Seriously though: its pretty low tactics and positively colonial for a big country to try to intimidate a tiny island nation by the use of de-facto economic blockades.
This really does not help the Argentine position at all with regards to the two major ongoing legal disputes. Does anyone in the Argentine government actually think?

Thugs: We don't want your worthless pesos, we want them big jobby ships to change course!!!
Terrified staff: How about dollars ?
Thugs: Later! For now we want you to tell your fiendish vulture captains to avoid going to the falklands!!!
Background: More screams, hurried conversations about whether they are allowed to take dollars, followed by “Let me call mum”.
Terrified staff: Oh. oh I see, let us get this straight, you are here dressed as Milk Tray men because you want to stop cruise ships docking in the falklands? Isn't that particularly ridiculous ? How do you think this will play out in diplomatic circles?
Thugs: We haven't thought that far ahead yet you colonial imperialists! All we were told was to do something, ANYTHING to distract from the veritable shower of sh*te we are pouring on ourselves.
Staff (holding back laughter): Well of course, in that case, we'll call the captain in the morning. Can we go now?
Thugs: Yes! We strike a blow for sovereignty and detonating nuclear weapons under our own feet. Now, about those dollars...
And now for something completely different...

I personally don't think there should be any dispute, the Falklanders have made their desires clear. At the same time, I don't think any law “of the sea” you can come up with trumps sovereignty and self-determination.
If it is the self-determination and sovereignty of Argentina to ban x ships from y country, that's the way it is.

So shameful, & ever so typically argentine. Like kidnapping school children & students. Soft targets are a speciality. And easier to bully. The shipping agents are so lucky that argentina is probably out of jet fuel and the C130's have been repossessed or unable to be started up, otherwise it may have meant a one way trip off the coast.

Also the FI is arguably the most desired destination of the SA cruise, if it is dropped from the tour, there would be lower passenger numbers for all the tourist destinations. But the impact on the FI would be low, they would still have a much higher GDP than Argentina and that's before the oil starts flowing...
Ultimately would this state sponsored hooliganism bring Argentina any closer, to achieving their colonial ambitions of capturing the FI?

The Republic of Argentina DIDN'T exist UNTIL 1853.
In 1833 the British had to kick out some illegal squatters/mrderers/rapists for the United Provinces of the River Plate, who had murdered their own commanding officer and raped his wife.
In the meantime, in 2012, Argentina act as pirates, bullys - well basically NAZI's. After all, Nazism, is the political model that your wonderful President uses and idolises, isn't it?
16 Nostrolldamus The 2nd please show where, under UN law. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea does not apply, for territories considered under dispute. UK sovereignty is now definitely established, while Argentina could not even get her claim inside the the door of the ICJ. Self-determination is a UN right, the islanders already have.

This epitomises Argentina and their attitude towards the Falklands. Argentine diplomats travel the globe preaching their moral right to islands and the injustice of the whole situation. If Argentina was so morally correct and a campaigner of human rights, why do such actions mentioned in the article occur and for those who carried it out receive no punishment. It is because Argentina is not the great and powerful country it and its citizens like to proclaim.
Nov 27th, 2012 - 04:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0To any Argentines reading this article that are proud of the violent actions carried out by these thugs, hang your big-heads in shame. It is actions like these, which are accepted by your backward nation, is why we Islanders want nothing to do with you.
If you want every country in the world to think of you as highly as you think of yourselves, it is actions like these that need to be eliminated or severely punished. Shameful from a country that proclaims itself highly moral. There is no justification for actions like these. But I am sure being Argentines you can justify anything you want and convince yourselves that you are morally right.
Strange how the Argies claim not to be Spanish, yet go on about 1806/7 when they were, in a very real sense, actually Spanish.
Nov 27th, 2012 - 04:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@31
Nov 27th, 2012 - 05:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ok, lets assume there is no dispute about the Falklands.
Argentina is still under no obligation to allow British ships in its ports, with the exception of imminent distress.
The Law of the Sea does not:
a) prevent a nation from exercising sovereignty over who is allowed in its borders or not at any land, air, or water point of entry, and ports are official points of entry. If any ship for any reason has the right to dock, then you are dispensing with the notion of nationhood and recognized borders. I think you'll have a hard time in court with thatone.
b) prevent nations from engaging in the SELF-DETERMINATION of using economic or political pressure as a tool of governance. One of the tools in such arsenal are economic restrictions, or political restrictions. If the law of the sea bans these, then the concept of SANCTIONS becomes illegal. The EU/US sanctions against Iran, North Korea, and Cuba, are thus llegal and you are in the hook for tens of billions, perhaps hundreds of billions, for hampering for decades the rights of those nations, since sanctions are made illegal by the overarching law of the sea you guys claim has so much power.
There never has been any doubts about the morality, justice and merits of the Liberation of the Falkland Islands from the illegal invasion by argentina, but recent events reinforce it again.The whole world is witnessing argentina melting down, a country that is run by a nazi elite, supported, often loudly, by a bullying, brown-shirted, uni-browed Neanderthal populace. Argentines appear not to understand how bad their so-called country appears to rational civilised people around the whole world.

Further, underscored by ”b) prevent nations from engaging in the SELF-DETERMINATION of using economic or political pressure as a tool of governance.”
This is purely an unilateral illegal act by Argentina. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said UK is not violating relevant UN resolutions referred to the Falklands’ and more specifically on colonialism, he argued that a prevailing impression is that “people living under certain conditions should have a certain level of capacities so that they can decide their own future”, be it independence or some kind of government in their territories.
If Argentina had a case she could use proper legal methods such as submitting her claim to an appropriate legal tribunal. The only reason she doesn't is because she doesn't have a sufficiency in law to succeed.
@49 Tobias Considering they only have one aircraft carrier, and it can't be used in warfare as it's incapable of doing so. Plus it's over 30 years old and scrap metal compared to the ones we're building right now. China will never be a military threat with the current path they're on right now.

Nov 28th, 2012 - 02:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina should be owned by ITALY. 50% of our people is Italian, which means 20,000,000 votes in favor of an Italian country as per the Italian Constitution that recognize us as Italian people. The same way in South Brazil, and Uruguay. The referendum will be easy and then the European Union would have direct access to our South American properties, and lands, which could comprise probably 40% of the South American territory. When we travel the world, people take us as Italian or USA Americans. What is the problem on making it real?

common sense?
Dear 87 Anbar, please, first use a real name before adding comments in public... This is sensationalism and whatever the Army committed crimes or not, they are still OFFICIAL ARMY and they deserve respect and comprehension instead of being treated as criminals. How about all the crimes committed by the guerrilleros-terrorists? Where are the videos about Che Guevara crimes in the Cuban dictatorship? How many people has he killed? I am not defending the Military the same way I am not defending the Terrorists, but I can tell that if you want to do justice you find legal and civilized ways of making it happen and not only doing terrorism or coward attacks like those guerrileros did all over Latin America. Why the military had this reaction? What happened first? At the same time, you know that Argentinians are violent people, the same way as British, Italians, and Germans are. So when we fight, we really do fight. And that is even what is happening now with the Montonera Guerrillera Cristina Kirchner declaring one new war against UK for the Falklands Islands. She is more dangerous than the Military of the 70's!

@72 Considering that the average person knows maybe 10,000 words and those educated at university maybe perhaps 20,000 words. I don't think you've even stepped foot inside a university, and the fact that you claim to know more English words than your native Spanish is ridiculous, Plus I doubt you're more educated than someone who spent 6 years earning a doctorate. And you're still using a thesaurus. Funny

20.000 lemmas is what is considered expected for college graduate.
And yes I know more words in English because I focused on vocabulary with the English language. In Spanish I focused on tenses and mechanics of proper grammar.
I can use almost 40 Spanish tenses in their correct usage. Contrast in Germanic languages where most people only use 5 or 6 tenses.

“Sussie Middleton” I would say.
@Dany Berger: Thank you for your advice but what is considered 'criminal' and 'sane' in the world today is very confusing as you know we just entered a new Dark Ages moment in History. I bought few weeks ago the Atkins book about our society decline and yes, it is what it is. It is not only the super power of criminal minds and former prisoners such as Cristina, Lula, Dilma, Chavez, but also the entire society is corrupted. I am 36 years old, I do can tell you that most of the new generation, who grew up in criminality and urban war, do believe that to steal, lie, corrupt, and do prostitution is 'kind of cool'. And things will get even worse in 10-20 years, when most of people who are over 50 years old today will be dead... Sad but true and there is not much we can do. Demographics is mother nature. God may want the human kind to be back to a savage and primitive way of life. In 200 years, we will be all living in caves again and things like 'computers and cars' will be unknown objects since there will be no fuel, no electricity... Car crates will be used for shelter against rain, and computers as stones to build shelters or as guns when our descendants will fight for food and water. Things are much worse than expected. See the quick deterioration of Argentina and South Africa. From civilization to Fourth World in only 40 years. This is just a prediction of what will happen to the entire civilized world in the next 100 years. Since USA, Europe, and Australia are giants, the deterioration goes slow but you can clearly see the fast demographic change in the American society where I am staying longer this year. Due to HIV, civilization fashion victims lifestyle, psychiatrist pills, car-supermarket-wi-fi-lifestyle-and-lonely-way-of-life, and all that our civilization is lost. Now, as Euro-descendants minorities use to say in Brazil now that we are condemned to the powerful Lula Hispanic and Black enslavement: “vamos curtir a deprê e melhor rir do que chorar.”

Dec 01st, 2012 - 06:42 am - Link - Report abuse 01-“Criminal” Someone that commit a crime or does something against the establish law.
2-“Sane” someone that apparently is mentally healthy but is not excepted to be a criminal.
3- Are you talking of “Man and Society in Calamity” from 1942 wrote by Sorokin perhaps?
And adapted and republished by this idiot “Grandpappy or Robert Wayne Atkins”?
http://www.grandpappy.info/index.htm
That book is 70 years old and was wrote by a Russian that was expulsed from Russia.
And a pretty good tool to indoctrinate dogmatic Christians with empties heads that believe in ferry tales.
4-“I am 36 years old...”
This is a complete lie the majority of the young people have projects, go to school universities, run a business, etc. You talk like and bitter angry old man that feels being excluded from the society by the youngsters.
How many young people do you know to affirm that?
Your “cliche” comes from the media and literature you are consuming like the book you are reading now.
The society had changed and media and globalisation have empower the young generation to include them in the consumerism order like women in the last decades. You can like it or not but is the way its.
What next? Are you going to say that all women are also prostitutes because they earn more than you?
5- Now Father O'brien lets talk about real corruption like in the religion and the church where is full of paedophiles with good friends in the Italian mafia, corrupt politicians and centre of power.
I didn’t hear a word about that father?
That yes is pretty scary, I guess we have to do something with them. What do you think about a real job doing something useful?

”BTW how much got pay a UK team propaganda member on these days?”
Ha ha! We are not like you.
Each non-Kirchnerite poster (excepting TTT) is an individual and free thinker.
They have only one message in common, “ leave the Falklands alone!”
Don't flatter yourselves that anyone really takes much notice of you except when your tantrums get very shrill. Certainly, we are not like La Campora - no governments or organisations would consider there to be any value in financing anti-CFK paid propagandists. No interest and no point in it. Sooner or later, non-Argentinians see through the tantrums, lies, and performances. Argentina shows her true colours.
How's Christmas shaping up? Got any plans?
Are you going to send some Xmas Spam to the crew of the Libertad for their holiday dinner? Marks & Sparks makes a lovely Christmas pudding. Oops, no, you would need to import that with $$ or £.
Better do your Christmas shopping early, you know the Peso is only going to be worth less, the closer to Christmas you get. :-)
I wonder what CFK is wishing for, this year???
