Malvinas: Argentina calls UK a lion that 'no longer frightens' and insists on dialogue
In a long statement recalling the 181st anniversary of the 'usurpation of our Malvinas, South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands and the adjoining maritime spaces' (almost three million square kilometers) the Argentine Foreign ministry contrasts Buenos Aires peaceful, dialogue attitude with the verbal aggressiveness from British officials when referring to the Malvinas issue.

Jan 03rd, 2014 - 11:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If your not frightened of us, feel free to try invading again... We may not be overly keen on fighting in Afghanistan, but just see what happens if you attack British territory.
Jan 04th, 2014 - 12:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0Have to agree with darragh- Everything argentina says is just repetitive boring shite.

Not all, but the majority of them for sure.
So here he is again snapping his braces, and parping on his klaxon, and we're supposed to believe at a) he's a diplomat and b) he just wants to negotiate something from us.
Jan 04th, 2014 - 12:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0It's all very entertaining, and quite remarkable that anybody should fall for it, even within Argentina.
But surely the time has come for somebody to tip a bucket of cold water down his trousers?
Looks like the Argentine government once more prefers to spend its time propagating nonsense rather than address the severe problems it has in its country. You know you're desperate when you start quoting newspapers and making stuff up about the UK ignoring resolutions whilst the head of the UN states very clearly the UK is not in breach of a single resolution.
Jan 04th, 2014 - 12:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0And if that isn't bad enough the only resolution broken in the past 50 years was the one the Argentine's broke with the illegal invasion.
Oh the hilarity!
Is it that time of the year again already?
Jan 04th, 2014 - 12:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0Other quotes include
Jan 04th, 2014 - 01:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0“The Falklands referendum - ”a misnomer“, he said - was a violation of such UN resolutions which did not afford the islanders the right to self-determination. ”
Britain had “no moral authority” when it came to ending colonialism, Mr Timerman said, claiming it was the country that had most often ignored UN rulings.
“He accused Britain of ”an escalation of verbal attacks“ on Argentina during a year in which it also ”issued threats to several independent countries“ - notably Syria. ”
The UK“ no longer frightens” Argentina?
Jan 04th, 2014 - 01:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0Great! Invade our islands then I dare you.
Don't the Argentine Foreign Ministry realise they're repeating the very words said by one Leopoldo Fortunato Galtieri 30-odd years ago, just before he sent hundreds of his countrymen to their death?
Jan 04th, 2014 - 02:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0Hector understands the psychology of prestige, but they have really not dared to do anything Britain need respond to.
Jan 04th, 2014 - 02:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0Spain on the other hand, with their illegal fishing and Garda incursions, firing upon Gib. civilians, and illegal border hold ups, that is provocation UK needs to respond to.
I can see why they don't, though. With Spain in crisis, it would be a great national unifying issue were a foreign power to retaliate to Spain by military force.
Just what Rajoy needs.
Perhaps the UK should start supporting the Catalonians at the UN, in their fight for a Referendum and Self Determination.
What are the Argentines waiting for then? Come pet the nice kitty.......

In 30/40 years if there is any justice the members of your current govt will either be deceased or disgraced, the names Timmerman and Kirchner consigned to the dustbin of history. Where they belong.
The Arana Southern Treaty, ratified in 1850 by Argentina and the UK, clearly settled the matter of the Falklands/Malvinas once and for all. In this treaty Argentina tacitly recognised British sovereignty over the archipelago.

Well the UK may be a lion that “no longer frightens” BUT this February Timermam sure has hell demonstrated that 2 (TWO!) democratically elected representatives of 3 (THREE) thousand (just 3, THREEm zeros after the first number 3) self-determining people, were enough to scare the poop out of him, and make him turn and run away like the coward he is from hosted and catered talks AND the same UN resolutions he always lies about.

Not to mention the fact that those naughty 3000 VOTED once again to say “NO!” to that 43 million “strong” country. And you know what? Golly gee whiz, no one stopped them... no one sent in a task force to teach those rebels and international law-breakers a lesson, and heck they can even visit countries in South America who are a-gazillion (add as many zeros as you please, ironic that!) percent behind Argentina's “right” to stand on their faces -- and they dare do it with absolute impunity from those so-called supportive countires.
And how much of a stupid gullible bleating Malvanazi do you have to be to swallow down and praise such sniveling cowardice and weakness like a carton of chunky milk? Oh... Hi, Marcus!

The biggest laugh of all is that Argentina simply does not know when they are acting like a complete prat.
CFK prattled on at the G20 meeting in Russia for nearly an hour on Argentina progresses in democracy, not even noticing that no-one else was listening and they were busily using their I-Pads to keep themselves amused. After that complete waste of time, I don't believe there is any doubt amongst the other leaders that Argentina has to be removed from the G20 - not only because they have failed financially to meet the criteria for being a member - but primarily because they elect complete imbeciles to be their leaders.
As the others have pointed out, there is no doubt that the ICJ would rule in favour of the Islanders...
So Argentina must be a country of cowards if they refuse to take the dispute to the ICJ.

Jan 04th, 2014 - 02:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@2/5/24/32/45 et al, chest-beating and rejoinder aside, Argentina's claims of territorial integrity w.r.t. the questions of the Falkland Islands are fallacy and without merit
Jan 04th, 2014 - 02:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentine's claims could never succeed in the free court of the UN ICJ where the merit of their claims cannot be substantiated by the test of evidence
The UN principle and concept of Territorial Integrity & National Unity & disruption applies the the borders of member states and overseas territories as extant on 24th October 1945 when the UN Treaty came into force; many of these member states possess overseas territories and the treaty applies equally to these in terms of sovereign territorial integrity
Applying the principle of Territorial Integrity to the Question of the Falkland Islands would refer to the succession of the Falklands Islands from British sovereignty & its effect on British territorial integrity and British national unity
The fact is Argentine has never possessed any right of territorial integrity and the pretensions of the Republic of Argentina regarding the British territories of Falkland Islands, South Sandwich Islands, South Georgia, the South Orkneys, South Shetlands, Graham Land and Coats Land
Argentina's encroachments and pretended acts of sovereignty in or relative to any of those territories are, under international law, illegal and invalid and always have been
The fact is the only country with territorial integrity and national unity rights regarding the Falkland Islands and its one-time dependencies is Great Britain
Indeed, the UN and its members explicitly upheld British de facto and de jure territorial integrity on the Question of the Falkland Islands, when the UN Security Council issued Resolution 502 determined that there existed a breach of the peace in the region of the Falkland Islands and demanded an an immediate withdrawal of all Argentine forces from the Falkland Islands

Jan 04th, 2014 - 02:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You possess a somewhat odd attitude towards immigrant populations over indigenous people when your own Argentinian country is a nation of immigrants who exterminated the indigenous people. You yourself must be from European stock.
You appear also ignorant of the fact that recent arrivals to a country are frequent amongst the most patriotic of people. Many (not all of course) immigrants and their families from Pakistan, Poland and elsewhere, who have settled in Britain, are immensely loyal towards their new country. They are best able to appreciate Britain’s traditions of liberty, freedom and parliamentary democracy in comparison to the sadder experience of their own countries.
A good example would be Somalian born but now British Olympic gold medal winner Mo Farah, who is famously loyal and patriotic towards the country which has offered him a welcome, and freedom and opportunities unavailable in the country of his birth.
Hector Timermans father; Jacob Timerman must be turning in his grave at his sons hysterical antics. Is this any way for a country’s Foreign minister to behave? Some of his claims are blatant lies. There was no usurpation in 1833. The islands of South Georgia and the South Shetlands have been British since the 1770’s. Its absurd for Argentina to falsely claim they were stolen from Argentina.
Jacobo was a man of honour, dignity and immensely brave. He was a journalist of the highest traditions who possessed enormous respect for Britain and its institutions like the BBC.
His son however brings nothing but shame and ridicule upon himself, family name and country.
So, if there is “broad support” in the world for Argentina’s position on this, then a resolution in the UN GA calling on Britain to negotiate sovereignty with Argentina, will soon be forthcoming.

Ha, ha, ha.
The facts about the “discovery” of the islands are largely ignored by the Argentine, either due to convenient nationalism or to plain ignorance. However, that the British and the French, and even the Portuguese had 'sighted' the islands in the late 16th century is a well known, historical fact. While seamen and seal hunters of various nationalities used the islands as a safeport during this period and later, it was probably the Brits who made their presence on the islands more than just a vague claim, and named the islands after Lord Falkland. Then the Brits were ousted by the Spaniards who, if not mistaken, ceded the islands to the French as a war settlement...thus the name Malvines....then the Brits took the islands back. Through all this, at no point did the 'then' provinces which are Argentine 'today', actively participate militarily in securing the islands for themselves, other than an attempt in the early 19th century (shortly after gaining independence from Spain), to establish a colony, which did not succeed. In 1832 the Brits decided it was time to take the islands back and that's how it's remained until today, 181 years later. The fact that the “kelpers” recently chose to remain under British rule, and not that of Argentina, simply demonstrates their good sense....and the reason why Argentine presidents , every now and again, rear their ugly heads and claim that the islands belong to Argentina, and try to force the issue through diplomatic channels, is because first, they know they'd get their asses whipped if they tried any other way, and two, to distract the Argentine population from the utter chaos they have created internally. And stupid claims that the situation will be different in 30 or 40 years, and that the Brits will be 'obliged' to 'return' the islands, is just a load of b.s., because in 30 or 40 years from now, the threats to world peace (already in the making) will make the Argies claim insignificant...

Argentina is bankrupt not only in monetary sense but also in terms of a different approach. The futile campaign of aggression and harrassment helps to maintain Argentina's status as an international pariah.

What expats are you referring to I guess some on here may be from UK who are currently working and living for a few years in South America. We exen have some form Uk here that come for a couple of years doing a job there is no Islander for at the time, mostly senior proffessionals as any small community of 3000 does not produce that many Doctors-Scientists-Engineers!
So I would suggest you are wrong- S.America DOES need these expats- wherever they come from, otherwise they would not have been recruited would they!
Same as we in the Islands recruit the ones we need.

The Empire no longer exists, spotty Stevie, because we no longer want it...unlike Spain, or France, our colonies didn't have to fight for freedom. We either returned them peacefully to the indigenous people or granted self determination to those where mass migration had given a new majority.
The remnants are those territories too small to be independent, or those which still wish for our help against bullying belligerent neighbours.
I am sorry this doesn't fit with your racist hatred Stevie.
If you hate colonialism as you claim...you should love Britain....as it is the ONLY Empire that was freely and voluntarily dismantled into working democracies run by the people who live there.
Your country is far more a product and bad example of colonialism than the Falklands....unfortunately you are too thick to see it.

Yet all Argentina can do is rehash the same old, same old, which the world now just ignores, and squeak lamely at the British lion, of which it isn't frightened of, it is PETRIFIED of.
But don't worry, the Chinese will save you all from poverty and corruption...just like they have saved all those countries in Africa...oh wait a minute.
You should remember something about the Chinese, Stevie. They only care about China. They want your resources for their own people. They don't give a damn whether the people of Argentina, or South America as a whole live or die. The same as they don't care whether the people in Africa live or die.
They are their for the resources only, and all the important well paid jobs are being done by Chinese officials. The poorly paid, unskilled jobs have been given to the locals. POORLY PAID. No minimum wage. Workers are a dime a dozen in these places. All the Chinese do is bung some money to the corrupt officials and carry on sucking these countries dry.
I guarantee that the Chinese will willingly do business with the Falklands for the oil, if it were offered to them. They don't care about your little fairy tales.
China cares about China.
I know the Chinese only cares for themselves, but they PAY for what they want, they don't steal it invading sovereign nations.

@59 Correction. The Spanish didn't cede the Islands to the French. When the French “settled” the Islands had already been British for 74 years. The French SOLD their settlement to the Spanish. Then the Spanish tried to oust the British. That attempt lasted about 6 months. They didn't like Britain's offer to give them a full-scale war in exchange.
Jan 05th, 2014 - 01:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@70 And which of those commenting are in SA? Do you have figures? Are you concerned that the Falkland Islanders seem to have worldwide support? This must be a first. Argieland (not known to have told the truth at any time since 1920) has worldwide and overwhelming support for its claim to the Falkland Islands. At the same time, Britain doesn't seem to wander around the world “claiming” the Falkland Islands. There's a principle known as Occam's Razor. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. Argieland misses NO opportunity to trumpet its “claim” and claim support. Britain says little except to tell the Falklanders that they will be defended. Why is it that it is invariably argies that “announce” that x country supports them?
@84 At last we're getting to the roots of the monomania. There IS a place for a British military base in the South Atlantic. It's called the Falkland Islands. There are “outposts” at South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. South America is indeed a geographical area. North America is also a geographical area. But it has 23 countries in it! By any intelligent definition, the Islands are NOT South American. They are Islands in the Atlantic. But it's nice to hear that the Islanders won't have to talk to you. EVER. So why don't you shut up?
@93 So you're a “traveller”. We have such scum here as well. They get “moved on”. Because they are criminals.
@120 We may have made an error. In its efforts to appear squeaky clean, argieland needed to be seen as “multicultural”. How better than to appoint a foreigner as “foreign minister”? So what if he's a dozy dimwit?

The piece does its best to garner together all the nationalistic elements seen in the recent past under the malignant banner that is Roca. Everything is there:
YPF
Vaca Muerta
Anti USA feelings
Bravado about Chile
Rabid sentiments against the indigenous Indians who suffered under Roca though this is very much downplayed
And of course Roca’s defeat was not at the hands of the indigenous Indians but by the dastardly Indians from Chile and it was they that did it for the “Tehuelches” aka Mapuche, so Roca was a good guy after all.
But for me the sting is in the tail! If things had been left at the Black River whole areas that were “ownerless” were now (and to some of the claim, always had been) Argentine. Miraculous event, I am surprised that it is not Saint Roca. :o)
The argies could even, as a result of this “new” occupation (that kills the claim it was always Argentine) also claim Antarctic territory AND the islands in the South Atlantic.
Good colonialist and saint then: Roca.

The Qin dynasty wars themselves ran riot over the whole of China, killing millions in the process of creating a coherent 'nation' - hence Qin's need for the Terracotta Army!
For the last 2,000 years, the screwing down of the populations of China has been the central feature. The massed battles of the regional warlords are reprised in Akira Kurosawa's Ran - itself a reprise of Hamlet; but the massive killings were just part of Chinese life since they entered what today we call civilization. That's why Mao Zedong's slaughters passed without more comment - the land had been saturated in the blood of many centuries, and the peoples have bee - for millenia - conditioned to it.

Jan 06th, 2014 - 01:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0The funniest thing of all is that back when Argentina declared independence from Spain, they actually asked to JOIN Great Britain.
They wanted the British to station troops and ships in their country, to protect them from Spain. To stop Spain trying to recover their empire. Only Britain already had Spain as an ally in the war against Napoleon, so they could not do anything that upset their new Spanish friends.
The United Provinces actually wanted to join the British Empire. They honestly believed that their rights would be better served within the British Empire, as protection against their old masters.
Not surprising really. They had masses of trade with Great Britain. Lots of British merchants lived in the United Provinces and they were very wealthy people. The United Provinces saw it as a way of getting rich quick. They probably reasoned that the British would forget the Baring debt, build even more trade and expand the country.
In some ways, I suspect that a lot of the Argentine hostility comes from this 'unrequited love'. That the Argentines still admire Britain more than they do Spain, but would be embarrassed to admit this.
In truth, the Argentines admired the British Empire, admired the fact that Britain was the strongest nation and wanted to be a part of the Empire family.
There are many nations that would love to join the Commonwealth. I suspect that the United States would like to be a part of it too, but they can never throw off the fact that they split away in 1776. Sure the Americans make out that they hated the Red Coats and the 'tyrannical government' of King George. But in truth, all the Americans wanted was recognition and a say in the way the Empire was run. Like a child asserting their individuality, they had to 'leave home' to become independent.
So Argentina still regrets that they never joined the Empire, because if they had, then the Falklands might have been protected BY them, but still be independent OF them.
Seeing as the Queen has been awarded the Order of San Martin by Argentina - I reckon Gollum's lining that one up-he's trying everything possible short of going to the ICJ...

@131 It's not a problem. I do enjoy ripping new holes in arses. Anybody with an intelligence quotient over 50 would define you, based on your comments, as an arse. Occasionally your comments are so nonsensical and full of gibberish that no response is possible. But I'm quite happy to spend time showing the world what a brainwashed, ignorant, xenophobic, stupid twat you are. I'm retired. After a lifetime of productive activity turning criminals into prisoners, I'm happy to add my small effort to illustrating how you have nothing constructive, instructive, intelligent or useful to say. Constructive argument or discussion with you? Not a chance. You can't even come up with intelligent, substantive or reliable, checkable facts. And there's a difference between education and intelligence. It's often been said that, given enough effort and time, a roomful of monkeys with typewriters could reproduce all the works of Shakespeare. You're with the monkeys. All that you come out with is a slightly evolved version of the bile, hatred, lies and xenophobia of your masters. And mistress. And so I “disagree” with you. Because what you come out with is fatuous and not worth the time you spend typing it. And, given your tone, you can have the insult and invective as well. In 1982, 255 very courageous MEN lost their lives in the process of kicking your cowardly, criminal pals off OUR territory. Territory that the UN had already told them to get off.

I must recognize that i feel really ashamed when i read that kind of comments, because they are too pathetic.
It's not new in absolut the fact that both countries tell just what is convenient for them before international scenarios. The malvinas case, is a very complicated cause, which has strong and weak aspects for both countries, in fact, i have discussed in this forum a lot about the historic aspects of this conflict, beside, i agree on a proposal of dialogue between both nations, including with the lawmakers from the islands, but what really annoys me, is their hypocritical complaint, in relation to the lack of dialogue with arg., i say it's hypocritcal because every time they ask for a dialogue, they manifest that they are disposed to talk about different issues, but not about the sovereignty, which is the main problem, so, they dont want a dialogue, what they want is argentina's submission.
C. f. k. was very clear when she read before the u. n., in june of 2012, the secret proposal of 1974 discussed between both nations, which was based on a shared sovereignty, this fact destroys the distorted interpretation that the lawmakers from the islands always do, about argentina's posture.
In my opinion, i think that the only one way to finish with this humbled situation for arg., is to take the case to the arbitration, as it was suggested by arg. in 1884 and 1888, but rejected by the u. k., or as it was manifested by britain in 1947, in relation to the case of the dependencies from the islands.
After that year, neather arg., nor the u. k. proposed again to take the question to the arbitration, perhaps both aren't sure of getting a positive result, if the cause is discussed at the court.

And you know what else? We here in the UK saw what you did, and heard the stories of what you did and now WE here in the UK will make absol-f**king-utely sure that you don't get your sticky little mitts on them.

Jan 07th, 2014 - 03:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0The policy raised by CFK was never official government policy. This was a discussion document produced by civil servants and diplomats. This would almost certainly have been rejected by the islanders. In 1965 the then Labour Foreign Secretary of State; Micheal Stewart made it absolutely clear in a statement to parliament that in any negotiation with Argentina the wishes of the islanders would be paramunt. This has remained government policy ever since.
The gvernment has made it clear also that the UK government has no doubts about British sovereignty over the islands. Therefore there can and will be no discussion over sovereignty until the islanders wish it.
the UK government spent 17 years in discussion with Argentina mainly because it was believed that by talking with Argentina there would be no invasion. Talking was believed to be cheaper than keeping sufficient armed forces in the area to deter any invasion attempt. This policy clearly failed.
The UK is therefore forced to defend the islands .
Given that Argentina sees talks as simply a discussion on how Britain will hand the islands over to Argentina, what is the point of any negotiations?

Jan 07th, 2014 - 12:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You try and portray that you have studied the Falklands case deeper than anyone else, and that you can “lecture” your findings as fact...the summary of your “lecture” is that “both sides have weak and strong aspects”.
Your “in-depth analysis” is fundamentally flawed, and that continuing to repeat it just makes you look ridiculous.
The world has moved on since 1833, when, as per historical facts on both sides...58 people were evicted from the Falklands. All of those (54) forced to leave (without a shot being fired) had been on the islands for 6 weeks and had already mutineed, murdered and raped.
That is the extent of the “Argentine claim”. Fundamentally weak.
The Falkland islanders claim based on 180 years of unbroken habitation, the UN Charter and numerous UN resolution showing that their interests are paramount is fundamentally strong. THERE IS NO BRITISH CLAIM.
However, as you identify in 1974, the was a (NON SECRET) proposal put to the islanders around shared sovereignty.
THIS WAS REJECTED BY THE ISLANDERS AS TO NOT BEING IN THEIR INTEREST.
So Britain proved beyond any reasonable doubt that it met the UN resolutions to have dialogue with Argentina to satisfy Argentinas claim, and that the interests of the islanders were paramount AND that the UN Charter that all people have the right to self determination was respected.
You view that this somehow considered Argentinas mythical 1833 claim valid is ludicrous. Britain actively pursued a decolonization of 1/3 the surface of the world, and 1/4 the population. Wherever possible self-determination was paramount and near all are thriving democracies.
Britain negotiated with Argentina despite their ludicrous claims...not because of them...simply Because Britain no more wants a territory in the South Atlantic than anywhere else.
However, because the islanders wish to remain British, so it will stay. Until they chose otherwise. in 180 years Argentina has convinced one islander (Betts), 1500 to go.
@178... “Sepoys” People adverting that Argentina actually comply with the UN Resolutions they lie about every day? Such a good little tan shirted Malvinazi-light you are.
Jan 07th, 2014 - 02:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And the alleged “secret” document violated 2065 as much as your line of fascist governments have with respect to the islands. The difference is the UK listened the Islanders as they were supped to while the Junta you pretend to hate but celebrate on your 2-peso coin and all the subsequent governments have either ignored or ran like cowards from taking the Islanders interests into account.
What a lie your life must be. Pretending to do research and cherry picking only select facts and even words in more complete and contex-filled sentences. Facing people who like you can “just-google-it” and see how your lies are so easily provable. You said you are a teacher in a previous post as I recall. Do you lie awake in fear that your students will discover what a fraud you are?
But today and tomorrow the Islands will exercise the right that you could never take from them. Self-deterermination is locked down in favor of the Islanders and your lies to the contrary cannot change that your try to get it overturned in a back alley vote failed because the civilized world and a good part of the middle east who explicitly saw what it meant for other conflicts saw through it. You can either talk to them as partners or forever be looked on as embittered neonozis wanting your Poland and Czechoslovakia. So put your money in your mouth when you pretend to want to have talks with the islanders as you have in other posts and PUBLICLY call for talks with the ISLANDERS. We all know you're too much of a coward to do it. But do prove us wrong. We may even help you with asylum when you lose your job for being a ... sepoy. Till then keep your mask on, whatever it may be.

Jan 08th, 2014 - 04:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No, I didn't. I can remember reading “Storming the Falklands” by an ex member of 2 Para who took part in the Falklands war. In this book ( which is well worth a read, if you can get hold of it ) he describes his homecoming and lack of understanding and help that he received regarding the PTSD he suffered.
He also goes on a journey to Buenos Aires to return a Trumpet he took from an Argentine POW. There, talking to the man, he is told about the harshness of their own officers toward the young conscripts.
He also quotes from a book by Edgardo Esteban perhaps you have heard of it? read it? Edgardo describes how, as conscripts, they were bullied by their own officers, humiliated in front of their own men and then shunned by their families / country when they returned. I would like to read that one as well but I do not think it is available in English.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing and the Junta, should have known better. They all should have know better.
195 toooldtodieyoung . Haven't read the book. The best book on that war is probably the one written by Max Hastings whose son, Harry is living here and running tourism of the country for foreigners. He doesn't mention the harsh treatment meted out to the conscripts. I have spoken to some so I have heard it first hand and we have one conscript from our own community who has spoken openly about it.
Jan 08th, 2014 - 07:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Quite a number of veterans, especially the ones flying the Harriers, have come back and met their counterparts and become friends.
Suicides amongst the conscripts has been very high and it is calculated that more have died from suicide than in the fighting on the islands.
The ex-member of 2 Para should have gone to The Royal British Legion and they would have made sure he was treated for his PTSD. This is probably the largest charity organization in the UK and they handle all these issues not only for the vets but for their families as well.

I understand that for many of you, the invasion ordered by the criminal and idiot junta to the islands in 1982 is your best excuse to reject the negotiations, however, accept it or not, even after that unforgiven fact, the u. n. has always continued to call both nations to resume the negotiations and find a peaceful solution. Beside, the so called self determination that you love talking about, has never been applied for this cause, not even after the referendum, as it was for other colonial situations, in fact, a few days before that popular consultation, the president from the decolonization committe explained the reasons why self determination is not applicable for this case. On the other hand, this cause has always ben considered like a special case since 1965.
If after all these objetive facts, you prefer insisting on defending self determination for the islanders, you have right to do it, but reality is much more different than the usuall mischievous lectures of many of you.
Respecting the offers of arbitration, the u. k. just offered to submit the cases of the dependencies of the islands to an arbitration, but never the malvinas.
If the sovereignty of the islands would be shared by both countries, neather arg. would be submitted to the will of the u. k., nor viceversa, actualy it would be a fair solution because it would respect the wish of the islanders of remaining under british government, and argentina's sovereign rights.
You all know perfectly that if the u. k. didn't have right to veto at the u. n., it would never be able to do what it has always done with this cause.
On the other hand, the historic aspects of this conflict, are much more complicated than tipicall too partial analysis of many of you, i have explained them in planty of opportunities.

Jan 08th, 2014 - 09:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Tony Banks actually received help from a charity called “Combat Stress” in the end. He tells us that :-
“Estimates of the total number of veteran suicides vary. But it is likely that around 500 Argentinians and 300 British ex servicemen have taken their own lives since 1982. Those figures do not include those who have died of drink, drugs or poverty related problems. It is dreadful to think that after all these years - three decades - men from both sides are still suffering and dying as a direct result of the conflict”
Edgardo Esteban again :- “The main problem stems from the fact that the Argentine Army never acknowledged its errors and blamed the conscripts for the defeat. Argentinian society, whcih originally supported the invasion, abandoned us and linked us to the military dicatorship. When the conflict ended , there was no help.”
So there you are Tim, there is still much suffering, even in victory. My only hope is that for the Argetinians who fought, get the juctice that they so far have never had. And here in the UK, we better understand and encourage the troops to stand up and say “I have a problem” otherwise, there will be lots and lots more suffering from the veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.

How often are you going to repeat the same issues over and over again?
You never have shown proper evidence for your claims, and you points have been refuted several times, successfully.
We are not obligated to argue with you every time you re-post unsubstantiated statements.
However, I have noticed the new change you have made recently. You now imply that Britain's veto is somehow 'unfair'.
This is echoed by other zombies in your 'Army of Darkness'.
For a start, vetoes have nothing to do with your “Malvinas” ( whatever they are) claims.
Apparently, according the Islands' inhabitants and owners:
They are not yours.
You have never possessed them.
No Argies have any history of living there as a culture.
Nobody wants you there
and there is no reason for them to speak to you about giving you either full or partial control over the Islands that are their homes and livelihood, owned 100% by them, which they are free to do with 100% as they please, simply because you feel they should be yours.
However, I don't know why you are asking us or the UK.
You really should ask a Falkland Islander.
They are willing to give you a clear and concise answer.

Self determination is a core principle of the UN and people who believe in it will certainly stand by it and Argentina signed it when the joined in 1945, it is now for them to persuade the UN why its not legal in relation to the islands and have it redefined to accommodate Argentina`s ambition. No UN official has stated the Falkland islanders have no right to self determination, they have said the wishes of the islanders are paramount, The UN will not support a change in the status of the islands without the islanders agreement to it.

Your not-so-“secret” deal when ran against her got a NO from her. Her big brother listened to her and respects her. You DON'T. You proved THAT in 1982 when you raped her and beat her up. Remember that? The whole WORLD told you NO! And you got the crap beaten out of you, and though you proudly reminisce that day, you insist that you weren't “yourself” so it's ok for you to keep stalking her.
In 2008 the world made it clear. EVERY GIRL IN TOWN CAN SAY NO and it's a fundament right to say no. They don't have a “right to shut up” as you insist. Stop lying about it.
You have a C24 filled with like-minded creeps who, like you, want to hold onto girls even when they say no to them after they ask them (Tokelau comes to mind) when they are just fine with the status quo or find the alternative well.. like 1982 which you insist we forget. We see through them.
You have neighbors who are glued to you until continental drift gives them relief from your obsession who have to pander to you, because you are, frankly, unstable. Really really unstable.
But guess what. They quietly and politely smile at her, are respectful to her, and she is nice back. Must drive you crazy, eh?
But she said no to you. And no means no. What part of “NO” don't you understand. Two letters in alphabetical order that mean the same thing in both english and spanish. There are no excuses for getting it wrong.
There are prisons FILLED with people who think like you. And no one bought their story either.

Children are brought up from early childhood to 'Just say “No!”' to predatory adults.
Such adults are imprisoned for actual illegalities; many are placed in psychiatric hospital - even in solitary confinement to protect them from other defective inmates.
They are shunned by normal people, forever 'Listed' by their national and local administrative centres.
It is unfair to blame totally the Argentinian conscript for 1982, but it is absolutely fair to treat the leaders, both military and political, even today - especially today - as akin to rapists.
Raping a nation, a community, is one step up from raping the individual people.
If only the Argentinian Malvinistas and trolls could open their minds
and see themselves as 'rapists',
they might get some insight into the way they are viewed in the Islands and in the world at large.
@206 It's a a brutish and I have to say (and apologize) a very insensitive analogy to be sure. I had to think before hitting “send.” I had a much tamer “office politics” analogy a while back. But there's such a shocking bubble of cluelessness as to how the sick Malvanista mentality appears to outsiders who don't have the anti-west or anti-Norte bias hardwired in. We hear about how they say they are reformed but just try it in the “parole hearing” (my @101 above). And I'm sure we'll get a ”the b*tch (and her bro) were leading us on,“ i.e., the oooohhhh ”secret“ not so secret memo that Axel talks about. He keeps saying the same lies over and over again when we know the facts to the contrary. I'm sure he STILL doesn't get it? ”Who me/us? But we looooooove her (except when she says no).“ And of course he and the rest will lie about how they just want to ”talk“ but NEVER with the the Islanders ”We just want to talk to her brother, but not her... since we know she'll say no and when she's in the room we know that her brother won't ignore her.” And of course they won't dare step into court, the ICJ, since his record is there for all to see. Such pathetic and sick Malvanazis, I don't care how thoughtful Axel pretends to be he's just another one of them.

Jan 11th, 2014 - 10:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have never justified the invasion of 1982, in fact, many people in this forum know perfectly what i think about it.
In relation to self det., i just recommend you to have a look to all the u. n.'s resolutions, and you'll see that it was applied for different colonial situations, but never for this cause. In fact, i recommend you also to read the statements of all the lawmakers from the islands before the u. n., especially norma edward's of june 24th of 2010, where she complains about the fact that this cause has always been considered like a special case at the decolonization committee, you can find her statement in the news archive of this website. On the other hand, haven't you wondered yet why even after the result of the referendum, nothing has changed at the u. n., in refference to this cause?, i have, and maybe you all should do the same.
In relation to the idea of submitting the case to an arbitration, you all already know what i think about it, in fact, read my comment 197 again. In my opinion i think that you all should take into account the objetive facts that i mention in that comment, about the idea of an arbitration, if you want to make a serious analysis of this conflict.
Respecting the historic arguments of arg., they are too long to explain them here, but i'll just tell you that after having investigated for 4 years, i have the conclusion that both countries have rights over the islands in 1833 (discovery and papal bulls are very weak arguments).
In the case of the u. k., it's rights were based on a secret article included in the nootka sound convention of 1790, and in the case of arg., it's rights were derived of the sucession of states, that's why, the u. k. should have negotiated a peaceful solution with arg., or maybe share the sovereignty of the islands, instead of depriving our country as it did in 1833, there is much more to say about this conflict.

Axle,
Please tell me what ”investigate“ means in Spanish and English?
Like you, Snr. Cedron seems to think he knows, but he does not seem to use the word correctly, either.
Tell me, do you research and gather evidence systematically, and try to compare conflicting evidence from different sources to come to an objective conclusion?
Do you then compile a Bibliography and a list of links so that readers and investigators following you can understand your reasoning and confirm your findings?
Wouldn't an Investigator and an Academic like yourself, do that??
Or do you prefer to portray yourself as an ”Intellectual Thinker”, whatever that would be?
the Nookta agreement was in 1790 between the UK and Spain, 30 years before the state of Argentina existed, what equal legitimate claim could the UP, Rio del Plata have 30 years later? the referendum has nothing to do with the UN other than the inhabitants have expressed their wish to remain British and that the articles of the UN Charter were honoured by the British, the decolonizing committee have not (and legally can`t) proclaim it was illegal, the day to day life continues in the islands that has the fastest expanding GDP anywhere in Latin America, Argentina`s historical claim is extremely weak. it is politically naïve of Argentines to demand talks where the outcome has to be in Argentina favour before talks begin, no one will negotiates from this position, Argentina had a golden opportunity to distance themselves from the Junta`s invasion and start afresh but your successive democratic governments proved to be no less aggressive than the Junta the results are the reality the islanders will never now accept any notion of sharing the islands with Argentina, the other option is Argentina can hope and pray the UK will turn their backs on the islands and walk away. Argentines need to learn and make friends with the islanders and in time you might be able to come to some agreement with them, alternatively you can invaded again! you know what the results will be , the only other option is the ICJ Argentina refuses to use it, it is going to be a very long time before Argentina is accepted as friend.

If there was a special case why then did your people goose-step into they ICJ to stop it? Because they have no case in the 21st century where self-determination is no longer trumped by cold war realpolitik or petty fascists like you needing validation.
All resolutions that you and your fellow fascists lie about incessantly take the islanders interests into account. There is only one country that does that in this dispute, and it isn't Argentina. The UN has said all along they had that right. The world will never make the mistake of Munich or Yalta again and give free people to lying thugs like you ever again.
