Feb 05th, 2013 - 05:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Cracking article, you need to speed up a bit though, not long left now!
Feb 05th, 2013 - 05:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The worlds spokesman still has a lot of people to reach out to.
Ferkin dipshit,he has absolutely no idea how rediculous he sounds!
In the last 60 years one of these two countries has been in an on going process of decolonization and granting independence to former colonies as per the wishes of its subjects; while the other has been engaged in a process of aggressive (unsuccessful) colonial expansion.
Feb 05th, 2013 - 05:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We, your neighbors, and most of the world understand that difference. Recent history shows the UK has no imperial ambition, the same can not be said of Argentina.
Argentina you are going the wrong way at an increasing pace and with increasingly hollow rhetoric.
So the London comedy event is going well then?
Feb 05th, 2013 - 05:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The headline should read: Deluded man makes inane comments.
Feb 05th, 2013 - 05:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The only way that Argentina will ever get the Falklands will be over Britain's dead body. And we'll make sure that we take Argentina with us if that should ever look like happening.
20 years, he really is deluded.
But this is, of course, another pointless pile of crap spouted by a pointless pile of crap.
I'd lay better odds that in 20 years time Argentina will have ceased to exist, and will be 'absorbed' by Brazil, Uruguay and Chile. Who knows, even Paraguay might get its land back.
The only problem he has got is that if it is an issue about colonists, then the same issue applies to Argentina.
Feb 05th, 2013 - 05:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Is this a threat? It looks like a threat to me.
Feb 05th, 2013 - 05:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0One wonders, in fact, if Argentina will be under Argentine control within 20 years.

Oh dear god!!! Does even he believe the pile of crap that he is talking??? He is an embarrassment to his country, to his office, to his government and to himself..........

Feb 05th, 2013 - 06:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If Argentina got the islands what people would they put on them? Some indigenous ones?
@12 - MrFlagpole
Feb 05th, 2013 - 06:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Only the penguins are indigenous to the Falklands, which is why their arguments are bollocks, and one of the reasons that they won't take their little dispute to the ICJ.
Mr Timerman makes a bold statement, knowing that neither he nor the mad harpy will be in power in 2o years. In fact, it looks increasingly likely that Argentina won't exist in 20 years, so he has nothing to lose by spouting this crap.
These Argentines obviously believe that the people of Britain are as gullible as the people of Argentina, and that we'll believe any crap he spouts out.
All it has done is show that he is an imbecile, a coward, a Nazi, and definitely a man who doesn't believe in human rights.
No one in their right mind would take this man or Argentina seriously.
But I'm happy for him to keep spouting this crap. There's nothing like over stating a message to make people turn off. I mean look how much affect anti-smoking ads on cigarette packs have. This has the same impact. Everyone goes 'Not again!' and then switches to some nice music in their heads while he babbles on.
I wonder what would happen if someone else said 'Patagonia be under chinese control in under 20 years'.
Feb 05th, 2013 - 06:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It would be interesting to see how it would be interpreted by the international community. Probably as a threat.
If Argentina builds a nuclear defence program 100% made in Argentina or a fleet of stealth submarines I am sure it could be done in 10 years.

Pathetic, utterly pathetic.

It's shocking that a once sensible nation like Argentina has fallen so far, they are really now in the more with North Korea, Iran and Zimbabwe.
Hector...the islands will never be Argentian, never have been. They were a colony as was Argentina, they aren't any more.
Stop embarrassing yourself and your country.
Excellent speech and reflection Timerman:
Feb 05th, 2013 - 06:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He also rejected the referendum to be held by the government of the Falkland Islands in the future in March, designed to emphasize that the islanders want to remain part of the British Overseas Territories. He said the referendum “is something that means nothing, because if you ask people who came with colonial colonial power and changed the people living in the islands, is like asking the British people of the Falkland Islands, if they want to remain British. ”
Timerman likened to request only new Jewish settlers in the occupied territories if they want to remain Israeli.

That's brilliant, if there was any doubt about Tinman being out of his depth then this resoundingly answers that question.
Feb 05th, 2013 - 06:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0His blunders, lack of intelligent comment and ability to make a cohesive argument are one of the many reasons Argentina is in complete failure.
When you have people like this running your country, what hope is there?
Still..... he's very funny even if he doesn't realise the joke is on him!
Timerman pointed out that the number of Islanders who lived there for more than nine generations were tiny.
Feb 05th, 2013 - 06:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Does he mean that a person on the Island can live for 630 years ? If so when is the next flight. Or does he mean that they ( Islanders ) are pygmys

“Falklands will be under Argentine control within 20 years”,
Feb 05th, 2013 - 06:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0so The Falklands have 20 years to change from a self determined prosperous successful democratic country into a colonized satelite state to a rampant failed dictatorship who controls its indigenous peoples as sub human scum with no UN human rights.....
and this would be in the best interests for the Falklands population???
i guess the only democratic humane way is to ask these people what they want,
oh by the way nice carriers the UK will have, which i do believe will be in service for a lot longer than 20 years :))
And Hector will be living in a castle on the moon, and crowned king on the moon people.

Feb 05th, 2013 - 06:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Timerman is wrong, not in 20 years .. It will be a little later, because every day that passes the islands have fewer people, the children go to school and do not come back again, just return visit for Christmas .. Argentinos just have to sit and wait, in a few years we will study the archaeological remains of the islanders.
Feb 05th, 2013 - 06:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Amazing, just astounding, he has washed away the human rights of those many generations of islanders as though they don't exist and never have done, he is barking mad. Tinman has just blundered along in his bubble of self belief on his mission thinking the whole world stands squarely behind him and his Nation. Things must be worse than we thought back home if they are that desperate to get media attention on the Falklands. He sounds no better than the Malvanist trolls we get on this forum like the demented Sussie. F**cking amazing, and he calls himself a diplomat. God help Argentina.
Feb 05th, 2013 - 06:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So we have the date of the next projected invasion by the peace loving Argentinians

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA - Now I know for sure he's kidding.......
Dear Tinpotman, Did you know that your “country” has occupied the Islands for a grand total of 134 days since they were discovered. By the time your pitiful little colony rebelled against Spain, Britain had already occupied the Islands for 31,390 days. Of course, Britain claimed sovereignty over a different period. 16,790 days. Makes your 134 days look a bit sick, doesn't it? Tell us, dummy, is Canada not a country? However many resolutions there are, they are NON-BINDING. How about the BINDING resolution your country ignored? The referendum is most important, dummy. It will enable the people of the Falkland Islands to express their wishes. Britain will support those wishes, whatever it takes. And, no, Britain hasn't invaded argieland three times. At best once. And that was a naval blockade. Are you planning a long life, Tinpotman? Reckon you can make it to 260 years of age? Still won't be long enough! By the way, the Falkland Islands are a wonderful training area for all our armed forces. Look forward to seeing more of them. Lots of them!

The only people who will listen to malvinista losers like Timmerman are anti-British, poorly educated ignorant people, with a chip on their shoulder. Unfortunately there are far too many of those in the world. However, we're very experienced and adept at dealing with them.
@29 ashamed? more like a blessing as this allows for nuggets like him to provide the much needed comedy in what would be otherwise a pretty norm day in the news. I would pay to see him live... what a scream :)

The thing about encouraging free-speech and having a free parliament is that you can allow people to go there and give themselves so much figurative-rope that they hang themselves with it in front of a knowing and educated crowd.
Feb 05th, 2013 - 06:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is effectively what he did, and we should encourage him to do it again. We should also encourage some other interesting characters to do the same, and talk about 'the success of their economy' or some other easily refutable lies.

The difference is there was no one on th Falkands when the Europeans arrived, unlike that area of SA, which already had a population of REAL south americans. Now the fact that the area of south america that you call Argentina is governed by people that live in Argentina does not mean a great deal, by Argentinian logic, because 97% of you are an implanted population (by your own bizarre definition) and do not get a say in the matter.
So how about you let the real population have an election, and decide what to do with all the european userpers.
Then let's give it 20 years and see if they are bothered about having some europeans 250 miles away over the water(or even further, depending how many countries the REAL south americans decide to split the european construct Argentina into).

If they somehow did get full sovereignty and the right to colonise the islands then it would make no practical difference to the average Argentinian life. In contrast, should their diplomats hit the reboot button they would find that dealing quietly and responsibly with the outside world gets you a lot more respect and a much friendlier hearing.

Feb 06th, 2013 - 06:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0I love the fact that you keep banging on about your 100% Argentine nuclear defence programme.
It's amusing. It's very amusing, because Argentina is treading water fast, and keeps sinking under the waves. They're too busy trying to keep from drowning to care about your deluded plans.
Just to develop your nuclear weapons programme would bankrupt Argentina for the next 100 years. Plus we all know that any money the government would put towards 'developing' such a weapon would magically disappear, just like the US$2 billion investment in Argentina's airline did.
All of it sitting in various off-shore bank accounts of CFK and her cronies.
With the rampant corruption is Argentina, they will be lucky to build on new military vessel, let alone develop a completely new weapons system.
Keep dreaming Alex, because like your claims to the Falklands, it's just a fantasy.
Just like Mr Timerman's claims that the Falklands would be under Argentina's rule in 20 years time, a fantasy, said to try and distract the people who live in Argentina (not you though is it Alex), who are increasingly not giving a damn about the Falklands as they are too busy trying to survive from day to day.
There is a greater chance that Argentina will cease to exist in 20 years than in it ever gaining sovereignty over the Falklands.

You talk of justice, how about a country that owns vast amounts of land bullying a small group of people 300miles away for their land that have been settled since before you were even called Argentina, is this justified.
You miss the point about modern laws and practices, it does even matter if Argentinas versionof history is true, the fact is, it isnt the modern day islanders fault if it were and 180 years is too late.

Also why is Timerman calling the people born on Islands Argentine? What does that mean? If argentina get the Islands would kick everyone out who wasnt born there out? This is starting to sound like a certain German guy isnt it?
The article is excelent, however it's necesary to say also that in a small interview that he gave for our public television, he said that if the u. k starts to respect u. n's resolutions, the islands will be under argentine sovereignty within 20 years.
Feb 07th, 2013 - 06:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Although i don't agree with some of timerman's opinions in relation to this question, i must recognize that he's a great chancellour.
He committed some omisions when he mentioned the british occupation of the islands in 1833. Actualy not all the population was expealed, but all those who wanted to be taken to buenos aires, with commander pinedo, who was deprived by onslow of exercising our sovereign rights over the islands.
On the other hand, i must recognize that i feel so ashamed every time i heard some of our politicians saying that the right to self determination is not applicable for the islanders, because they are not an originary population, that's a hipocrite argument, because most us aren't originary populations either. If the right to self determination is not applicable for the islanders, it's because argentina was deprived from the islands in 1833, and the u. k. has never let it to exercise it's legitimate sovereign rights.
Beside, a lot of ignorant people in this forum who know so little about our constitution, recur to the genocide that the argentine state committed when it occupied the patagonia, with the purpose of manifesting that argentina's claim over the islands is hipocrite. However, what many of you ignore is that our const. includes the claims and the rights of the originary populations, which is a true historic reparation. That's something that the u. k. has never made for arg., for having deprived it from the archipelago cowardly in 1833, the same cowardice of the argentine military invasion of 1982, anyway i know perfectly that it won't make it, because unfortunatelly, like it or not, such an admirable nation like the u. k., in some aspects still behaviours like the same thief of XIX century.

The fact remains that there isnt much historical proof or documents for either case really, when you look at it France and Spain could still claim but they dont. The channel islands are much closer to France than the UK but France dont try to claim them.
There is no more colonisation in the world, but we have to live with the aftermath, the UK doesnt have an issue giving the ill gotten lands back and has done decades ago. Argentina only started trying their luck after WW2, when the UK started giving back land.
The borders of coutries in the world were frozen after WW2 and for good reason, because if you start turning back the clock the worlds countries would look very different, there has to be a time when a line is drawn.
Im not sure what argentina are trying to do with this policy of causing as much trouble as possilbe for the UK, they dont have the military capability to escalate the matter further and it is making argentina look silly. Most countries are probably bored of hearing about the windswept rocks now after all there no benefit to them now matter who owns them.

Your right, in 1974 i think the UK government were trying to get rid of the islands because they didnt want the expense of keeping them, this isnt an admission that argentina have a owenership case. The islanders protested and thats when the UK broke off the talks and shortly after argentina invaded.
I do recall that the Argentine forces were told not to kill any of the few soldiers that were there, which they suceeded in doing, i think ? A bigger issue is they were forcing the unarmed people out of their houses at gun point, this wont be forgotten.
The problem now is that the past invasion has changed the situation, it cannot be ignored. Argentina didnt respond to binding UN resolutions then and surely they shouldnt now be preaching about non binding UN ones to the UK?
The modern world is now that people decide what they want, if Scotland want out of the UK they will get it, if Gibraltar want to be part of Spain they will have it. Chechnya wanted freedom to do what they want and fought for against a mighty enemy and won, it shows that you cant force your will on people these days.
If the war hadnt happened and argenina were less agressive, i think alot of argenines could be on the islands right now if they wanted and would probably want freedom of their own right now, the Islands will split from the UK completly one day, imho
I remember reading an Argentine soldiers account of his time there and after the initial joy of capturing something he had thought was part of argentina. He thought it was horrible windy cold place were he wouldnt want to live and it was nothing like his homeland and nothing of Islands showed anything remotely Argentine. He picked up a nail on the road and it said “made in England” he looked around and thought, “Who are the invaders” he then thought to himself, “i am the invader here.”
It is difficult to see a solution that will please all here, and that usually ends in force which it already has.

QUOTE from the attack on Moody Brook given by Royal Marines
It is my contention that the attack on Moody Brook Barracks was nothing less than an attempt to get the drop on the Royal, by killing them all as they slept.
Moody brook was attacked and trashed in a classic attack to kill everyone in there. I visited moody brook a few weeks :) later and it had all the signs of a firefight albeit a one sided one. I know major Norman he is a no nonsense down to earth sort of bloke, he moved 8901 out as no doubt because if he was attacking he would had gone for the Det first as well.

Feb 09th, 2013 - 05:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“and argentina's sovereign rights.”
This is the impartial rational view of Argentines legal claim.
Developments in International Law Vol 40: The Falklands/Malvinas Case |Roberto C. Laver
84/ Breaking the Deadlock
A few scholars take the position that Argentina never acquired more than an “inchoate” title over the islands, suggesting that “when Argentina claimed and subsequently occupied the Islands and established a settlement there, she acquired a de facto sovereignty and an inchoate claim to sovereignty based on expectancy. Argentina attempted to perfect her claim but was prevented from doing so by both the United States and England.”74 ... ...proponents of this line of reasoning argue that administrative control over the islands by Vernet was weak and that there was no exercise of state functions by Argentina regarding the islands. It has also been argued that the process of Argentina's achievement of independence was not concluded in either in 1820 or 1832, due to the fact that it had not been formally recognized by Spain. Therefore Argentina could acquire at best a temporary title to the islands, and British actions in 1832 prevented it from perfecting that title.
86/ Breaking the Deadlock
Could an act of force, such as Britain's seizure of the islands in 1833, constitute a legal basis for title to territory? And if so, under what conditions? Britain has understandably never officiallv advanced the concept that the islands were acquired by conquest or subjugation, which would implicitly admit that the 1833 occupation was an act of pure force.
There are, however, scholars, such as Greig, who support a British title on the basis of conquest or subjugation. As he explains, conquest without any act of formal annexation has been accepted as a basis for title by a majority of writers, though some authors have distinguished the military act of conquest from the legal act of subjugation, which requires annexation or the long exercise of governmental

On the other hand, if arg. and the u. k. are called by the u. n. to resume the negotiations, it should be respected by both nations.
If we want to discuss about something so complicated like politic issues are, it's necesary to have intellectual honesty, otherwise, we'll be parroting propaganda.
The paragraphs dated by terence are very interesting, in fact, i have always thought that the case has strong and weak aspects for both parts of the conflict.
Our sovereign rights have always been legitimate, due to they were based on the sucession of states, which is applied to all the emancipatted colonial territories, beside, although spain had never ceaded any sovereign right to the u. p., our country had right to declare it's independence, and occupy the territories which were under the jurisdiction of the viceroalty.
In the case of the u. k., i have always thought also that perhaps the u. k. had right to occupy the islands, in virtue of it's occupation of port egmont between 1766 and 1774, or in virtue of the secret article that had been included in the nootka sound convention, signed in 1790 between spain and the u. k., however, if it had any sovereign right over the islands, it should have negotiated a solution with the u. p., or share the sovereignty with it, instead of depriving our country of exercising it's sovereign rights, that was a totally coward act, the same cowardice used by the criminal junta, when it ordered to invade the islands, and take advantage of the vulnerable situation of the islanders.
the nootka document was signed with Spain and not argentina and includes reference to any 3rd party. There was alater ducment signed by Argentina which states there were no issues between the 2 nations. Spain didnt have all rights to islands

ALEX VARGAS was raised in a poor immigrant neighbourhood in Toronto, Canada - his high school, Vaughn Road Acadamy, is one of the worst schools in the city and known for crime and violence.
ALEX has a massive chip on his shoulder from being raised in this environment - quite deranged!!
He is a Kirchnerist and will tell you that CFK is the best president since Peron.
He says that he chooses not to go back to Argentina because the British are there and ruining his country.
In earlier posts he said he was not able to return to Argentina.
I will post a link to his FaceBook page unless he has shut it down.
The british have been in the falklands since 1592,

silly doppy argies .lol.
ALEX VARGAS is listed as a 'friend' on the La Campora Juvenil FB site.
Feb 10th, 2013 - 07:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Feel free to check out his FB profile. You will see that he is our own, “Pirat-Hunter”.
He is also a friend of several other La Campora sites,
La Campora Jachál
La Campora Ochoa
Nacionalista Unidos Entre Rios Nacionalista
Peronismo Nacionalista
and more.
Oh wow Troy!
Feb 11th, 2013 - 12:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I just looked. So easy to find. Went to the La Campora Juvenil site and found Alex Vargas.
At first I wondered why Alex's privacy settings were so loose. But then I saw his pic and the dozen ones of his pigeons and it all made sense. Unless I add someone, no one can even find my profile on Facebook.
Anyway it all makes sense now. His profile makes him out to be mid to late 30s though his pic looks mid 40s. I guess that is what being an unskilled labourer does to you. His language and logic skills show his lacks of intelligence level for much more than he already is.
Like you I'm confused as to why he doesn't live in Argentina, but considering the state of the Argentine economy it's not surprising. What would he do? Poor in Canada is middle class in Argentina.
It funny actually. There's an Argentine girl downstairs have dinner with my Colombian flatmate at the moment. Her English is amazing though I can speak to her in Spanish. She loves her new country.
Must be a reason why so many Argentineans leave. But she's a welcome addition to Australia.
Sorry Canada, you got Alex.
(My Colombian flatmate's English is already superior to Alex's and he only started learning 2 years ago!)

Feb 11th, 2013 - 04:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I never said that spain had all the rights, in fact, if i recognize that perhaps the u. k. had right to occupy the islands, in virtue of the secret article which had been included in the nootka sound convention, or in virtue of it's occupation in port egmont for 8 years (1766-1774), is because i have never considered that spain or the u. k., or the u.p had absolutly all the rights.
For all these reasons, i have always said that if the u. k. had any right, it should have negotiated a solution with the u. p., or share the sovereignty, instead of depriving our country of exercising it's rights.
The case is interesting, but very complicated, and it's necesary to make an ample analysis of the rights of all the parts.
On the other hand, many people in this forum, and the govt. from the islands accuse arg. of pretending just one outcome, which according to their anaysis, that so called outcome is based on a total submission of the sovereignty of the islands to arg., which actualy is absolutly false, in fact, c. f. k. before the u. n. last year, a secret proposal treated between arg. and the u. k. in 1974, which refered to a shared administration of the islands, that proposal took into account the wishes of the islanders, and argentina's sovereign rights.
Beside, the president had said in different oportunities before the u. n., that arg. is not asking the u. k. to recognize that the islands are argentina, it just asks to dialogue about it. However, if after these facts, the govt. from the islands, and many people in this forum insist with that stupid accusation, is because actualy they are just speculating.
On the other hand, at the same time that they accuse arg. of pretending just one outcome, the govt. from the islands manifests that it's disposed to discuss about different issues with arg., but not about the sovereignty, which is the main problem, isn't it pretending just one outcome too?, this doble standar shows their hipocresy.

Hague agreed to meet and have a 'dialogue' as Timerman asked. Timerman refused.
End of your argument. End of your negotiations.

Feb 11th, 2013 - 11:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0yes very complex indeed
The 1974 discussions were behind the islanders backs and the UK didnt really want want the islands because they cost money. This doesnt mean argentina had a rightful claim, it means the UK were tryng to pass on an unwanted and costly toy, the islanders protested and the UK had to cave in and give them a voice.
I still fail to see how the current policies of argentina is helping this issue, and over time it depends who is in power, a previous leader was sending them xmas cards etc.
So you saying that at best argenintas case is for dual ownership?

Feb 12th, 2013 - 01:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You say - “For all these reasons, i have always said that if the u. k. had any right, it should have negotiated a solution with the u. p., or share the sovereignty, instead of depriving our country of exercising it's rights.”
The United Provinces had no rights to the Falkland Islands, who at the time were the subject of joint sovereignty claims of the UK and Spain. Spain did not acknowledge the independence of ANY of its South American colonies until at least 1863.
So the United Provines had NO legal or VALID claims to the Falkland Islands in 1833. What the UP tried was a land grab. I might've worked, but they didn't count on the UK protecting it's sovereignty claim.
So in late 1832, the UP sent troops to the Falkland Islands.
In early 1833, HMS Clio arrived to remove these illegal troops, and what did they find? A garrison that had mutinied, murdered their commanding officer, and raped his wife.
Not exactly a solid argument for a sovereignty claim, is it?
In fact, the actual colonists, whose community dates back to about 1825, remain on the Islands voluntarily under British rule AND protection.
The United Provinces NEVER returned to the Falklands, despite the only defence being Matthew Brisbane armed with a Union flag.
What does that really say about the validity of any claim from the UP?
Not only that, but even if the UP had a tenuous claim, that does not translate into Argentina automatically inheriting that claim. The United Provinces no longer exist, and therefore, any sovereignty claim died with them.
But thank you for admitting that Argentina didn't exist in 1833, and therefore all your sovereignty claims are as bogus as an INDEC statistic.
You and your fellow Argentines better brace yourselves for huge disappointments ahead. In 20 years time the Falklands will still not be Argentinian, and Argentina itself will probably have ceased to exist, just like the United Provinces did.

Feb 12th, 2013 - 05:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Re: your visit to ALEX VARGAS FB site
Quite an eye-opener isn't it!!
He has removed much of the direct La Campora imagery, but it is very obvious that he follows their guidelines and agendas.
Even more disturbing were the photos of Taliban snipers and machine gun operators firing on Canadian US and British patrols and civilian targets - all in the name of “anti-Western Imperialism”!
I agree, he must be a real under-achiever, if not a total dunce.
However, from his FB site, it appears that he makes a living as a well-paid TV/movie set-builder or carpenter, from time to time. Great casual work with short term goals and little responsibility.
He admits on this forum, that he lives off the grid as much as possible - no mortgage, no credit cards. No listed address?? Lives with a SA girlfriend in Toronto.
One thread on FB included pics of him drunk in a hotel room somewhere where his employer put him up. This, I gathered, was unusual for him ( no credit card, remember) - the grinning fool was proudly showing off to his mother and family. Mom replied in Spanish, “ you are just like an Executive!”
BTW, I arrived at the same conclusions you did. And... love those pigeon pics!!
Speaking of which, I think his English is usually not bad, but he gets lazy and to add credibility to his pretence of being a 'real' Argentine, he resorts to a form of Pidgin English, like an Argentine washroom attendant at the now-closed Cruise Terminals.

Argentina = North Korea without the Nukes.
Now I know what “Pirat-Hunter” is on about!

Feb 12th, 2013 - 11:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Alex Vargas might believe he's off the 'radar' but I'll bet he's on the watch list of the Canadian security forces and the FBI.
He's probably also on a 'no-fly' list too, which he why he can't leave Canada and return to his 'beloved' Argentina. He can't drive to Argentina, because the US would be very unlikely to give him a travel Visa to enter the US.
Poor Alex, a complete under achieving no-hoper.

I really hope so.
I don't care what his political or ideological convictions are.
However, as someone who seeks refuge in Canada, only to turn around and spread lies and hate, to threaten the homes and lives of innocent people - I feel he deserves to be exposed and suffer the harshest retribution.

Feb 13th, 2013 - 02:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0TROY and SCOTT: Let me remind you that there is not any resolution which includes the govt. from the islands as a third part. So, there is nothing to discuss with them. Accepted or not, the case is bilateral, between arg. and the u. k., anyway, it doesen't mean that the wishes of the islanders can't be taken into account, and find a solution that respects their wishes, and argentina's sovereign rights, if you have no capacity to understand that the sovereignty is the main problem, sorry, but we it will be very difficult to debate about a fair solution for both parts.
LEPRECOM: Respecting the historic aspects of this conflict, read my comment 191.
On the other hand, the arguments that you express to reject argentina's sovereign rights over the islands in 1833 are inconsistent.
Let me remind you that the discovery just gives a precarious title, which must be improved with a premanent occupation, in that comment i explain the reasons why i think that perhaps the u. k. had right over the islands too.
The u. p. didn't need spain's licence to declare their independence, in same way that it had right to exercise thier sovereign rights over the mainland, they had right to exercise their rights over the soledad island too (actual east falkland), where spain had exercised it's sovereignty for 45 years. The fact that arg. didn't exist in that moment is irrelevant, the country just changed it's name, but it doesn't mean that it lost it's rights.
Oh but you are so wrong, Axel-baby.
Feb 13th, 2013 - 07:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina has no rights here. None, zilch, de nada.
This is NOT your country & we will NOT discuss Sovereignty with you.
How many times do you have to be told this?
l don't think that you are the full quid.
You didn't lose your rights Axel, you just never had any rights, here, EVER.
Argentina has NO RIGHTS in the Falkland lslands.
Accept it, you know that its true.

Feb 14th, 2013 - 12:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0The resolutions are not binding, its what the UN would like to happen rather than war. Argentina seem to wrongly think it means some kind of support for their claim, it doesnt!
If France suddenly started claiming rights the islands and going to the UN they would say the same thing, the UN isnt' there to judge matters like this and will always call on parties to discuss issues. it means NOTHING and thats why it is NOT binding.
