“In Río Grande we have lived the war and today we live the call for peace” ~ ...dialogue is Britain’s greatest weakness. They don´t have the strength to sit and talk because rationality lies on the side of Argentina’s rights, so militarization is the only way they have. And it is also a provocation exploiting our natural resources without any government authorization. We have the strength of history, geography, the sense of belonging to Malvinas, the right over natural resources and dialogue,” this Radical mayor affirms...'

Sep 17th, 2013 - 01:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0For a start, there are major differences between the Falklands in 1982 and the Falklands today. In 1982, there were no Royal Navy warships in place. Today there are. Some are seen, some aren't. In 1982, a submarine's armament was limited to torpedos. Not today. In 1982, British land forces consisted of ~80 Royal Marines. Not today. Today, there are 1,500 combat troops with every possible munition. In 1982, Britain had no “airpower” on the Islands. Today, it does. It's 4 Eurofighter Typhoons can destroy every argie airborne “force”. And there's more. The Falkland Islands garrison can be reinforced by air. Just the ground troops, the equipment and the aircraft. Can't fly a ship out. Why don't the argies come? They've said that, but for the British garrison, they'd invade again. Do they have a problem with dying? British troops have, many times, gone into action against insuperable odds. And won! Argie “troops” would have a problem overcoming a Girl Guide troop.
Remember that it's just a novel. It's made up. Britain can waste argieland anytime. Just imagine the RAF/FAA true combat strength going into action. 400 combat aircraft. Plus surveillance, refuelling, troop reinforcement, supply. Probably be best to consider high-level cruise missile launches against military installations. Then “government” centres. Make no mistake, argieland trumpets “peaceful, democratic” methods because it knows Britain can destroy it. Hang on, Falklands. Sooner or later, argieland will make a REAL mistake. And will cease to exist.
Only a loss of 1.6 million instead of 1.9 million....and this is an exciting period?

'Falklands - The right to self-determination of peoples and the population of the islands - Eudeba just published “Malvinas - The right to self-determination of peoples and the population of the islands” by Ana Pastorino. In this paper the author argues that the UK government invokes the “wishes” of the people of the Falkland Islands to maintain ties with the “mother country” and claimed the right to “self-determination” for its residents. Following official population plan dating from 1833, when the islands were usurped to Argentina, the UK systematically transplanted the inhabitants of these islands. This company is carried out with a single purpose: to keep the British occupation of the territory. The imperialist logic that led to the incident that occurred on January 3, 1833, in which British forces expelled the Argentine authorities and inhabitants of the Falkland Islands, persists to this day. Based on this argument, the UK generates control immigration policy and land in order to build the demographic framework at the international justify the merit of the right of self-determination for a people who have been induced to declare their desire to remain British in foreign territory. Does the right to self-determination correspond to populations transplanted by the colonial power that occupied the territory by force? Is it possible that this right applies to people who do not maintain legal ties with the territory they occupy? What difference then British immigration policy formulated for the Falkland Islands and the subsequent composition of the current population in the exercise of the right of self-determination that the UK claims? Could this British behavior induce States to populate territories occupied in the hope that eventually people declare their desire to maintain ties with the mother country? And, finally, this action can then undermine British historical titles Argentine sovereignty over the Falkland Islands?'

Sep 17th, 2013 - 06:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The UN International Courts of Justice has determined that: 'A state's right under international law to acquire a non-self-governing territory under 'historical ties' is severely circumscribed. When applied the requirements are strict; it requires proof of continuous, important and formal ties of a political and economic nature in the few instances where it has successfully defeated the right of the inhabitants to self-determination.'
Has Argentina maintained continuous, important and formal ties of a political and economic nature with the Falklands?
Nah.
