    I know that is exactly what I thought.

    Pathetic. No serious country would enter into a “preeptive” war anyhow, much less on a fabricated dossier and evidence. It matters not anyhow, I can discern for myself if my countries policies are responsible or not.

    I think you'll find that “Not a responsible power” is a euphemism for “tedious backward craphole”. It's British politeness at work, we're famed for it. *Sips tea*. As for being lectured on fabricated dossiers and evidence - you might have a stronger position if your entire history wasn't jam-packed with the stuff, which you then insidiously use to brainwash generations of your kids.

    Yeah, this coming from you? Claiming self-determination when you evicted natives from some islands in the 1970s?

    (I never brought the Chagos issue up till now, because I wasn't informed upon it. I have read multiple sources and is is indisputable that there were people living on those islands, very simple lives, but there nontheless), and the UK didn't give a damn about their culture or their future generations.

    Get out of my sight, to be honest British politeness is laughable. It is code for “we want to be seen as gentlemen even though we are utter turds”.

    No one believes it.

    Oh joy, the Chagos Excuse is wheeled out, yet again: “Britain did it 40 years ago so why can't we do it now?” pout, sulk. Taking aside the fact that the circumstances were completely different, in the 70s you were 'helping' people out of planes - do you think the “Oh the Argies used to do it” excuse would cut it in 2012? You'll still be pointlessly clinging onto things that happened decades and centuries ago while your country goes down the crapper in the present.

    The 1970s is within the lifetime of all the evicted inhabitants denied a voice about their homeland and culture (which was also destroyed).

    Er different circumstances like the small fact that after the closure of the copra plantations the islands were uninhabitable, with no food and no sources of fresh water. Yes it's a shame they had to be removed but preferable to death, wouldn't you say?

    Luckily Britain only deported them to Mauritius. If your country had been running the place they would probably have been “disappeared”... Silly, ill-informed Argie.

    Copra plantation? The inhabitants of the Chagos had resided there, enisled people, for over a century. They needed no plantations to survive. Spartan lives, yes, but who are we to judge.

    Anyway, I am not going to pursue the issue further. I'm trying to move past dredging peripheral topics.

    The main point is, what a British foreign minister thinks of Argentina is as moliminous in world affairs as lighting a match on the surface of th sun.

    So because they were “taken” there that means they have no rights. So I guess all black men and women in the New World have no rights, neither do the Indian (Asian indians) taken to the Caribbean, etc, etc.

    And the Falklands were also uninhabited. They are barely habitable. 3,000 people after 300 years is pathetic. I submit they should be made pristine again (which will never happen, since the British exterminated the Falkland Island's fox, a unique mammal species).

    Does the word hypocrisy exist in British RP?? Perhaps it is only in American english borrowed via Mexico.

    @magnum Simian TIT - on the theasuarus again!!!

    I believe that any post made that may try to illustrate that the Uk is an honorable country/Gov. is because of the too and fro banter from both sides. if there was no issue with the Falklands, i dont think any of the Brit/Islanders would waste their energy trying to sell you any idea of Britain being honorable because there would be no reason to!

    BTW, What is it with your over flowery language?? - its a relatively new thing for you to do this, which to me suggests you are trying to prove something (either to yourself or others)! But what does it go to show/prove! You trying to up your ego? you think that by using a theasuarus or dictionary, that others will bow to you mastery of the english language?

    Sad! i pity those who have to put up with you on a daily bases, then again, i guess you dont get many guests in your ward (you ever read Once Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest?)!

    Diego Garcia and Malvinas, What Do They Have in Common?
    Answer: Their local population were illegally expelled by the same country.

    The Chagossians were offered no recourse to self-determination. Dispossesed of their homes and their means of livelihood, the democratic choice offered to the Chagossians was to become slum-dwellers on the Mauritius mainland. For the inconvenience of having to accommodate these refugees, the government of Maurituis was compensated with the princely sum of three million pounds.

    Argentines on national humiliation day are celebrating their parents love of holocaust and lebensraum, by lecturing a UN committee on their desperation for Anschluß by robbing nearby fledgling nations of their freedoms.

    They're then going to have a presentation on how little Argentina has benefited the world at large, and then let some of their native population starve to death.

    “WHO IS HE TO CALL ARGENTINE IRRESPONSIBLE????”

    I believe he's a British Foreign Minister - the article was fairly explicit

    “WHY IS ENGLAND MILITARIZING THE FALKLANDS BY SENDING NUCLEAR MISSILES SUBMARINES TO FALKLANDS TO BE WITHIN RANGE OF MY HOME?”

    It's not. A nuclear powered submarine is different from a nuclear armed submarine. The Falklands have a comparatively small defense force to deter future aggression. If you recall it was invaded. If Argentina is not planning a second invasion, why would you concern yourself about the military forces in the Falklands?

    “WHY IS THE BRITISH MINISTER OF DEFENSE IN MALVINAS? HIS PRESENCE AT VICTORY CEREMONY IS MILITARISING THE ENTIRE REGION AND THIS WILL BE PRESENTED WITH ALL OTHER FACTS LIKE THIS TO COMMITTEE C24!”

    A defense minister isn't a military asset. I refer you to my previous comment regarding militarisation. Does Argentina not have a military in the “region”?

    As for your claim to Argentine “truths” - its a matter of perspective as to whether Argentine assertions are historically accurate.

    “IT IS TIME FOR ENGLAND TO REALIZE IT LOST WAR AND FOR ALL PEOPLE OF MALVINAS TO BE BORN AGAIN AS ARGENTINE LIKE HERO JAMES PECK WHO IS TRUE PATRIOT NOT LIKE HIS FATHER WHO FOUGHT WITH THE BRITISH!!!! OR GO HOME TO ENGLAND!!!!!!!”

    We don't disagree, we fully support the people of the Falklands in determining that for themselves. The will do so in a referendum. As far as I understand they are already home, in the Falklands. That is as ridiculous as telling you to go home to Spain.

    Today they celebrate their liberation and remeber those gave their lives for it.
    Contrast what would have happened had we won:
    The island would now be called the Malvinas.
    The indiginous populace would have been ethnicaly cleansed.
    The implanted population would speak Spanish.
    They would drive on the right.
    Argentine troops would be Garrisoning Puerto Argentina.

    Do you understand the differnce between “hunter killer” nuclear submarines, SSN in NATO terminology, and Trident missile submarines, SSBN in NATO terminology?

    If any UK nuclear submarines are in the South Atlantic, these will be SSNs. SSN's don't carry nuclear missiles - their role is anti-submarine, anti-ship and also precision land attack using Tomahawk cruise missiles.

    There is no need to send Trident submarines, SSBNs, to the South Atlantic: the range of these missiles is about 12,000 km, which the missile covers at about 21,000 kph.

    If you are referring to 1833, the local population of the Falkland Islands were not illegally expelled in 1833. Try looking up the history, or if you don't agree, reference a source that says otherwise-and if you wish I will provide you with a sourced reference that backs up what I say. The illegal United Provinces of the River Plate criminals were expelled (later some were tried and executed by the Buenos Aires authorities, something you always fail to point out). The civilians were asked if they wanted to stay under British rule.
    4 (not from the UPot RP) wanted to leave, but they had a choice (therefore they were not expelled),and the other settlers, most from the UPotRP wanted to stay under British rule. This means, you fool, that as they were allowed to stay, they were not expelled.
    Moreover as the Islands were British since 1765, and a protest (ignored by the UPotRP) was made by the UK government about the militia and penal colony, the presence of the UPotRP authorities was illegal and the British had every right to expel them. The fact that most of the population that was allowed to stay were the original forefathers of the present Falkland Islanders, shows that there was no artificially transplanted population on the Islands which is an Argentine myth.

    Here's the thing about this pirate invasion of 1833: what crap! Not a death worth a damn, no maidens held to ransom, no keelhauling, no walking the plank. Hardly so much as a dog kicked or a beard singed!

    And a so-called “expulsion” that leaves Rivero and his gang still on site several months later to show the world how a proper murder spree is conducted.

    And to add insult to injury, a mere 17 years the Argentines have forgotten the whole thing to the point that they are prepared to sign a treaty settling all disputes.

    What kind of a crap pirate invasion is this? Anybody might think it never happened! Frankly, I'm embarassed! I hope my pirate ancestors complained to their MP at the time, or OFLOOT, or the Sir Francis Drake foundation, or whoever the responsible authority was at the time.

    The cool and careful analysis of the arguments and

    over the Falklands.
    The work concludes with a look into the future, noting
    overall declining UN concern (with one or two exceptions)
    over the territories, and the fact that in the majority the

    @52 “Buenos Aires made continual diplomatic representations over the next 150 years to recover the islands”.
    No it didn't. There were no representations between 1850 and 1884. Nor between 1884 and 1941. That's a total of 90 years. So, for more than half the time between 1833 and 2012, argieland said NOTHING. How easy it is to demonstrate argie STUPIDITY!

    I have said it before, and I will sat it again - any argument using the eviction of the chagos islanders to justify thge eviction or subjugation of the Falklanders in morally bankrupt.

    By the way - I note that Argentinians like rushing to the defence of Saddam Hussein and the Baath party in Iraq. You seem to like supporting facists who practice continual aggression against their neighbours and genocide against “undesirables”. Quite a lot of you like defending Nazi Germany too.........

    What I don't support is morally bankrupt nations like the UK/Europe/US deciding the government of other nations.

    Saddam Hussein was a monster created by you. Iraq is not a country. Get it? It was a British/French whim

    Libya is not a country, it was an Italian whim.

    Tanzania is not a country, it was a German whim.

    And on and on and on... Why do you think Africa and the Middle East have the most internecine turmoil of any places in the world? Because the borders carved out by YOU are irrational.

    Like carving a country from southern Ireland, England and northern France, or from southern Germany and northern Italy...

    Look at Yugoslavia, Czecholovakia, etc... even in your own continent you see what happens wehn you create “nations” that make no sense ethnically, religiously, or tribally.

    I don't support the facsists, but I support your interventions even less! They were the original disease.

    And how does UK treat illegal aliens, we Argentines refuse to be dictated by a colonial power how we should treat illegal aliens. About we send them back to their mother land. We will not accept the English bias attitudes and dubble standards. Good try! get a life loosers!
