Jan 21st, 2013 - 02:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As for him:
“I bode you continue with your people’s conquests and the role Argentina will have in the region as in the world”.
Talk about encouraging her dillusions of granduer. He should be up on mental cruelty charges.
But that is the way they speak in that part of the world - don't read too much into it.

Jan 21st, 2013 - 02:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You and I know that, the problem is, she does not! cruel of him to encourage her.
“I bode you continue with your people’s conquests”.... if that's not irony, I don't know what is.
Jan 21st, 2013 - 02:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@4 She is oblivious to cultural nuance. Sometimes I wonder if any of these foreign leaders laugh when she leaves the room. Her face in these shots is scarier than usual.
Jan 21st, 2013 - 02:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0After all that bollocks talking no mention on support for SS Kirchners colonial asperations over The Falkland Islands
Jan 21st, 2013 - 02:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0An interesting re-writing of history :
Jan 21st, 2013 - 03:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0According to the papers , but not mentioned here , she compared HoChiMinh to San Martin , implying that San Martin was a left wing revolutionary , which he patently wasn't .
Furthermore , she never mentioned Peron or Evita , whom she is subtly trying to airbrush out of Argentine history .
A moron for her generation

A con for her generation
While Argentina has some problem with human rights, freedom and corruption, all of those indicators appear to be at least marginally better than those of Vietnam.
Jan 21st, 2013 - 03:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0However, on the Global Peace Index, Vietnam currently ranks lower (more peaceful) than Argentina, which might be attributable in part to CFK's strident anti-Falkland Islands position?

Vietnam also have Island problems, strange the traditional whining about the Falklands seems to have been excluded. Perhaps the Vietnamese demanded a supporting statement about the South China Sea to “support” KFC regarding the Falklands.
Jan 21st, 2013 - 04:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm absolutely amazed. Perhaps even dumbfounded. Vietnam and arsieland must be two of the most advanced countries in the world. Read the relevant part of the article again. “as well as to celebrate the forty years of diplomatic relations between the two countries which started in 2013.” When did they jointly develop time travel?

Jan 21st, 2013 - 05:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0INDEC supplied the data!
what no mention of the falklands? she couldnt figure out a way to mention them no matter how off topic as the norm?
Jan 21st, 2013 - 06:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder if she has ever seen a crisp shaped like the islands or perhaps her tea leaves form the shape?
I bode you continue with your people’s conquests!!
Jan 21st, 2013 - 07:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There, the cats out of the bag, Argentina c/o CFK on her future conquests,
CFK just want her very own argentine Empire,
Is this not true,..
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
She recalled that when the fall of Saigon in April 1975, “I was working and a fellow came in to tell us Saigon had fallen, which was so important for our generation”, she also admitted with a smile
[Are we to suppose that if CFK could have, she would have, brought
Argentina into the Vietnam war, against the Americans, or are we just suggesting wrongly lol.]
///////////////////////////////////
And no mention of their support for the Falklands against the British pirates,
Or was she quietly warned that to insult or infer against the islands, could we be misinterpreted by the Americans and the French, as an insult..
Still
No mention of the Falklands,
Still,
She was very happy playing [ GO APE] was she not .
.
Any truth that Kirchner was seen handing $$$$ bills to the British crew of the luxury British jet she used on HER HOLIDAYS muttering the words support me over Malvinas Support me and there's more of these$$$

Is the top photo one of her visiting Nestor at the family graveyard?
Jan 21st, 2013 - 08:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A little of topic but perhaps our Argentine friends should take a look at the BBC News and at Prince Harry interview then ask yourself WHAT DOES MAXIMO DO FOR ARGENTINA
Jan 21st, 2013 - 11:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@19 Aww don't be so hard on Maximo. He took a tour of another of Argentina's magnificent navy vessels and... Oh um...

@20
Jan 22nd, 2013 - 02:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0Of course you forgot the minor detail that the ship had already been scrapped.
With that completely incidental fact out of the way, you can continue with your lying and scurril.

That's how all the major European countries built their empires after all, lies after lies after lies. Disgusting folk.

Jan 22nd, 2013 - 03:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0“While Argentina has some problem”...Canada send terrorists around the globe.
“Two Canadians among terrorists in Algeria”
“Canadian 'co-ordinated' terrorist attack says Algerian PM”
@24 She was laid up in reserve with possible plans to make her into a museum ship.... she is one of the two largest units in the RG navy... built in the same yard as Liberturd... a masterpiece of RG workmanship etc etc...
Jan 22nd, 2013 - 03:42 am - Link - Report abuse 0She has now sunk because the RG Navee can't even look after the ships they have in reserve.
Back to your books boyo.... scrapped means turned into scrap metal.
Canada didn't send any terrorists anywhere, and so far, only unconfirmed reports of a couple of hostage-takers' bodies who may have had Canadian passports on them have been found.
Jan 22nd, 2013 - 03:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0If confirmed to be legitimate Canadian citizens, we have way more terrorists in jail and going through the courts than just those two (apparently now dead). Example:

Even before assisting France in Mali with its current Opération Serval, Canada has also been target of extremism, whether home-grown or imported:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Ontario_terrorism_plot
By the way, are Argentines who were responsible for or participated as support for the AMIA bombing in BA that killed 84 and injured hundreds on July 18, 1994 in jail yet?

Don't embarrass yourself any further.........seriously, don't.
Loving the holiday snap, looks like shes having a lovely time on our money - I say ours cos lets face it, Argentina hasn't REALLY got any money and you can bet your life she didn't use 'hers' (not even read the article yet - just seen the photo)

Yes, it is still carried on by their descendant colonists in Argentina even after we saw the error in our ways and freed our former colonies.!
I see Timerman got a public telling-off for giving CFKC false information for her speech in Vietnam- thus making her look stupid (again). I thought he was teflon Timerman.
Jan 22nd, 2013 - 11:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0@33 was it more about her 'acclaimed law career'? What did 'the awkward american' do this time?
Jan 22nd, 2013 - 11:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0Its hilarious how the blue dollar market is “illegal”, but its done in every center of every town across Argentina in broad daylight in major city center buildings in front of everyone....so clearly those dollars are going to Cristina, along with any profits attained from them. I know this from personal experience cause I was there myself, and everywhere I walked someone was offering to trade my dollars for blue rate, and I'd walk into city center buildings right in front of police and all, and “illegally” trade my dollars.
Jan 22nd, 2013 - 01:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@34 He gave her a fictitious account of the history between Argentina and Vietnam (you can make you own jokes here) and she spouted it in her speech as fact. (Too many jokes....)

Jan 22nd, 2013 - 05:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And the US still takes a neutral stance in the matter of the Falklands/Malvinas?
Jan 22nd, 2013 - 06:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Surely her remarks are a statement against the USA?
that would be up to the Americans to reply

Jan 22nd, 2013 - 09:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I will allow you this time to use Islas Malvinas instead of their correct title of the Falkland Islands.
I agree wholeheartedly with what you say - the sovereignty of the Islands are non-negotiable.
@Pirat-Hunter (44)
Jan 23rd, 2013 - 12:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0The UK has been a democracy for hundreds of years and it is thanks to the UK that Argentina is now a democracy, and yes you are quite right the Falklands arent not negotiable and will remain with the UK, which is what the islanders will no doubt decide.
What you need to start thinking about is the fact that even if the Islands were originally argentine it isnt the present days peoples fault because it would have been 180years ago!! There is no way in the modern world those peoples wishes can now be ignored, one of the best ways argentina could prove they have grown up as a nation is to leave those islanders alone in peace.
No comment on her way out the door about Vietnam's support re the Falklands or her support over the Spratlys.
Jan 23rd, 2013 - 06:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0Funny that... but then I see today that China has told Australia to keep her opinions to herself re the islands in dispute in east asia. I find these Chinese territorial claims far scarier than anything KFC can pull out of the hat..
