    she'll be busy elsewhere, well said i'd wait round the corner and catch her by surprise, “well turkey neck about the falklands”, “ eeerr speak to tinman”. She'll never speak out in front of the big guns because they can all see right through her

    @2 I'm loving the insightful and analytical comment you made there Port Stanley (I don't know where this Puerto Argentino is, but I think it's a name dreamed up by the Argentine commander after he illegally occupied the islands in 1982). I think this is great. I would LMAO if it turned into a shouting match in front of the entire G20, but that won't happen. I can see Cristina doing that but not Cameron. I think that Cristina will likely be put very much in her place and will perhaps be made to realise that her sabre-rattling rhetoric is getting her nowhere. I really hope Cameron does not offer her this 'small olive branch'. He should be utterly uncompromising and not give her any ammo of any kind - if he does she'll be claiming that Britain has finally decided to negotiate and that it's a great victory for the 'malvinas' cause. In any case, she's screwed.

    Long Live the Falklands.

    Desire the Right.

    Now this is the right way to go about this.....

    I cannot imagine what those kelpers were thinking of when they tried to pass that letter to CFK.

    In international politics, States deal with States NOT with oversees territories.

    I am sure CFK will gladly receive the letter from another Head of State such as Cameron

    If Cameron does that, will be its worst diplomatic blunder. And if CFK makes a good read of the situation will accept whatever you want to give the English prime minister, because that is a branch of olive tree is implicitly accepting that they have unfinished business with Argentina over the Falklands. The bed and is lying just need to lie Cameron .. Jajajaja!

    Nothing to do with negotiating... just passing on the letter she refused to accept last week.....

    from the BA times....'Kirchnerites may swear they won’t change the electoral system, but they are liars,' UCR’s head says...

    The head of the Radical Party (UCR), Mario Barletta, said his party will not support a government’s constitutional reform plan “not even if they [Kirchnerites] swear by all religions and saints of the world that they won’t modify the presidential electoral system to validate a second re-election.”
    In that sense, Barletta said he has “no doubt that this government will try to attack the Republic, the institutions and the Constitution itself before 2013, after 2013, and always”, and concluded, “Not if they bring it written in stone, we do not believe them because they are all liars.”

    Good analysis from MLA Short: ”as the Argentine economy slides ever deeper into crisis it may well cause the government in Argentina to become even more desperate to divert attention away from what looks like being a looming disaster”.

    PM Cameron welcome to present - or extend - a Falkland Islands message to CFK, and whether she sees it as threatening to her tactics of obfuscation and subterfuge is up to her.

    @16 hipolyte

    There are a number of glaring errors in your post.

    The Falkland Islands have never been stolen by the British. Three times in history someone has tried to steal them from Britain.

    In 1771 Spain and Britain nearly went to war over them but agreed diplomatically to share them. Two “adult” countries behaving like adults.

    In 1832 Argentine sent a penal colony under Esteban Mestevier to try and steal sovereignty. The poor chap was murdered by his own crew and his wife raped in front of her children. This penal colony was removed 3 months later and British sovereignty re-established. One adult country (UK), one bunch of murdering rapists (Argentina).

    In 1833 when Britain re-established sovereignty, there was a small independent business present on then Islands, set up by Luis Vernet. This community was there with the permission of London and was encouraged to stay (and did). Subsequent Argentine claims that it was an “indigenous Argentine community, removed by the British” are lies.

    The third time the islands were “stolen” was in 1982. This was another embarrassing defeat for Argentina, militarily in 1982 when a heavily outnumbered British force regained the islands, but especially today. To see Kirchner blame a “military junta” and take no responsibility for her countries history is gob-smacking.

    So there you have it, three sovereignty disputes. The UK and Spain are able to solve theirs like adults. Argentine behave like murders, rapists, pirates and liars.

    The Falkland Islanders are defended by the British because of Argentinas history of murder, rape and theft. And they will be for as long as they want to be.

    DESIRE THE RIGHT.

    I hope Cameron will present her with Pepper and Pascoe which outlines the way Argentina decieved the UN in the early 1960s and makes 2065 null and void.

    If the UN had not had not recieved misleading information from Argentina in the 1960s, 2065 would not have happened, but uinfortunately Britain was not aware of its own supporting history. Our bad at the time.

    Argentina ratcheting up the situation has had a very welcome benefit.

    Whereas before, HMG, the British Press and the UK in general, even I suspect some of the Falklanders did not have a clue about the history of the Falklands and chose to ignore it, what has been revealed through examining carefully (not just cherry picking bits off them) past treaties, ship manifests, Darwins accounts, diaries etc has actually shown that the Argentines case has more holes in it than in its seabed museum of aircraft splashed by the task force in 1982.

    I was actually told by an MLA, we prefer not to discuss 1833 as it looks dodgy, but if the said MLA had actually extracted a digit from his backside, done his job which the posters on this forum have done better than him (and not been paid for it), and examined it thoroughly it is quite clear to any idiot that the events in 1833 and prior to are not detrimental to the Falkland Islanders case at all, in fact they are a gift and key factor in exposing the Argentines innacurate portrayal of history.

    This whole arg-debacle combined with the lack of trust building on the side of the Argentinians outlines the need for a significant defensive strategy on the side of the Falklanders. Argentinians simply cannot be trusted, in neither words nor behaviour and any manifestation of belligerence should be met with a significant response.

    Sod the Brazillians with their 'they're militarising 'OUR' latin america' ... Falklanders are not latin, and have no intention of being, so keep your untrustworthy corrupt little mittens of 'OUR' anglo-french america.

    It amazes me that people (especiallyArgentines) actually believe that CFK wants to get control of the Islands. The Falklands (Malvinas) islands issue has been used as a rallying cry for patrotic fervour and a distraction by the Argentine government ever since Peron removed the British business in the 1930s/1940s from Argetnine. It is the best tactic that this current corrupt government have in order to distract their own people and tax payers (of which I am one) from seeing their continued removal of their rights.

    I give for example the way the government tries to control the press here placing huge pressure on them to conform to the line of the current government (this has been reported on extensivily by the BsAs hearld, clarin and the rest of the free press in Argentina), the block on the purchase of dollers there by denying Argentines and residents the right to choose how and where they hold their savings, (we are made to support a faulty econonic model we do not belive in), growing crime and corruption (we have even seen the vice president being investigated for taking backhanders for awarding government contracts).

    CFK has no intrest in solving this issue and is intrested in only using it as a distraction to the country and in paticuler the poorer classes (and therefore Argentine masses) from the fact that she is going to have to cut social spending very soon or risk depening the recesion Argentine is in. Yes Argentine is is recesion (2 consecutive periods of negative growth) as we have been hearing from independent econimists within the country. The problem is the high inflation that will lead to either hyperinflation (if she chooses to carry out quantative easing) or more likely stagflation for an economy unable to move. The houseing market is already gone.

    I implore Argentines to see her tricks and take back your country. Neogociation on the islands will have to wait untill the 1982 war is out of living memory and the bullying from Argentina stops.

    39: no, CFK claims the islands are administered by the UK and so David Cameron is presenting her with the relevant documents referring to the island's current issues. He's doing what she wants. The Governor that you refer to has no power to discuss with CFK about sovereignty so I don't know why you mentioned him at all. All issues have to go through the FIG. They administer themselves.

    The problem is Argentina wants negocians on sovernity and it wants them to happen immediatly and for a consensus to be reached quickly in time for the next election.

    The problem is this is not how diplomacy works. Any discussions on the handover or sharing of soverinity (as she stated in her speach to the C24, i.e. secret paper from Perons time) must come from a position of trust between the population, the British government and the Argentine government and this does NOT exist at the current time.

    The only way we can advance in the issue is to discuss and agree on other mutual issues (i.e. oil exploration, fisheries etc) as Cameron is suggesting in order to lay a foundation of trust that can then be advanced in the future. Their was real progress made with Menem and Blair in the 1990s and had it not been for Nestor Kirchiner unilaterlay discrading the agreements when he came to power, that foundation of trust would possibly of existed.

    I could see one day a shared soveringity in the islands and closer ties between the two nations however it will need to be outside of living memory of the war (so that patriotic fervour on both sides has subsided) and following years and years on argeements which lay a foundation of trust. I am however, sceptical that the Peronists want this and are intrested in a quick populrist policies which increases the voter base.

    I ask CFK to take this oppurtuntity to enter into non soveringity negociations so that we can build the foundation for the future of possible soveringity talks. Like she says give peace a chance. Just be aware that after the Argentines actions in 1982 and the bullying since this will take a long time and a change in policy to convince the islanders that you have their intrests at heart so that they can see they have nothing to fear from you and that you will preserve their current rights and freedoms. This could even be similar to Hong Kong where there is the one country different system policy in place.

    @6 Proper States are interested in peace. Because in peace there is trade. And so, when the time is right, they will talk to anyone. Things that “think” they are States stand on their “dignity”. I'll bet argieland wishes it had some dignity, and some credibility.
    @11 There will be NO negotiations over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands. Britain may “offer” the possibility of co-operation with argieland. If argieland negotiates the details with the FIG and if Britain agrees.
    @14 Bear it in mind. Talk, on our terms, or else.
    @16 Argieland will not be getting the Islands. Nor will it be raising its flag. EVER. Get used to it.
    @17 Nope, no pressure. Just timing. After all, this is likely to be the last G20 meeting CFK will attend. The Americans are already pointing out that argieland needs to exit as soon as it no longer meets the criteria.
    @20 Did argieland say anything? No-one was listening!

    The fact is that Cameron is on quite safe ground. Let's assume she does dare to talk to him. The first words might be:
    Cameron: The FIG are prepared to hold discussions in respect of fishing co-operation and oil exploration.
    CFK: We want to talk about sovereignty. And we will only talk to Britain.
    Cameron: No. Was there anything else?
    CFK: Alright, we will talk to FIG about fishing and oil. And sovereignty.
    Cameron: Watch my lips. You get to talk to FIG about what FIG is prepared to talk to you about. Sovereignty isn't one of those things. And you will have to go to the Falklands.
    CFK: I will send a team. Headed by my foreign minister.
    Cameron: Watch my lips again. YOU will go to the Falklands. You may nominate the members of your team. FIG will determine who is and who isn't acceptable.
    CFK: I will NOT go to the Falklands!
    Cameron: Who are you going to talk to then? By the way, this conversation is being video-recorded. Now, can we get on to talking about the number of times your country has deliberately LIED to the United Nations on this issue?

Im as passionate about the falklands as i am abou bein a scouser i never want to hand the islands over to a country like Argentina, this supposedly transplanted population, is 8000 miles away, cut off from the world, has argentina continuosly making their life hell, and Argentina Still play the Victims Oh cmon and give ya head a wobble. no wonder they want to remain british... if i was them id choose anything but Argentina. Youve gone about it thee wrong way you should be trying to win them over on your side if you want that land. Do u think spain should ask argentina for the land back? what would argentina say? Oh well thats how we say we got the malvinas so we will have to let spain have argentina? I dont see how Argentinas decisions/actions are made really. Dont want to sound xenophobic but maybe Argentina is what people say.... that your just poor and poor liars. your president looks like a pre op transgender, erm and isnt your inflation like 12% for the year? hmm seems to be that your president (the one with the lips like pete burns) needs to start working for her people/ the argentines and stop worrying about 3000 people trying to make a living.

    Each and every time Britain and the islanders hold out an olive branch it is snubbed. Why do we bother? Perhaps it is because we see them as misguided and brainwashed and so they can't help it.

    How many British military personnel and hardware were there in the Islands in 1982 April 2?

    What happened on April 2 1982?

    In the entire South Atlantic how many British military personnel and how much hardware is there? What is the ratio of military personnel and hardware per km2?

    What proportion does this represent of the total British forces and the spending on forces?

    Which country is almost 15 times larger than the UK and with a smaller population?

    Are you pathetic trolls/angry/indoctrinated people who don't have the courage to seek the truth and appreciate what you already have in your massive resource rich beautiful country?

    @34 Pete Bog

    I would say that 1833 is now irrelevant. I trust the english version of events more than the Argentine especially after what I've seen of recent Argentine political behaviour. But it was a long time ago and there is no way of verifying the facts of what happened in 1833 to the point where the immoral, inept politicians of the Argentine political system would accept them. We've seen how untrustworthy and pathetic they are.

    I believe what should be focused on 100% is the fact that there is a very well established, resilient, well managed and prospering society small as it may be that have the right to choose their governance and live in peace. In a similar vein if Santa Cruz resoundingly wanted to be independent of BA or Cornwall of the UK then why not?

    The right to self determination of a people cannot be trumped which ever way its looked at.

    Don't worry people. Considering that Cristina vowed to colonise the Falklands for Argentina in her election campaign, the fact that she won't have managed it by the next election will mean that she will surely get voted out and someone more reasonable will come in. Then again, I don't think she can get re-elected unless she cheats - she's on her second term isn't she? Better hurry up Cristina... To be honest I can see her taking drastic action shortly before the election and sending in Argentina's mighty navy to recapture the islands (four small 'destroyers' and a converted cargo vessel to carry troops)

    To all the supporters of the proposed Argentina colonisation of the Falklands. I accept that your claim to the “Malvinas” has a grain of historical and legal merit, albeit trivial. Face facts - the real reason for the claim is solely based on its proximity to Patagonia. However, most of Patagonia was not incorporated into Argentina until around 1900, after the Indian genocide and almost 70 years after the British settlement. For that matter, the first Europeans to have the cojones to settle in the then Indian territory of Patagonia were Welsh not Latinos.
    But my question - which I have asked several times before with NO REPLY - is this - on what historical/legal basis is the belated Argentina claim to South Georgia based..? You cannot claim that it was Spanish territory since under the Treaty of Tordessilas it was alloted to Portugal. The truth of the matter is that it is purely based on proximity just like your childish claim to the Falklands and thus it has no legal bearing whatsoever.

    @Simon 68 - I believe Argentina's “claim” to S.Georgia, etc, only dates from circa 1940. Since SG has always been administered from the Falklands, why did it take them so long to put in their claim to the dependencies? A chancer indeed..!

    Never mind carriers etc, the troops already based on the islands and those that the UK can quickly put on the islands are many times superior to the Argie soldiers and the current garrison with all its air defence capability plus the submarine and destroyer patrols with its missile and hunter killer capability can stave off anything thrown at it by Argentina, why do you think that CFK keeps moaning on about how militarised the islands are? Its because she knows that Argentina stands no chance with a 'military' option as things are now and she wants this reduced so that she can include this option.

    Argentina's democracy is barely the timespan of a decent length mortgage in the Western world. It is not far enough away from the actions of the military junta and therefore still demonstrates what appears to be its innate resorting to aggression and force. Argentina's people did too little to oppose the military when they were in power and what was done by the military was done in their name whether or not they accept this. Argentina's behaviour is infantile in the World of democracy like a child throwing its toys out of the pram when it does not get what it wants. Mature democracies will not give in to this blackmail.

    Against this, the United Kingdom is a long-standing, never-conquered democracy, a powerful member of the United Nations, a permanent member of the security council, an EU member, a NATO member, a Commonwealth member and a respected member of the international community.

    Despite many attacks on the UK by terrorists et al over the years, including the attempted assassination of the Prime Minister, the UK did not give in to terrorists and those using force to achieve their aims. We never give in and we never give up.

    The Falkland Islands is an overseas territory of the UK, and this will remain so. Perhaps it is time to incorporate the Falklands into the United Kingdom itself (as an autonomous entity), and remove any doubt that Argentina may have as to our position, or that of our British Citizens in residence there.

    One begins to experience serious fatigue listening to the 'macho-moaning' emanating from Queen Christina and Lapdog Timerman. It is only a matter of time before they fade into irrelevance with this broken record.

    The wise thing to do (explains why they haven't done it!), would have been to woo the islanders ... but that would have required patience, something Argentina is short of, along with food, jobs, diplomacy, as well as foresight and hindsight.

    Argentina is an aggressor. It knows no other way, and cannot demonstrate otherwise.

    Are you serious, the Falkland Islands has one of the best GDP's in the world (7th I think). Not being able to get produce over from South America is annoying but we can do without. I'm sure it won't be long before we set up a shipping link with South Africa if Argentina keeps up it's temper tantrum blockades.
    I don't know about Argentina not “needing” a war but even if they did they don't have the means to start one. The Typhoons, SAM sites and the type 45 could probably hold off an Argentine invasion without needing a taskforce sent down this time, not to mention the hunter killer sub that that the Argentines claim is in the area.

    Takes time Dr.Z think about Iraq.

    You have to build the coalition “liberty & Freedom” to liberate oppressed Islanders from UK and that takes time.

    But sure will be before 2020 so still no carrier.

    By the way Dr. Z are you going to be in the front line in FI repealing Arg. forces with the same impetus you have here on this forum or am I assuming wrong?

    @116 - Poor deluded Dany.

    You are going to build a coalition are you? Of whom, exactly? Lets see, your friends currently stand at:

    1. Angola - pathetic
    2. Syria - middle of a civil war
    3. Iran - any move towards the America's and the USA when whack them.
    4. Ecaduor - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    5. Venezula - I repeat HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    6. China - won't get involved (too many trade deals with the UK)
    7. Russia - won't get involved (wouldn't want to make a fool of itself)
    8. Chile - won't get involved (why should the die for Argentina?)
    9. Brazil - won't get involved (as above)

    so that leaves Argentina with who precisely?

    Besides, the UK can always invoke article 5 of the NATO charter, and then you'd be facing the whole of NATO, wouldn't you? Not that we need it as your military is so underfunded that it couldn't invade a girl guide camp, let alone take on the British.

    Dany, feel free to invade, I guarantee that you'll be all alone, and I don't mean Argentina, I mean you personally.

    103 DanyBerger******* Mr Burger that seems a funny name I must say? did your mother and father give you that name if they did it seems they have quite a sense of humor either that or they thought that they would have a little bit of fun at your expense.

    Anyway back to businesses, I don't know how many times I have to say it but we British will not be the ones starting any little war down in the South Atlantic, we did not start one in 1982 when my predecessor Mrs Thatcher had to send down quite a number of military personal to fight and get the Falklands back from what we saw and still see as a bunch of thieves and Del boys.

    Now I have to give fair warning while we will not be the ones who will start any trouble down there I have to say that we have a contingency plan that will come into force if Argentina chances its arm at invading once again.

    We will invoke article 5 of the NATO charter and we will once more send down military personal to once more try and teach Argentina basic manners. However I also know that this will not happen as Argentina for all its faults just does not have the capability to even launch a fishing boat as most likely they will be out on strike when Argentina asks them to put to sea.

    Now back the the first paragraph at the top of the comment that I have made. Mr Burger I do wish you would change your name to a more sensible name, the name DanyBurger seems to me something like a burger chain name such a silly name so do take this opportunity to change it to a far more sensible name.

    Also homophobic eh!

    May be a little bit “racist too” ?

    Mr Berger I see you still not changed your name yet!!!!! still never mind we shall continue to take the P out of you no matter what you change your name to.

    Now back to business in hand, you seem to be a little bit deluded with the assumption that no one will help my country if I invoke article 5 of the NATO charter I think you will find that they will have very little option but to come and help us if we need them. Whereas what country is going to come to your country's aid when push comes to shove perhaps the same ones who came rushing to help you back in 1982 maybe they will be lining up to help you, maybe Brazil? No I don't think so, I have seen to it that Brazil will be losing quite a bit of trade if it comes out on your country's side, maybe Chile then? No I don't think so they actually hate your country, maybe Uruguay? No yet again why should Uruguay one of the most economically developed countries in South America come to the aid of a country that has shown that it could not run a party up in a brewery?

    No you do not have many friends in the World that would come to your aid, what about the Chinese they would come to your aid wouldn't they? Well no actually they wouldn't, why spoil a good thing they are making pots of money out of the rest of the worlds so why should they suddenly go and spoil a good thing?

    Ah well Mr Berger it seems your on your own does it not???? It must be so terrible for you when you do not have many friends that you can call up on to help you. We Brits on the other hand even though everyone says they don't like us can just pick up a phone dial a few numbers and people just drop what they are doing and come to our aid.

    Carefully read Article 4 of the Washington Treaty or better yet, have someone read it to you. Nato was set up to protect us against the Russians and I assume that we would have had to fight them in the Pacific also. Afghanistan, as far as I know does not have an Atlantic port. In other words if you attack UK, ie The Falklands, Nato, if asked will come to the rescue. I live in a NATO country and I saw the coffins coming back from Afghanistan. We stand by our members. UNASUR is a sewing club.

    Without a doubt the Argentinian airforce operated to international standards of airmanship during the war. Anyone who says differently either does not know what really happened or wants to deny the facts.

    However, the planes which flew in the war are still in service today. Time expired airframes that were never maintained in accordance to the manufactureres requirements have killed more Argentinian pilots than anything else - a national disgrace for Argentina.

    The airforce today (mainly A4s) presents no serious threat to the likes of the Typhoons and most certainly not to a Type 45 which is more than capable of downing them the instant they cross the coast, having tracked them from takeoff.

    The old Type 38 cruise missiles that are left have NEVER been test fired since 1982. Given the need to replace components because of age degradation it is highly likely that many of them could NOT operate now and anyway the Type 45 can easily down them well before any threat can be carried out.

    It must be concluded that Argentina cannot muster any creditable air strike capability at present and requires a major upgrade and corresponding training of aircrews for it to do so. A huge cost for any country.

    How is that possible with the country in such a chaotic state of affairs and effectively bankrupt?

    Mr Berger, I see you do not know what NATO does so I will inform you of what article 5 does

    NATO is committed to the peaceful resolution to all disputes. If diplomatic efforts fail it has the military capability to undertake undertake crises management operations . These are undertaken by article 5 of the Washington treaty, or under a UN mandate, alone or in cooperation with other country's and international organizations.

    So you see Mr Burger all I have to do is pick up the phone to my friends and ask for a tiny bit of help and they would come a running.

    There are two recognised routes to deal with planes that are no longer needed / obsolete / time expired airframes, etc.

    One, used extensively by middle ranking airlines (and major ones at time of supply shortages) is to buy parts from major plane breakers WHERE THE PROVENENCE IS NOT DISPUTED.

    Engines are regularly swapped just weeks before the decision to 'scrap' the plane is made. They still have all the relevant documentation to prove how many hours they have left and the amount of servicing they have had since new. Parts such as these are very valuable and would be safe to use in general aviation. Don't overlook that 99.9% of these planes have been flown in the the 'park' and are in very good working order when they arrive.

    For instance, I would rather fly in a plane with these type of engines than in Areolinas Argentina aircraft where frankly, given the propensity for lying that the Argentinians have, I would not trust the service records OR the competency of servicing.

    The second route is frankly the break, smash and scrap brigade. Yes, jet engines, especially fighter plane engines will have lots of exotic metals within the core. Generally, because of time expired records showing 'Nil time' they are of melt down value only. This is still a lot of money though. Current Europe sourced price for Titanium Grades 1 - 4 (scrap) is US$ 8,650 ex port facility per metric tonne.

    If I were to be hard on them, and why not, the Argie airplane roster is probably worth more as scrap than if they managed to sell them. But who would be stupid enough to risk buying them?

    Hope this helps.
