Disclaimer & comment rulesInteresting, so a submersable, which is powered by a Nuclear reactor, which belongs to Britain is a “double Standard.” All other countries which also have nuclear powered subs is fine.
Sep 25th, 2013 - 06:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0the usual anti-British rethoric i see.
Remind me please, were/are the Argentines trying to retro-fit a nuclear reactor to one of there sardine tins?
Double Standards just about sums it up.
I don't understand why she raised this, as it is a closed debate. No country in the world would disclose the location of their subs
Sep 25th, 2013 - 07:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0What a ridiculous woman. Even if we have sent NUCLEUR POWERED SUBMARINES to the Falklands, it is NOT latin America...it is a British Overseas territory. The rampant racism that only “latinos” can be in South America is the language of 16th century genocidal colonialism.

Keep crying Argentina. Your end is nigh at the hands of your own government.
There's a big difference between using nuclear power for propulsion and weapons of mass destruction. CFK knows this, everyone in the UN knows this.
Sep 25th, 2013 - 08:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0Anyway if Britain is militarizing the South Atlantic by have nuclear powered submarines then Brazil is aiming to do doing the same...

If she thought it through, there would be no need for UK forces in the Falklands if she acknowledged that the islands were not Argentinian.
Then forces could be withdrawn and her problem is solved.
It's just the same old cracked record hinting at desperation and despair as no one but her gives a monkey's.
The delusional woman rants again. Same old, same old theme. The frightening thing is that people actually believe that Argentina has a valid claim to the Maldives, oops, the Falklands.
Sep 25th, 2013 - 09:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0The fact is that 'a state's right under International Law to acquire an non-self-governing territory against the will of the population requires proof of continuous, important and formal ties of a political and economic nature in any instance where it has successfully defeated the right of the inhabitants to self-determination.'
When will she tell the truth?
'Questor share tip: Falkland Oil & Gas shares are a cheap exploration play - For investors willing to wait the shares look cheap as drilling is on hold for now, says Questor -
Sep 25th, 2013 - 09:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0FALKLAND Oil and Gas (FOGL) now represents an extremely cheap way into the oil exploration story off the islands. However, shareholders have been turned into penguin watchers for now as there will be little drilling activity for over a year.
The initial enthusiasm over the hydrocarbon potential around the Falkland Islands has been somewhat tempered after a series of discoveries of only sand and water. Falkland Oil and Gas had disappointments at two major prospects last year called Loligo and Scotia, after neither found commercially viable reserves of the black stuff.
The problem with exploring down in the Falklands is that there is only limited kit. The Leiv Eriksson drilling rig is shared among all the other explorers so, with each drilling project running for months, the waiting list is long...'

I doubt she would recognise the truth if it danced naked in front of her, twirling flaming batons and loudly singing 'I am the truth look at me!'
She has spent her entire adult life living on lies, and feeding those lies to her fellow countrymen. In fact, she lies so frequently and so often, that she forgets that other people have memories and can see the lies for what they are.
But she won't be around much longer. Soon the ordinary Argentinian will be too busy trying to survive from day to day to care much about anything, other than where their next meal is coming from.

Perhaps KFC is planning on sending them footballs with the Argentine flag on them? They definitely be spheres, and the flags will have Latinamerican influence. Unfortunately going by their manufacturing standards they'd be landfill within a couple of months anyway.
Dumkopf woman, doesn't understand the difference between nuclear powered and nuclear weapon. Doesn't understand the difference between defence and aggression! Truth is that she does, but insists on making an even bigger arse of herself before the whole world at the UN where RGland is regarded as a joke nation reknowned for reneging on treaties, debts and agreements. The sooner RGland dumps this stupid person and elects someone honest and sensible to lead it the sooner it can escape its present tag as a looney nation.

Sep 25th, 2013 - 12:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well, I have to agree that she is comedic. If argieland has been and is the most advanced country in latam in nuclear technology, shouldn't it be more urgent to stop Brazil trying to put a reactor in a submarine? And wouldn't it be better if Brazil started by trying to put a reactor in a vessel designed to FLOAT? And how long has it been since argieland said that it was going to put a reactor in a submarine? 1977, wasn't it?
Sep 25th, 2013 - 01:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Bit of a mistake talking about Britain “abiding repeated UN resolutions with overwhelming support, calling for negotiations on the issue of ‘our Malvinas territories’.” Not least because all those “repeated UN resolutions” are non-binding. And what does she expect to “negotiate” about ‘our Malvinas territories’? Wherever they are. Curiously, Britain has signed the treaty on non proliferation of mass destruction weapons and is a full member of the International Criminal Court. And it isn't in Rome. It's in The Hague. I wonder if she would be prepared to admit that the South Atlantic is also the Gabonese, Congolese, Angolan, Namibian, South African and West African sphere of influence? Balls. And she hasn't even got any of those. As far as we know! It might surprise her to learn that the South Atlantic isn't a “private” ocean. Obviously, she's welcome to send out her ship to enforce it if she thinks it can. It might have something of a problem as the Libertad can only do 13.5 knots compared whereas Britain's Trafalgar and Astute class submarines can do 30 knots. They can also submerge. Something the Libertad can't do. Yet. Also all our submarines are nuclear-powered. We don't have any of those outdated diesel-electric things. And I can define argieland's “sphere of influence”. Uruguay. That's it. It's the only place that doesn't say one thing and do another. Brazil has “agreements” with the UK. Chile refuels Royal Navy vessels. From time to time, so does Peru. The woman is totally divorced from reality. And a pretty poor clown!
I deem the Argentine President as a racist, a liar, a history twister, a trouble maker and a botox theif, ! oh, and a cry baby.

These two characters and me, are of course, proponents of adequately funded, adequately finance armed forces and why not.
The politicians are the last people to be in charge of funding and instead of downsizing the army et al: they should get rid of most of the MoD and the redundant admirals and other superfluous officers who have no military function as long as they do not reduce their pensions from what it would be if they retired at term.
But I really laughed when I saw which armed forces were higher in the list than the UK. The cowardly argies!!!!
It’s down to sheer numbers of course. The fact they have no ammunition for anything including battle term small arms, no proper drones, no dedicated satellites, etc. etc. seems to have been overlooked.
And then you have to consider battle experience! The argies run away FFS!
No, it’s all about embarrassing the government into doing the right thing. Some hope with the “politicians” of all stripes except perhaps UKIP.

It's like last year when the Uruguayans claimed to have spotted a British sub off their coast - which would be impossible as no British sub would surface within sight of land (unless heading for a friendly port), and Uruguay doesn't have the technology to detect submerged vessels.
What it did do though, was to send the Dear Leader into a tizzy, whilst the Uruguayans sat back and laughed their arses off at her.
It is so amusing to note that this clown has destroyed Argentina's credibility as a serious country for decades to come, and at the same time annoyed those country's (namely Russia and China) that enjoy a bit of UK bashing every now and then.
Asking them to a) reveal the location of their subs AND b) not allow them to sail in the international waters of the South Atlantic, was ridiculous, childish, ill-thoughout, and alienated potentially sympathetic countries.
But carry on Cristina. Here's to another 5 years in office where you can REALLY do some damage to Argentina.

Argentina has no evidence that any British sub has gone anywhere near Argentina or its coast and they cannot reasonable expect to dictate what vessels pass 100s of miles from their coast line.

Or have they finally abandoned their ambitions.
