    This can't be true. The whole world supports Argentina. Doesn't it?

    @2

    Surely at least the other triumphant Italo-Iberian colonial populations of South America are on their side? Or at least would claim to be?

    Sorry, where's A_Voice telling this means nothing because it's the CPA. So much less important than 20 latam faggots and their buyers.

    A mirror of the Falklands War.

    April 1982

    Argentina: We've won victory is ours!

    Britain liberates South Georgia

    Argentina: We're still winning!

    May

    Vulcan and Harriers bomb Stanley.

    Argentina:We're still winning!

    Belgrano goes down and the Argentine naval fleet have a race to see who can enter port the quickest.

    Argentina: We're winning!

    The SAS raid Pebble Island and the SAS and SBS are crawling all over West Falkland.

    Argentina; We're still winning!

    British land at San Carlos/Paras take Goose Green et etc.

    Argentina: We're still winning amigos!

    British begin final assault taking mountains overlooking Stanley

    Argentina: We're still winning!

    The Argentine forces in the Falkland Islands surrender.

    The Argentines realise they have been fed bullshit about winning right up to the date of surrender.

    14/06/1982 Argentina; We're still win errrrrrrrrrr what, we've surrendered????

    Mirrored now in 2012/2013.

    Argentina; No one accepts the Falkland Islanders rights to self determination.

    Canada and Belize do.

    In 2013, the Commonwealth does, and so so many other countries.

    Argentina: No one in the world supports the Islanders right to self determination.

    So as the MLA's keep chipping away at the great Malvinas myth, the so called 'world' support for Argentina will erode away as a slow moving river erodes the river bank, and still, right up until Independence, the scratched record will keep going, g'dum, g'dum, g'dum, ”No one in the world supports self determination for the Falkland Islands,' (repeat for the next 1000 years).

    Conqueror.

    Why are you such a loser. Did some guy make a pass at you once? Considering your age and pathetic language ability I don't think you need to worry any longer.

    You're obviously way past your virile prime.

    Homophobia, such a nice thing to witness in these enlightened times. Somewhere a fascist little cave is missing it's caveman.

    Gollum will have to come up with yet another strategy before he tells TMBOA what the decision by the CPA was.

    Otherwise it will be “off with his head”.

    What about the Commonwealth countries of the Caribbean who are members of ALBA? Was the recognition unanimous?
