Cristina Fernandez took time to pick on the Falklands at her 'dialogue' speech
Cristina Fernandez on her Friday Flag Day speech in which she lowered usual rhetoric and asked US Judge Thomas Griesa for negotiations with the holdout hedge funds, picked on the Falkland Islands sovereignty dispute to channel her fury and forecasted there “is no colonialism that can last so many centuries, eventually they fall”.

Ahh, here it comes, the distraction and deflection from the fact that her administration has lost its gamble and it is time to pay up. She is trying to get the population to forget about all the years of “we won't pay/they can't make us”.

She is being very slippery using this 'peaceful people/dialogue' angle. By avoiding the ICJ or a military adventure she can milk this nationalistic cow for a long time to come without actually doing anything.
btw. Wtf is all this 'we must defend Argentina'. Nobody is attacking you ffs! Either she is a paranoid idiot or it's the usual populist subtext of “.... and only I can save you”.
How long will they continue to swallow this claptrap?

Jun 21st, 2014 - 10:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0You seem to know more about the Scottish referendum than I do, and I live there. Even if it is a vote to leave the UK why should that affect any decision about the Falklands ? How would it be in the UK's best interest to get involved with the bunch of crooks passing as the government of Argentina. If nothing else, having the Falklands annoys the hell out of the govt. and people like you. That is surely a plus on our part.
If Argentina had the Falklands, what would you do ? Your reason for living would have gone and you would have to sink into the embittered husk that would await you.
Anyway, after your duplicitous “Dover ” persona, nobody can take you seriously. Anyway, enjoy your winter, it looks as if it may last for several years.
I think we can expect an increase in Argentine rhetoric or even pathetic stunts given the impending debt default, every failed government needs someone to blame. If they had a well equipped military they might given war another go - however a lack of spending has ruled that out. Is their any evidence that anyone in the world is actually listening to Argentina's moaning? by that I mean nations actually doing anything practical in support of it other than issue statements and cheap words? I would guess that given the choice most nations would act in their own interests and seek better relations with the larger, richer economy of the UK.
Jun 21st, 2014 - 10:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'm sure Cristina's words about colonialism were welcomed by the natives in Chaco http://youtu.be/ENdU86pViEg they need some good news.
Any predictions on what the debt default will do to Argentina? a run on the banks? increased inflation? massive austerity cuts? if I lived their I'd be trying to swap RG currency for gold, $, £ etc.
Of course Cristina would never do that and I'm sure has all her cash in Argentine banks like the patriot she is.
What they could really do with is some offshore oil and gas, maybe they'll find some in their waters one day.
@3 What does “Desunited” mean? Do you actually know what “Engrish” refers to? I won't ask about “Foreign & Colonial Office”.
Jun 21st, 2014 - 10:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0But so let us explain what WILL happen. WE don't know. Because it's up to the Falkland Islanders. However, one possibility is that the Islands might become an associated state. Connsider it to be “amical protection” where Britain will come down like a ton of bricks on anyone that attempts to “attack” no matter what form the “attack” takes. So, for example, an argie vessel forcing its way into the Falklands EEZ would find RAF Eurofighter Typhoons pumping Harpoon or Brimstone missiles into it to convert it to a submarine. An alternative is that the Islands might become independent. But no doubt there would be a defence treaty with, guess who, the UK. So that the Typhoons could do the same job. Of course, since the Falklands would be paying the bill out of their hundreds of billions in oil and gas revenues, they might choose to have an entire squadron, usually 12 aircraft, instead of just a flight. Wonder to whom the argies would “protest”?
Incidentally, another couple of points. Even if scotland buggers off to try to emulate argieland, the United Kingdom will continue. Perhaps the United Kingdom of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. How will scotland try to emulate argieland? It's got a loudmouth know-it-all in charge for a start. Who also thinks everyone has to do what he wants. But scotland is an economic powerhouse! That's also what argieland is supposed to be. Except it can't pay its debts. US$27 billion in reserves but can't pay US$1.33 billion? Unless, of course, the argie reserves are really only US$2.7 million. Perhaps argieland really IS broke. Good time to invade and occupy then. The Empire strikes back!

It's terrifically hard of course, to learn from your mistakes when you've never made any.
I just looked at the polling for the Scottish referendum. Doesn't look like much of a disunion to me. It is kind of shocking 30% of the people are undecided my guess is most of them don't care and will vote for the status quo. Most people don't like uncertainty.

Argentina is entering the worst crisis they've had in 100yrs. If the Rgidiots on this board can't see that I feel sorry for them.
The USA will not bail them out this time. Maybe they can ask Brazil but I doubt it. They're out of status at the IMF so no-go there either. The USA may let the IMF loan but only if they give up all budget control.
This will be really fun to watch.

Jun 21st, 2014 - 02:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Having been around at the time, I can't recall the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan being against the express wishes of the British people. I don't remember the vote. Who remembers how democracy works? In 2003, the UK population was under just under 60 million. So who were these 30 million who voted against? So, in reality, a few were against. They just made a lot of noise. Many could see the point in having combat training with live targets. It wasn't as though it was going to be much of a problem. Same applies to Afghanistan.
And what exactly is important about countries like Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Sudan, Nigeria, Egypt?
As a matter of interest, what exactly has argieland done of importance in the world in the 20th and 21st centuries? Apart from, most recently, demonstrating that you can't get away with criminality indefinitely. In fact, why does someone as bent, corrupt, cowardly and criminal as an argie have any business making remarks about somewhere else?
Think you'll still be breathing in a thousand years?
Some talk on here about Scottish referendum. Just to be clear that quite a lot of Scots died defending the people of the Falkland Islands from the aggression of the Argentine people (who stupidly deserve the governments they get). In the remote chance if a yes vote we will be looking for somwhere in the atlantic , far from Russia, with access to deep waters to park 4 trident submarines. Falklands would be ideal, so be careful Argentina what you wish for.

”
Let's look at these a bit more clearly...
Iraq was on possession of a dictatorship which quite happily fired mustard gas, and anthrax onto its own people.. I have said before saddam was going onto the end of a noose or the ICJ so he had it coming.
Afghanistan was militarily taken over by the Taliban, who would also be quite happy to publicly behead you for listening to music or reading something which wasn't the Quran against the wish of its people.
Nigeria has it's own internal problems but is beginning to deal with them.
Egypt was caught in the Arab spring. Thousands died fighting against a dictatorship. Then the Muslim brotherhood voted on and tried to turn what was once an open secular society into a closed Islamic one. The military stepped in realising the whole country could be brought down into civil war.
Libya again was a muderous dictatorship, Gaddafi was brought down by his own people with a NATO lead no fly zone to stop him bombing his own people.
All off those bar Egypt (which dealt with it itself) have had NATO lead forces or assets inserted into them to stop a civil war which drags on killing thousands indiscriminately. It has worked because the answer you would have had is simple- Syria.
Nigeria hasn't needed military assistance with its internal problems yet but if it did the AU probably will assist.
You can only see western intervention as some point of glee, rubbing your hands with a few thousand die when in fact they are stopping a few hundred thousand from meeting a sticky end.
But I will say this, it is better to do something than nothing. This has been proved with Syria.
That's why nations turn to NATO and the US not some whiny little back water that moans about 3000 people stealing a few fish.

Jun 21st, 2014 - 03:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There is a very important difference between 'Argies' and 'Scots'.
Argies run like cowards, Scots stand and fight.
As Clyde15 has said, the Falklands were returned to their rightful owners on 14 June 1982 after being under a foreign and murderous dictatorship - namely Argentina.
The Scots sure did kick the arses of these 'brave' Argentine soldiers - extremely brave when fighting UNARMED civilians...not so brave when faced with determined, courageous and TRAINED military personnel.
The Scots have a very long memory. None of them will ever forget Tumbledown. Your stupid government has already tried to garner support for your illegal colonial ambitions from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
What your stupid government soon realised is that none of them would give you the time of day, let alone support you in anything.
But never mind think, at least you don't live in Argentina so don't have to live with the insane policies of your government.
But once again we'll ask you think. If Argentina's sovereignty claim is as strong as you all claim it is, why don't you take it to the ONLY body in the WHOLE world that can give you that sovereignty? The International Courts of Justice. It won't take much, I mean you're already bothering them over the pulp mill nonsense and taking your 'good' buddies Uruguay to court over it.
So instead of taking a friend to the ICJ, why don't you take your 'enemy'?
I mean your claim to sovereignty is so strong, isn't it? Come on think, put your money where your big mouth is?

Our Argentine friends on these boards believe correctly a number of things
1) Argentina is the seventh biggest country on earth
2) it is one of the richest country with respect to minerals and natural resources in the world
3) it has been unaffected by wars for centuries
4) their ancestors the original Spanish colonialists, were, at the time, the pioneers, innovators and industrial leaders of the world.
All of that is true....
So how on earth did they end up with a squalid, morally bankrupt, economically bankrupt, poverty striken, two-bit, fuckup that is modern day Argentina?
All the possible advantages, yet a screw up every time.
Rather than accepting the obvious, the Argentine look for someone to blame,
If only we had the Malvinas and the British pirate usurpers we gone
If only the vulture funds weren't extorting cash from us
If only the capitalists hadn't tricked us
If only Uruguay didn't have a pulp mill
Of course none of these square the circle at all...and never would, yet so many Argentines believe it...poor Trolley believes Argentina is “under attack” lol
Sadly, the answer is more severe:
Argentines have wasted their birthright. When given the choice they have elected populists who spin them the shit above, rather than tell them the truth. After the inevitable crashes, they then blame another lot.
Argentines culture is sadly lazy, arrogant and dishonest. The high proportion of Argentine posters advertise it daily.
Their President openly lies, blatantly lies, lies so obvious a 3 year old could see it, and they lap it up....lap it up...until they challenge it, hate it, dismiss it...Argentina and Argentines will never see anything from the huge natural advantage their land gives them.

Jun 21st, 2014 - 10:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But your forgetting one key point... Argentina has such an inferiority complex, brought on by its failure to pick the right side in WWII .
So when it sold its soul to get into the un it gathered this theorem that the west is solely interested in destroying Argentina and ergo South America ....so it tries to bundle all of the South American nations into its paranoia....
Collective madness...Nietzsche would gave been proud.
Think- do tell us where to you get your fantasy crap from about the this English Foreign and Colonial Office?
Jun 21st, 2014 - 10:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 01 -I doubt if there ever was an“English” Foreign Office - hell Wales had been part of UK and Gt Britain since the middle ages, Northern Ireland as part of what was the UK ruled Ireland , not sure when but probably pre the Scottish Union?
2 Even in the 1700s not sure if there was a Foreign Ministry as such? The old British Colonial Office developed in the 1800s (never ever was their an English one as such) as Britain ended up the major world power and nigh on half the world coloured pink.

The British Colonial Office closed I think 1960s as most countries had become Independent and it was merged with and renamed the BRITISH Foreign and COMMONWEALTH Office - as yes - surprise - unlike the way your old empirical masters from Spain were evicted by force of the territories peoples - Britain helped develop its old colonies into Independent States based on the tried and tested British legal systems etc and all those nations happily joined the British Commonwealth of Nations.
AS for your silly President spluttering on about all these centuries of Colonialism - irrelevant to us old chap - we have moved on from that era - even if Argentina has not.
We go for the “will of the people” stuff now. As can be seen if you add up how many people on the Islands Voting Register who are NOT of Islands or UK origen - yet voted as part of that massive turnout and result last march.

Argentina has always been a thorn in our side as they have with almost every neighbour they share a boundary with. Only difference with us is that there happens to be quite a lot of water between you and I and long may it stay that way.

2. There are no such place as the 'Malvinas'. The Falkland Islands are, however, a British Overseas Territory which has the right to decide it's own future - that includes full independence when they might well become a 'country' and a 'nation'. The Falklands have not now, nor have they ever been an integral part of Argentina. That is a lie made up by successive governments. Tell me, Think, why doesn't Argentina take the UK to the International Courts of Justice if your claim is so strong and legal (by international law)? As I said before...why don't you put your money where your mouth is? Answer that? Or are you going to avoid answering, just like you do when I ask you the question about how long someone has to live in a country to be considered that nationality? Come on the ICJ is waiting for you...NO? Thought not.
3. How do you define a 'people'? The UN hasn't defined what a people is yet, and they are the only ones who can legally do it. So the Falkland Islanders are a people, with their own culture and distinct identity which is different to people living in the UK, until that UN (not Argentina) states that they are not. If Argentina has a problem with that, take it to the ICJ. NO? Thought not.
4. There are no such place as the 'Malvinas'. It is a make believe place, so rising water levels cannot affect it. And since there is no such place as the Malvinas, you cannot make any 'facts' about them, can you?
Again, if Argentina has an issue with this, take it to the ICJ. NO? Thought not.

Since when did the word “laddie” appear in the Argentinian lexicon ?
However,to but into a private dispute, if the mythical Malvinas were to disappear under the rising sea, I think you would find that coastal Argentina including B.A. and most of the major cities would join Atlantis in history.
This assumes a rise of 40 metres in sea level. This would mean the islanders would have to walk up the hills a bit more and still have plenty of land left.
Whether it would be a good/bad thing if B.A. was to disappear it is not for me to say. Others living in that part of the world can venture their opinions.
Think is a fine exponent of the Malvinista cause. He makes perfectly clear that it's a matter of faith rather than reason, sustained by endless repetition and generic anglophobia rather than rational argument. And this is why it can only fail.

So Mr Think what does that make you and the rest of Argentina.
You have the audacity to suggest we are not a people when your lot killed the indigenous people and took their land for your own.
Don't you dare talk about me and my fellow country men and women when your own shaded past is a million times worse than that you try to portray us as.
The real truth is that you . Are not a people of the land because it is not your land never was and never should be.
If anyone is a squatter it is the Spanish who squatted in Argentina then tried to squat on the Falkland islands.
How much does CFK pay you to sprout such bull on here. Surely you must be aware that you are the most laughed at individual in Argentina.
I also do not care how you address your claim to us. It is ridiculous to suggest we are an integral part of Argentina. We are in fact an integral part of Great Britain who just so happens had a claim on these islands so long ago that none of your ancestors had even arrived in Latin America.
You may get away with bullying every country on your border but let me again remind you, the Falklands is not on your border just like the Antarctic so get of your soap box and go back to the hole you obviously came out of.
I have another question for you . Would you ever live on the Falkland Islands. or do you just like trying to aggravate everyone to get attention. Face it Argentina is going down hill fast and you know it and the only way to financially prop it up is to get your hands on our valuable resources. Remember your lot once had the finest international beef trade in the world and you destroyed it through greed.
Now it is our turn to really shine and you don't like it at all. Falkland Islanders are very close to becoming the richest individuals on the planet.

I think the number 25 is probably to do with their intelligence level. Most likely the mentality of an age group which 2 - 5 years . because they don't recognise the - symbol they don't use it and then when they talk about recovering the Islands they are probably trying to say within 2-5 years but given the above now refers to 25 years.
