May 02nd, 2012 - 05:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yakety yak yak ! Nobody believes a word. Argentinian utmost respect means having a rifle pointed at your head or being held prisoner in a building without facilities for over a month.(Oh no! It wasnt us guv it was the junta or maybe the Martians.)
May 02nd, 2012 - 06:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0The only thing Argentina is good at is bullying, lying and stealing from other people.Maybe Puricelli is going to point at the new buildings on the islands as the top secret nuclear missile base.
What a bunch of no hopers . Nobody in the real outside world takes them seriously; not even their Latam brothers who are all trying to have good relations with Britain while paying lip service to Malvinas solidarity. They thanked Spain for the solidarity it showed.
When are the Argies ever going to grow up past the 6 year old tantrum stage? Never it seems !

They were flying supersonic aircraft against a subsonic air defence fighter (one they rejected to buy in the 60s) and there were only 20 Sea Harriers defending the entire fleet. Was his 10 to 1 numerical superiority too much of a disadvantage for him??????????

How wrong! It was the British not the English. Welsh, Scots, Northern Irish and lets not forget our friends the Gurkas!
How wrong! Argentine Super-entendards could do twice the speed of a Harrier. all the latest weaponry was at Argentina's fingertips.
Puricelli also said that Argentina has “the utmost respect for the Islanders which continue as hostages and condemned to isolation because of the UK stance”.
What a joke! Argentine aggression, embargoes, legal threats cause the islanders grief. The Islanders must be laughing their socks off. Hostages that are free to travel the world, hostages that can send their children to Britain's universities!
I cannot believe my ears, Puricelli must have the IQ of a weasal to believe this twaddle. Is their entire parliament of the same mindset? It's all a diversionary game to keep the public from noticing that country is deteriorating.

May 02nd, 2012 - 09:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0Just a thought...but regardless of the rights and wrongs how does celebrating the 30th anniversary of an aggressive military act fit in with “give peace a chance”? Oh...it doesn't. It's a shame that they have chosen to glorify war when they could easily instead have chosen to focus on the 100th anniversary of the air force.
And is the word irony understood in Latin America? A good example is a politician standing in front of a military parade celebrating a military attack and then complaining about “militarization” by the state they are celebrating attacking.
Is it even possible to imagine the rabid howls of outrage from Kirchner and Timerman if the UK held a naval parade to celebrate the sinking of the Belgrano, or a parade of the RAF to celebrate their first actions in the conflict, let alone if a British minister had the temerity to speak at the event criticising Argentina? These are after all people who can take offence in using the words “a profound wrong” to describe an illegal and globally condemned invasion by a military junta best known for killing 30,000 of its own people. These are people who describe a search and rescue pilot as a conquistador!
There has been no act of hostility from the UK. There have been no blockades, no military parades, no harassment of fishing vessels, no threats of court action, no childish insults from the UK government.
Please understand that even the whole “give peace a chance” childishness from Kirchner, Timerman and Castro has really sinister overtones. There is peace. This is like a Mafioso standing outside a business commenting loudly on the combustibility of the building and asking the owner for a little chat.
Guzz...if you believe in peace you surely have to condemn the nationalist rabble rousing in Argentina, whatever the rights and wrongs of the situation. This is the truly hostile rhetoric that is leading to bombs outside offices, to businesses being attacked and riots in the streets.

If so, the standard of argentinian politicians is even lower than I thought!
May 02nd, 2012 - 10:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0@18 As an Uruguayan, I very much prefer our president and his way of dealing with the Malvinas, rather than make a political issue of it. Even so, I can't take away the Argentines rights to decide for themselves (and don't give me the crap that the Malvinas are self-determinating, only you britons believe in that, make them a free nation if you want to convince anyone). Why are you sending militaries and HMS Lookatme to the islands if you think there is peace?
May 02nd, 2012 - 10:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0Many, many nations worldwide agrees with Argentina in her claims, so far I haven't heard many non-british voices defending British claims.
Heck, you did the same to the Irish, got a chunk of their country and pointed fingers at them when they tried to claim it back...
I am happy to confirm that as a “hostage” I am protected by a full suite of Human Rights legislation and a robust legal system, and that I can travel freely wherever I want whenever I want. I haven't been to Argentina since 1980 and wouldn't go there because I would fear for my personal safety.

May 02nd, 2012 - 11:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0My dear Guzz...why the anger? Why the hostility? Why the potty mouth? Why didn't you just answer my question - why is an Argentinian politician celebrating an act of war, when Argentina is claiming to talk peace?
Sorry if you mistook my point on irony as a dig...british humour...not a dig at you. You have to admit it is pretty funny standing in front of a bunch of soldier's and complaining about another country's militarization.
Why have you jumped onto self determination, Ireland, global support...surely these are irrelevant to your points on relative hostility of the UK and Argentina? I was trying not to address the right and wrong of the Falklands, but the right and wrong of how the UK government and Argentinian governments are behaving. We can discuss those issues if you like but let's keep to the behaviour of the Argentinian and UK governments for now.
I agree with you entirely that the behaviour of the Uruguayan government is much better in international relations than Argentina. The trade delegation to the Falklands can only be commended, as can the recent cargo flight. You are right to contrast this mature behaviour to the childish hostility of Argentina turning ships away, banning charter flights etc.
It is reasonable to bring up HMS Dauntless. This is merely a routine replacement for HMS Montrose: the UK government went to great lengths to downplay the deployment. There has been a ship of destroyer/frigate class down by the Falklands for 30 years: this is no different from the Uruguayan military protecting the borders. Funny how when the UK had the option of her setting sale on the 30th anniversary the task force setting sail, but chose not to. She sailed with no fanfare, no political speeches, no hostility...just as it should be.
Interestingly on her way down to the South Atlantic she is helping train friends of the UK in anti-piracy operations in Gambia, Senegal and Morocco: the fight against piracy is something we can all agree is good.

@26
May 02nd, 2012 - 11:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0Richfe, I reread my post and I'm sure I wasn't being hostile at no point...
Personally, I mistrust military by nature, as those scum... persons are responsible for our naations to have to had live through almost 2 decades of injustices (Malvinas wars being one of them, you think they sent their own sons to die?). So I don't agree on ANY form for celebrations when it comes to that moral forsaken camouflage green outfit, even Chavez gives me the creeps when wearing it... And no, I don't see any point in celebrating anything else than the dead young men that rather had been somewhere else than on those islands fighting a pointless war.
If you check up on Argentinas military you'll find out that the last thing you can call them is being militarized.
Regarding the British humour, I do agree you have a quite amusing sense of the same, and the dry sarcasm does make me laugh, in a good way, mind...
For the same reasons as I mistrust our own military, I obviously mistrust foreign military and their purposes, as I don't see the need of rattling with arms, as well as I despise it.
Finally, on the matter of the pirates, it is becoming an issue in western media, although I don't think the real issue is increasing, just the focus on it, but yes, piracy is a good thing to fight against...
@27 We all know Guzz is an Argentinian. You can tell by the way he tells lies all the time. I just ignore him, because let's face it, he's a tit.

I find it hard to believe that you are from Uruguay 'cos of all the malvanista crap you spout, but if you are, why do you believe with such conviction the Argentine sovereignty claims to the Falklands? The same Argentina who also has erronous claims to parts of Uruguay? If Argentina has lied regarding claims to your country, isn't it possible that they are lying in their claims to the Falklands?
May 02nd, 2012 - 01:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yet you've heard the Argentine side, and agree with it, but when the actual people who live on the islands put their case forward you refuse to believe them. Don't they have the right to determine their own future?
If you believe that the Falklanders are being held 'hostage' by the British, why don't you visit the Falklands and see the truth for yourself?
You won't of course, because then you'll see for yourself how the Falklanders are an independent people, with a clear vision for their own future.
As for their being troops on the Islands, it's for the DEFENCE of the Islands and the Islanders, and they wish those troops to stay. Their choice, not Argentina's.
We all know from bitter experience that Argentine promises are worthless, and they may promise today not to invade the islands, but tomorrow they would invade, dispossessing the Islanders of their property, liberty, culture and possible their lives.
You may distrust the military where you live, but in Britain we trust our military to defend our freedoms, homes and our lives, and that is EXACTLY what they are doing in the Falklands.
As for your post @33 - The Islands are British as long as the Islanders wish to remain so. HMS Dautless is a Type 45 destroyer so doesn't carry aircraft, but it is exceptionally good at shooting down aircraft and missiles better than any other type of vessel in the world, and she is down their to ensure that the Argentinians don't steal the Falklanders oil.
Unlike Argentina, the British have laws that we ABIDE by, and don't change when it's politically expedient.
You have to admit that Putrid Jelly is funny. Let's take a look at what he says. “the support of the countries, especially from Latin America, will help Argentina achieve its aim of recovering sovereignty over the Islands, which is important because of its resources”. Part distortion, part truth. The Islands were, without doubt, British for 55 years before “argies” ever got there and stayed, illegally and intermittently, over 13 years. But it is about the argie attempt to steal the resources.
May 02nd, 2012 - 02:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“The (Argentine) Armed Forces were sent to a certain defeat, and the air instrument proved it had transport capacity but not combat force” The argies mobilised FOUR naval task forces, 66,000 ground troops and over 100 combat aircraft. Facing “certain defeat” by 70 Royal Marines, 1 nuclear-powered submarine using a WW2-vintage torpedo, 10,000 British ground troops and 20 subsonic combat aircraft. So now we know. The WHOLE of South America couldn't defeat Britain.
“Without any doubt the war was a serious retreat in our sovereignty rights over the Islands” No, sonny, it was THE END. There are no “hostages” on the Falkland Islands. The Islands, together with South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, are British because the inhabitants want it that way. They realise that their population is too small to resist a belligerent, greedy neighbour. There will be NO change unless the Islanders wish it. And your actions reinforce that every day.
Oh, and “militarisation”? Who caused and reinforces the need for a British military presence? In 1981, the British military presence on the Falkland Islands consisted of approximately 40 Royal Marines (the Governor's ceremonial guard) and the Antarctic patrol and research vessel, HMS Endurance. Wonder why that has had to change?
But the argies will never use military force against the Falklands again. That's right. Because you won't get the chance!
@38 I suspect they will use military force again. They'll have to in order to keep their dignity in tact when the Front for Tyranny and their militant wing have completely @r53-r@ped everyone in Argentina and are ready to jet off to switzerland to spend their Reich's Bullion.

(3) the Argentine forces had not behaved like school bullies toward the islanders,
(4) the junta leaders had used some common sense in caring for their conscripts,
they might have stood a chance of getting the Falklands
The Falklanders still have bitter memories
they may have had a better claim to the islands
@63Ozgood,
May 03rd, 2012 - 10:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0ln my personal opinion, one of the driving forces that launched the British fleet was the fact that the Argentines forced our surrendered Marines to lay down on the ground, took photographs of them, then sent them around the world.
They just couldn't help themselves. They had to crow.
l'd have done the same or worse to their troops when THEY surrendered in June 82.
except we are better than them.
May 03rd, 2012 - 03:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Quite frankly bullying half trained half starved consripts isn'treally done.
their officers begged to keep their handguns for self defence.

Puricelli said, “Argentina has the utmost respect for the Islanders which continue as hostages and condemned to isolation because of the UK stance.”

#15 Great points. One of the main reasons I like Cristina is tht she unites Thatcherites and Galtieri lovers against herself =)

May 03rd, 2012 - 11:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well l don't consider myself either of those but l still don't like her.
She is a warmonger.
A documentary about Nazi Argentina, on a discussion group the Argentine posters were quote “disapointed” that Argentina was still a military dicatorship. However you people are still fanatical nationalists with ambitions to add the entire South Atlantic and Antartica to your territorial aquisitions. next step will be Chile and Uraguay and they know it. Which is why we have so much support from the people of those nations.

May 04th, 2012 - 02:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0Former Argentine President, Néstor Carlos Kirchner, craved cocaine and cars, farted uncontrollably due to his vegetarian diet and was injected with semen from young bulls to keep up with his sexually active wife, Cristina Fernández, according to a rarely seen and historic cache documents discovered at the Casa Rosada and set for public auction next week.
The documents include the original 47-page classified report of President Kirchner, craved cocaine and cars, farted uncontrollably due to his vegetarian diet and was injected with semen from young bulls to keep up with his sexually active wife, Cristina Fernández, according to a rarely seen and historic cache documents discovered at the Casa Rosada and set for public auction next week.
The documents include the original 47-page classified report of the former president’s health culled from post-mortem interviews with his six chief doctors and that include diaries of what he heard Kirchner said, such as, “Blair and Bush are monkeys.”
The Kirchner cache, which is up for sale May 8-9 at Alexander Historical Auctions, a well-known seller of historical items.
The classified doctor’s report includes several extensive details about his health. Panagopulos said it quotes Kirchner doctor Theodore Morrell confirming that Nestor and Cristina had sex though they slept in separate beds and that he was injected with semen from young bulls to spark his libido. Under the section “Sex Characteristics,” the classified report said:
Panagopulos said the report also notes that Nestor “suffered from uncontrollable flatulence” due to his veggie diet, something the Argentine leader took pills for.
The longer report from Giesing noted Nestor’s cocaine use to clear his sinuses and that the doctor had to cut the dosage because the father of the “Malvinas Solution” craved it because it made him happy.
It is so clear: the characters and ideologies supporting the presence of British military forces in South Atlantic Ocean are the same ones that supported the crazy idea that it was needed to invade Afgahanistan or Irak after having supported those regimes they had supported before, the same ones that build the idea of the villains and the heroes when it comes to international conflicts, the ones that never care about SELF-DETERMINATION when it comes to letting countries decide for their own what they want to do.
May 04th, 2012 - 03:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0Those supporting invasion of Asian countries with “security” and “democratic” purposes are the ones supporting the british Government today. The Pentagon (because it is not even Obama supporting them) and the military industrial businessmen for example.
SELF-DETERMINATION is a clear excuse for those who didn't even care about their own citizens. A complete and HILARIOUS lie.
With invasions, colonialism, grabbing of natural resources and veto powers at the UN this world is not gonna get better.
fermin, you're talking complete rubbish, how did all those nations become independence in the 1960's etc if we weren't “allowing them” to be independent? You need to pay more attention to the newspapers, it's argentina that's becoming an international pariah at the moment, not the UK. Irrelevant of our mistakes of the past, you clearly are the dicks of the future, wear your badge with pride.

@73B_K,
May 04th, 2012 - 08:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0What do you call her actions against us, if not warmongering?
Of course she is a warmonger.
She is frustrated because she can't invade our lslands.
lf she could, she would.
lf the British military packed up & went home tomorrow, how long do you think it would be before the first Argentine units arrived?
l'll give you a clue,
the stern would still be visible of the last British ship.
Shes a sabre-rattling warmonger, who is frustrated & angry because she can't bluff us.
lts as simple as that.
#80 I just don't buy that I'm afraid, I think she wouldn't even invade if she had a big army, because she has a good heart and a modern mind, but also the whole “if she wasn't an anti-militarist at home THEN she'd be a warmonger abroad” line is just a bit too hypothetical to be serious really

Argentina is a product of colonialism, conquered by the sword, most of the natives killed and infected by disease, their land taken from them and worked by imported African slaves, oversean by imported European colonials. The African's who made up 50% of the population would themselves completely disapear from Argentina between 1850-1900 in what could have been a chilling fore runner to the disareances of the Dirty War in the 1970's when an estimated 30,000 Argentines were raped, tortured and murdered, many more were held illegally in detention camps and tortured. The true figure for the dead could be as high as 100,000, no one knows because there is little official documentation and most bodies were dumped in the sea.
May 08th, 2012 - 02:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina took land from its neighbours in numberous wars , civil wars and land grabs - Paraguay, Uraguay, Chile. Today Argentina despite the changed political landscape is still a nation characterised by uber nationalism. The claim to the Falklands was surendered in 1850 but reserected in 1941 by a fascist junta, which inc Peron, they thought their friends the Nazi were going to win the war, the Falklands looked easy picking.
In 1982 Argentina was under the latest succession of a series of fascism military junta's. Their hold on power was looking precarious, in deperation they sort a war, Chile looked like a good victim, they already claimed lots of land and were ignoring the international tribunals that had ruled in Chile's favor. But then they changed their mind and invaded the Falklands. Today the war is romanticized by a nation ruled by a kind of cross between a Neo-Nazi uber nationalist and a Charvesta Revolutionary uber Marxist. The only thing missing is the land reform. Maybe that's for later? But as few natives remain, maybe they'll just ignore their rights... God knows they always have. An entire culture replaced by a European one. Entire languages destroyed.
Timmerman should take time to read about his country's history.
