May 08th, 2012 - 06:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Weak.
May 08th, 2012 - 06:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A strong statement would have been:
“It was a very inappropriate advertisment and we reject it categorically and distance ourselves from the government of Argentina's official policy.”
“Furthermore, as we try to distance Argentine sport and athletes from corruption and politicism, we want to be consistent and reject such values at the local and international level. Therefore, we have decided not to participate in the upcomming Summer Olympiad due to the politicism, corruption, and lack of transparency of the governing body of the event, the IOC, and the organizers who have yet to disclose how they won the bidding process. We hope for understanding in the matter and call on the IOC and the Argentine government to work on cleaning up their standards before Argentine athletes compete again”.

Great work freedom of speech trumps UK dictatorship. And just to be clear the Argentine trained in Islas Malvinas Argentine not fakland island corporations. In any case a corporations can't dictated laws or rules in Argentina. If they try they will end up like YPF, Too bad the OIC is getting into international politics.

Free the Trolls , Trolls right to self determination free Guzz and Toby and Pirate Chappy....i am taking this the UN.
I don't get trolled by Argtards. It's better to just say to an Argtard “you cannot troll me, I've got a get out of troll free card” and then they get really really angry and try to start a fight, but then they FAIL, because they're just utterly sh!t. They typically then roll around on the floor a bit with their bright orange hair and dress.

To make a long story short:
May 08th, 2012 - 06:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0CFK does not understand how to really annoy the Brits. She is annoying them, but in short bursts, as she is also placing Argentina in a silly chair by some of the antics.
A smart government would simply refuse to support the UK in any of their initiatives. Trade? Humanitarian appeal? UN vote? Bilateral accords? Ocean cooperation? Argentina should always vote no.
In the end that is what will really incense the UK gov. An Argentina that forgets about the Falklands and stops the tantrums about it, an Argentina that even perhaps accepts the self-determination of the Falklanders, but an Argentina that at every turn, in every other area or matter, sticks it up to the UK government.
Because what governments like the UK adore most of all is to be seen as leaders, as governments that can rally others around them. Not being able to do so is a source of great anger and resentment, and Argentina should play that card, soft, quiet, but pertinacious nettling.

That sounds like good advice to me. Ignore the Falklands and snub the UK. Sounds like a win win win situation. We get left in peace, the UK doesn't have to waste any more time facing slow Argentine full tosses outside the off stump and Argentina regresses further into its self-induced isolation.
I think there will be some incidents in London if Argentina goes (which is should not attend).
May 08th, 2012 - 07:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Maybe not officially, but individual spectators displaying a banner, or a crowd chorus, maybe even an invasion of a pitch, from either side really. I think they will not succeed in completely removing the Falklands issue from the games. It just depends how much it mars the games. Remember Beijing in 08 and the days before the games and the controversy there. Or Atlanta in 96 with the bombing, or the 1980 and 19843 olympics with the boycotts, or Munich and the massacre.
Go ahead and deal with us like you did YPF. We had dealing in the same way with Shell,co....THe brits railways,the telco,insurance and banks....uk DI nothing..poor deluded ex empire
May 08th, 2012 - 07:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yeah I was just about to say the same thing. The British railways in Argentina. Malvinero beat me to it. Peron took them, and the UK took it too, with silence. In an age when using military power to make others pay debts was much more acceptable.
May 08th, 2012 - 07:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Joe, it would be nice. Isolation is much better than having bad friends who are enemies in disguise.
You have to understand this AOC chairman's position. Argentine governments have a history of quietly disposing of people who disagree with them. During the last Junta, they would drop dissenters from helicopters into the River Plate. Some dictators would send out murder squads and the dead bodies would be collected in the morning.
May 08th, 2012 - 07:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Gerardo Werthein is just trying to avoid being dropped out of a helicopter during the next Coup d'etat. It's really tough for rich people in Argentina, because you become the target of the administration when they need some funding. So if Gerardo Werthein does not toe the party line, his body might be found floating down the River Plate.
No wonder the Falkland Islanders shun Argentina. Who would want to be part of a country where you stand a reasonable chance of not surviving the next the change of administration?!
Being British, the Falkland Islanders have virtually no crime. So Fernando Zylberberg was able to run down the streets without the fear of being mugged for his trainers. But you can be sure that after this fake apology by the AOC chairman, the Argentine Olympic team will not be made welcome. If they try any Falklands stunt during the opening ceremony, then they will be the first Olympic team to be booed out of the stadium.

May 08th, 2012 - 08:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Really? Let’s examine the results of Argentina in the diplomatic arena shall we?
1. Argentina takes accusations of the UK militarising the South Atlantic to the UN. Argentine claims are instantly dismissed. Result....nothing.
2. Argentina insists SA solidarity for claim to the Falklands will be supported by numerous SA leaders attending commemoration ceremony in Ushuaia, nobody turns up. Result....nothing.
3. Argentina insists OAS will release statement supporting their claim to the Falkland’s. No such statement is released and CFK runs back to Argentina. Result....one stolen oil company.
So, apart from refusing to support humanitarian appeals (I love that one by the way. It puts you up there with Alicia “not everybody can have self determination” Castro and Hector “I'm a Fuckwit” Timerman) and the other nonsensical rubbish you spouted, how exactly do you think Argentina is capable of 'sticking it to the UK government'? Go on, do tell!

Just because an Argentine man ran a penal colony (which had nothing to do with Argentina) for two months in 1833 does not make it yours. The Falklands are further from Argentina that Britain is from Luxembourg. Also , Britain owned most of France for centuries. In the case of Calais and Normandy, they have spent just as much of their history under British rule as under French rule. France is also on the same continental shelf as Britain. If we go by Argentine logic, Britain should own over half of France. Does that sound logical? No. Does that sound ridiculous? Yes. Just as Argentina's claim over the Falklands is completely and utterly ridiculous.

May 08th, 2012 - 09:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Unlike the Argentine, the UK does not use “rent a mob” like your “ civilized country”. The Argentine's actions are regarded as “flea bites” - a nuisance but not worth getting bothered about. If you wish to go isolationist, a good part of the world will say amen to that. You can say no to everything the UK government proposes - it matters not a whit ! Water off a duck's back.
The security at the Olympic games is an anti-terrorist precaution. There are some really nasty people out there - even worse than the Argies.- who would like to make a political gesture on the world stage.
I am sure that any Argentinian who wants to attend the games as a spectator or competitor and does not try to make political points in the stadium will be welcome. If they want to demonstrate outside their Embassy, it will probably be allowed provided it is peaceful.
As it has been said “ad naseum”, the average Brit. does not talk about the Falklands. Yes, it has been in the news because of the 30th anniversary of the conflict but the reaction has been - “are the Argies at it again?” - oh dear, what a pity, never mind
In a way, I can understand your frustration because all you can do is rant and rave and post derogatory comments which are returned in Spades.
As it is 2215, I will bid all a fond goodnight from.................................................

Hey Werthein and Argentina - free speech for your athletes was NOT the biggest problem with that video. Nope! It was the deceitful conniving to do it without the knowledge, consent and cooperation of the host community - the Falkland Islanders. Your deceitful actions just reflect what any domineering country and culture has done before. Virtually all of our countries are guilty of doing it in our histories - but yours is here and now.
May 08th, 2012 - 10:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It wouldn't have bothered Falkland Islanders if the Argie sport-squad had come over and worked with FI folks transparently to do something that could be seen as some sign of a cooperative, collaborative venture. If Argies had been open and hadn't slighted the Falklands WWI memorial, but rather gone out to run around the Argentine cemetery in Darwin (http://g.co/maps/wh3aa), probably been a bit of a brownie point for the Argentines. But no - was not to be and probably the Argie video-makers didn't even give it any thought - although would be interesting to know more about how decisions got mad on that one.
Interesting as an aside that the Werthein family only arrived in Argentina from Russia in 1904, while some Falklands families can trace back FI ancestors way before that. However, as the article concludes with statement that Werthein is a “...very rich Argentine Jewish family with interests in finance, insurance, agriculture and communications and is known to have political aspirations.” Also, several members of Werthein family have been active in the Argentine-Israel Chamber of Commerce (http://g.co/maps/wh3aa), and we know now that Israel supported Argentina, apparently because Israeli PM Begin hated the British (remember his role as British-soldier killing Irgun terrorist in 19444-48?)
http://g.co/maps/wh3aa),
So did Werthein family also have a role in getting Israeli weapons to Argentina in 1982?

May 08th, 2012 - 11:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's rather an obvious point but Article 1 of the Treaty of Tlatelolco states:
1. The contracting parties undertake to use exclusively for peaceful purposes the nuclear material and facilities which are under their jurisdiction, and to prohibit and prevent in their respective territories; (a) The testing, use, manufacture, production, or acquisition by any means whatsoever of any nuclear weapons, by the parties themselves, directly or indirectly, on behalf of anyone else or in any other way.
So in your scenario Argentina would once again break international law and introduce nuclear weapons into Latin America. You would then no doubt march yourself to the UN and accuse yourself of militarising the South Atlantic to which you would deny all accusations and bleat on about how the evil British usurpers made you do it. On top of that you would then test an 'H bomb' on the Falklands simultaneously ridding them of their inhabitants and making any future habitation impossible. Brilliant!

“The Terror Trade features an exclusive interview with ”Eric“, an international arms dealer who tells with chilling detachment of underground plutonium buyers gathering at a Sudanese hotel ”so full of people, it was like a flea market.“ He also states in the program that Argentina has had an atomic bomb since 1983, and identifies various countries involved in nuclear black market trading. Israel, Libya, Argentina, South Africa, Iran, Iraq, Syria, India, Pakistan and Brazil - countries which appear to see possession of nuclear weapons as essential to guaranteeing their national security - have sought black market materials.”
Out of all the suspected nuclear states, Argentina has always been been pointed as one of the ones most likely to have done it. Why I'm not sure.

#33 irrelevant rant. What Europeans do or stops doing to each other is none of America's concern. Let alone Islas Malvinas Argentina. You are talking europe I am talking southamerica.
#35 we are civilized, we made a video you guys are starting a nuclear arms race in southamerica. We rather be isolated then dealing with blood thirsty warmongers from Libya, this is why we now make tv for national consumption and other people envy it so much that they come here to ventilate their anger. I don't like to see nude people on tv, but I change the channel. I don't blame UKistan when the remote runs out of battery. Chillax loosers.

#36 they being richer then Even UK when they can have the biggest british ship at their disposal. You got to love the brutish tax system and their austerity measures. Ummmmmmhmm! European freedom for all at monkeymagoon expense. Hip hip hurray!
#37 I am not the kind that would beat you am all up for pushing dirt over your grave. And I don't work for lacampora but I do admire them for their support to CFK, I make money on shows you probably enjoyed. Chuckle. Chuckle.
#39 isolation can build true independence and you are welcome.
#40 you should pick up a newspaper more often. I didn't hear of austerity in Argentina yet but did from europe, a nuclear defense program doesn't take much now days when people will do anything to eat Argentine beef in North Korea, Iran or China.
#41 if UK, NATO, Libya, iraq, Palestine, afghanistan and fakland have a problem I think they should get together and fix it themselves.
God, can you imagine Argies with nuclear weapons? It sounds like the start of a mutant/zombie apocalypse film. One of their technicians would probably use a nuclear rod to stir his Yerba Mate.
May 09th, 2012 - 02:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well the question should not if Argentina could have, had, or has nukes. The question is why Britain and France still have them.
May 09th, 2012 - 02:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0I hate to tell you so bluntly, but no one in the world of 2012 wants to nuke you guys, you are just not that important. The Russians, Chinese and USA want to nuke each other in any case, not Les Rosbifs or the Frogs. And the terrorists also would not bother with a dirty bomb in Europe, they can use conventional bombs there. They will only try to sneak such a device to their mortal enemy, which is the USA.
So... why do the UK and France have nukes? There is no imminent geopolitical reason (a) as established above. And logistically there isn't one either, as the USA has enough nukes to “protect” both France and the UK in any event.
So no geopolitical reason (option “A”), no logistical reason (option “B”)... The only remaining option is “C” for both countries, and the most obvious one
Penis insecurity.
Want a good laugh and see such lies and plain wacky weirdness, read the Russia Today article by Adrian Salbuchi, 'Politics darkens the 2012 London Olympics': http://rt.com/news/politics-darkens-london-olympics-813/
May 09th, 2012 - 02:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0Salbuchi side-steps the inconvenient truth that Argentina invaded the Falklands on 2 April 1982, and he goes on to see hidden designs of Zionism in the London Olympics...
Salbuchi is an Argentine politician-journalist who seems to believe that the surrender of the Argie military junta on 14 June led to a Treaty of Versailles situation - with Argentina in the lamentable position of Nazi Germany. Tsk, tsk...
Isn't Young and Rubicom a USA agency? They were the ones who did it. Or am I missing something here?

Hence, his comments are worthless.

May 09th, 2012 - 11:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0There was a load bloody faries,
In Buenos bloody Aries,
With greasy hair and sweaty bums,
They'd never heard of Bonningtons,
It were a different culture and a different race,
No chippies in bloody place.
You can keep that poof Fartiles,
'Cos we're going to have your Malvines.
Hey up, hey up, hey up, hey up.
Well, they got us back son, without a doubt,
Time to sort them bastards out,
Costa Mendes lives in fear
Of real men who can hold their beer.
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/buenos-aries-lyrics-macc-lads.html ]
Sing hey hey hey the lads are on their way,
With their bayonets and their tommy guns
And their bellies full of Boddingtons.
Hey up, hey up, hey up, hey up. Whoo!
Get in there my son, let's set up a couple of pubs.
Let the bitter flow, nuke 'em till they glow...
Hey up, hey up, hey up, hey up.
Fray Bentos and cheap red wine is all they eat in the Argentine,
But after a scrap with the English Navy,
They'll ask for the recipe for chips and gravy.
Sing hey, hey, hey, the lads are on their way,
With their bayonets and their tommy guns,
And their bellies full of Boddingtons.

I bet that is what will happen
80- Plenty more RG twists along the way, it will all end up being our fault. Love it to see how far the humiliated RG government twists and squirms in hatred of UK. I actually like a drop of Malbec, and love corned beef sarnies (but with pickle)
May 09th, 2012 - 12:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@2 For once I agree with you. All argie scum should steer well clear of Britain. They are most likely to drown as the people of Britain show their “appreciation” for argturdland's activities. Either that or look forward to spending a few weeks in immigration, customs or police detention. EVERY honest Briton will be looking for ANY reason to lock ANY argie up and lose the keys for a few weeks. Then the British government could make millions by offering tours and the opportunity to spit and pee into their cells.
May 09th, 2012 - 12:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@4 How could it be argieland? There was no sign of “homes” made from corrugated tin, hijacked utility supplies, open sewers, turds in the street. And I couldn't see any queer except the argie “athlete”. The bit with the steps was interesting. But Sylvester Stallone did it better!
@5 What would you know about women or indigenous rights? But I understand your interest in dental care. I gather that cannibalism is becoming very popular in South America. Is this your new means of making people “disappear”?
@8 Excellent idea. Go for it.
@11 Another excellent idea. Send us details of all your doped “competitors”.
@12 Of course you wouldn't. It would be at your level.
@14 AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
@16 Missiles up argie arses. Real (crowd) control.
@22 You've never had any heroes, dead or alive. Argie heroes in the Falkland Islands? They'd be the ones (11,313) that surrendered, wouldn't they?
@31 Funny little boy. How are you going to fine someone who can just fly away? But go for it and watch Maximo's toy become a real domestic burden. When it won't be allowed to land anywhere except argturdland. And even if were allowed to land, have you any idea of the landing fees you would have to pay?
@46 That's not a nuclear defence programme. It's a nuclear offense programme. Didn't you sign and ratify a treaty banning such things? I imagine ALL your neighbours will less than happy. They'll probably invade just to destroy your toys.
