Mar 21st, 2014 - 11:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0De Gaulle at least was a pukka soldier and leader. Peron? 'Be-medaled' husband of a musical star at best. A lot of Russians still worship Stalin for all the wrong reasons, seems a lot of Argentines do like wise.
Mar 21st, 2014 - 11:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0I can't see what Perón and De Gaulle had in common.
Mar 21st, 2014 - 12:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The little imperialistic anti-British French soldier hid in London and railed against the Nazis, while the little imperialistic anti-British Argie soldier hid behind the Nazis and railed at London.
On your last day in France I see there was no grand standing and thanking your French host for support on your sovereignty claim why was that??.
Mar 21st, 2014 - 12:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0De Gaulle shafted Britain with his euro vetoes despite Britain saving his arse in wwII. Peron shafted his own country and set it into permanent decline. Taking note, CFK manages to shaft both allies and countrymen at the same time
Mar 21st, 2014 - 12:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0France and Argentina have a lot in common - both nations are stony broke!
Mar 21st, 2014 - 01:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0To be fair to De Gaulle he did have to endure the humiliation of having the French fleet sunk by the RN in the attack on Mers-el-Kebir. That can't have been much fun.
Mar 21st, 2014 - 03:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And whilst he got his revenge by preventing Britain from joining the Common Market he at least prevented France from becoming a Communist nation after liberation. The most efficient of the French resistant groups were the communist cells funded, trained and controlled by Moscow. He had his principles.
Peron, on the other hand, never seems to have had a scruple he wasn't allergic to.
Will Argentina ever be able to wean itself off of lauding a man that has contributed more to the decline of Argentina over the last 100 years than anyone.
Mar 21st, 2014 - 04:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0CFK visits Russia:
Mar 21st, 2014 - 04:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“... Stalin and Argentina have much in common”
or perm any from Krushchev onwards, or she can always fall back on 'the old redoutables' Lenin, Marx and Trotski.
I can just hear her saying - whatever country she visits - “xxxxxx and Argentina have much in common” (with the sub-text “... for God's sake help us out!”)
Right on #4....you are absolutely right.
Mar 21st, 2014 - 07:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Poor CFK desperate for friends, has to go cap in hand for help with the Paris club,
Mar 21st, 2014 - 08:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0but no doubt she sees a perfect opportunity in this Ukraine problem,
and offer Putin her full support,
ya never know he might, just might send some troops to help her cause in illegally trying to annex the British Falkland's,
still,
it seems anything can happen nowadays, as nothing is impossible..lol
”And so it was the Peronist youth took to the streets chanting “Perón and de Gaulle, one heart”.
Mar 21st, 2014 - 08:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Peron changed sides after supporting fascism in WW2 (the side De Gaulle was against).
Typical Argie- changing sides like yo yo s
As long as she stays out of Britain,
Mar 21st, 2014 - 08:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the last thing we need is a deluded twit addressing parliament..
Nobody actually believes what she says anymore as it is hopelessly OTT and ridiculously emotional. The woman needs to grow up, unless of course it's all down to the brain damage.
Mar 22nd, 2014 - 07:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0Have to give her credit, she always appears to passionately believe her lies. Once you have faked sincerity, the worlds your oyster until you get caught out.

Mar 22nd, 2014 - 09:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0' ... the last thing we need is a deluded twit addressing parliament..'
I thought only the Monarch was was the only non-member of the Commons allowed to address Parliament - still, CFK has such delusions.
very true...
Mar 22nd, 2014 - 06:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0considering she thinks she is above those below her...
“”Cristina Fernandez recalled that ”Juan Domingo Perón (then in exile in Spain) ordered the Peronist Youth to receive visiting French president Charles de Gaulle (1964) as a hero. And so it was the Peronist youth took to the streets chanting “Perón and de Gaulle, one heart“”.
Mar 22nd, 2014 - 08:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just goes to show how easily brainwashed the Peronist Youth were...
De Gaulle had his flaws I suppose, but for CFK to try to cast the two leaders into the same category, is lamentable.
@2 ” I recall De Gaulle's rant “Vive La Quebec Libre”. Totally out of place...
He did something similar in Brazil, in the early 60's....at a reception given by the Brazilian (then civilian) government, he had the balls to state that “Brazil is not a serious country”.....if only he were alive to see how he hit the nail on the head...
@3 You'll have to excuse me. I've done a bit of research. I can't find any trace of de Gaulle being a “proper soldier”. Not a single reference to him sticking a bayonet on his rifle and going “over the top”. All I can find is staff “appointments” about 100 miles from the front. Sticking on a uniform and stalking around with your nose bringing “nuclear winter” doesn't seem to equate to being a “pukka soldier”. Take a look at the early life of Winston Churchill. “pukka soldier”.
Mar 23rd, 2014 - 06:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@7 To be fair, both “countries” are shit!
@14 The important thing is to set up firing points on the White Cliffs and all other UK entry points. It's important that the British people indicate a proper welcome to the leader of faggotslagland. Air pistols and rifles, shotguns, hunting rifles, assault rifles, grenade launchers. Bring 'em all. Set up on the cliffs, roads around the ports, alongside every road for 50 miles inland. And, don't forget, if you can't do that, a knife or bayonet at short range is also good!
Pathetic.
Mar 23rd, 2014 - 07:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0De Gaulle and Perón ! I would guess if she next went to Russia with her hat in her hand, and purse open it would then be Putin and Perón.
A poor analogy indirectly made towards the Paris Club for more favourable consideration.
She only showed her legs to get the French to help her, but it wont work,
Mar 24th, 2014 - 08:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0she should stop wasting all that money time and effort running around Europe and just pay her debts..
