersibles capable of firing torpedoes at British shipping – all true – me, I am just a civilian these days, but I hear much from the Prefectores and from those who are asked for logistical support. The Black Queen enjoys less than 50% support and most people who are both educated and reasonable have no problem with the Brits. You need to be informed and less scathing about the people of Argentina and focus on their corrupt and pitiful leaders. And, our own - Cameron and that overgrown baby foreign secretary are a disaster. Where's a Maggie when you need one. Britain go to Europe - demonstrate why ARG should be sanctioned by Europe, lobby these blighters out of the Gs. They are corrupt, they lie, they cheat, thaey do not pay what they owe - 'Government' not people.
Mar 30th, 2012 - 10:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0@92 bigron It is sad that we tend to tar the entire Argentine population with the same brush.
Mar 30th, 2012 - 01:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's rare we hear voices of reason from Argentina. It was refreshing to read the more considered and better informed opinions of a group of Argentine intellectuals recently, though they were unfortunately subsequently abused and threatend by the regime. Obviously there are good and bad people everywhere.
However, we can contrast the state indoctrination and nationalist brainwashing of Argentine schoolchildren with the balanced and informed education received by British children. Therein lies the problem, as demonstrated by products of the Argentinean educational system who post irrational nonsense here. Worryingly the posters here are, judging by their rudimentary grasp of english, among the better educated (Argentinean education having been reported as among the worst in the developed world).
This is quite disturbing actual footage of compulsory Malvinist indoctrination at an Argentine school: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EJeM6ifRbA
Compare that with the type of material used in British schools: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EJeM6ifRbA
It's hard to see how we can expect to peacefully resolve this situation in the face of irrational hysteria inculcated by nationalist indoctrination of generation after generation of Argentine children.

Mar 30th, 2012 - 02:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is very wearing to be constantly called 'liars', 'pirats', 'morons', and all the rest by people who are demonstrably uneducated in whatever language they choose to use. You are a rare exception.
I have to admit to not reading most of the items because they all degenerate to a slanging match about who did / did not do what, years ago.
The Argentinians (Malvanistas) are utterly incapable of grasping the sovereignty issue, nevermind we had to chuck them out of the Falklands (there are no Malvinas) in 1982, thereby (using the we won it back - we keep it now) proving our right to own them from that point on.
It does seem that many of your government members act both slyly and childlessly even on the world stage to the complete detriment of their country: but they do not seem to know this.
If things carry on as they are I shall simply stop posting on many of the articles: it just is not worth the bother of dealing with idiots like 'Think' who never does, and TTT who never tells the truth.
It's really ironic that Argentines call the the British pirates, but like seriously, look at what they do.

Pleeeeease capture that ship, fill it with ALL your fellow guys, and sail to the FI. Hopefully they´ll get lost over there and we´ll never hear a word from them anymore.
Probably easier than trying to 'raise the Belgrano' - although 'steal the Audax II!' doesn't really have the same ring and Hollywood appeal.

like those who like the Malvinas belong to Argentina .. IF YOU WANT TO BE BRITISH? andate to EUROPE, the question is so simple ... or another solution would be a missile to the islands and the islanders die .. and inhabit the Argentine English total of europe wants to live on the islands of shit ...

I thought the point was to make the islands belong to the islanders, and not England... i guess i got it wrong. I just read the news in the NYTimes and it made it look like the Argies continue to claim rights of ownership, but the situation is that the Falklanders would have a right to self-govern, so i guess that leaves England out of it? not sure what else is there to claim by Britain.... For us in the rest of the world, it's actually easier to understand both the inslanders and the Argies position, not clear on the UK's....
