What a pity that this illiterate, innumerate, murdering commie bastard never mentioned his role in the attempt to overthrow a democratically elected government which resulted in a military junta by the numb-nut alliance known as the Tupas. And that of course was in Uruguay.
Jul 21st, 2014 - 10:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0At least the Tupas leader had something in common with TMBOA, he too ‘studied’ at becoming a lawyer but never took the exams and remained unqualified.
What a good job for this arsehole that he only had the elected government of pussies to deal with: he would have been dead if a ruthless bastard like me had been in charge. Nevertheless “he was shot six times and imprisoned for years”. Oh yeah, the Policia must have been using 0.32's.
It's quite amazing to read an article with obvious biased against those who fought a tyranny just with the target of accusing Argentina of genocide. The obsesion and the anger against Argentina is so obvious that makes this site to lose seriousness and credibility.
Jul 21st, 2014 - 12:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have seen “Catholic Revisionists”, “Peronist Revisionists”, “Fascist Revisionists”...but I have never seen “British Revisionists”...ha ha ha..this is too much..
What a pity that Mujica couldn't remember Urineguay's “immense debt that we never settled or will we ever be able to settle for having participated in the War of the Triple Alliance” when he agreed to act illegally against Paraguay in 2012. It must be terrible for “Pepe” to suffer from selective amnesia! Or perhaps he's just a lying git.

Jul 21st, 2014 - 02:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don’t see what the British, “Revisionist” or otherwise, have got to do with an article about Pepe’s comments on the Paraguayan war.
The description given of the war and its consequences isn’t “British inspired”, it is simply the general view of the war outside Argentina.
No doubt inside Argentina it was all totally justified. That view isn’t “British inspired” either.
And you talk of “obsession”!
Is this the brief version of the war of the triple alianza?
Jul 21st, 2014 - 04:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0made by this 4th class newspaper?
lol
not a surprise the little islanders are so ignorant.
maybe this 4th class newspaper should mention the role of great britain, the baring brothers, the rothschild bank and the bank of england in this conflict.
and wonder who were the real benefited with it.
ignorants
Puff of smoke

Jul 21st, 2014 - 05:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, it's quite clear an obsession of taking each reail, or false, oportunity to show Argentina as a “genocide” country. Which is something false.
In addition, if you take your time to analize certain subliminal messages such as the texts below both pictures inb the article the biased is quite clear.
Solano López was a bloody dictator who inherited the power from his father and wanted to invade Uruguay so he asked at the Argentine Government for permission which was rejected so, he simply decided to invade the Argentine territory too.
The war was the cruellest of South America and costed 30.000 lives to the Alliance and more than the triple to Paraguay.
The UK, to the contrary that most of the people believe, was, at the beginning of the war, in favor of Paraguay since they were good customers of militar pieces of equiptment among others.
As Mitre was a constitutional president of a Republic, and he was freemason, the argentine fascist and catholic (basically peronists) invented the “revisionists” tales to blame Mitre of genocide.
In addition, Peron was an ally of Paraguay and, at his time, a rulling dictator General Stroesnerr.

Try asking the indigenous indians of the south of The Dark Country about genocide: oh, you can't, you murdered them.
Was than not genocide?
@10
Jul 21st, 2014 - 07:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0We can go back to this issue again and again and again..it's rather boring..
Would you consider Australia, New Zealand, USA or Canada teh result of genocides? In some cases, the similarity with the Argentine conquest is remarcable. Take for instance Australia..or Chile.
If so, both the Uk and Chile are also genocides countries....Would you agree with this?
@ 11 pgerman
Jul 21st, 2014 - 09:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Your claim related to The Dark Country and I refuted it with the facts.
It is clear that you have the usual deflect and deny mentality of the genuine argie.
Yes pgerman.
Jul 21st, 2014 - 09:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Genocide happened in Australia.
We accept the mistakes of our pasts. We don't blame the British. We blame ourselves. We take responsibility. This is Australia's burden to bear. Not Britain's.
The fact that there are in full blooded Aboriginals in Tasmania is genocidal. It is not lessened by comparing it to Argentina.
Your inferiority complex means that you have to always attempt to view Argentina through the prism of more advanced countries.
Perhaps the other genocide you should be questioning is, where are all the African-Argentineans?
http://www.ibtimes.com/blackout-how-argentina-eliminated-africans-its-history-conscience-1289381
I guess Australia can be at lest slightly morally superior to Argentina in that we didn't import black slaves and then erase them from our culture and gene pool.

Jul 21st, 2014 - 10:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0of course the colonial powers of the xvii, xviii and xix centuries have most of the responsibility.
and england was certainly one of them.
putting aside the black wars and the tasmanian genocide, that were committed by chance by england, you have all the genocide throughout north america, africa, india and the list goes on.
and the first genocide in modern europe with the “great famine”.
great name for a genocide, eh?
about the conquista del desierto, we are very conscious of all the damage made by mitre, roca, etc.
we do not need an ignorant anglo-latino to give us lessons of that.
but the conquista del desierto was a lot more complex than you, ignorant x 1000, think.
there were alliances between some tribes and the white to fight against the invasion the mapuches, who were not a local tribe, etc.
so try to go back to school, learn something and then post something coherent, you nabo.
and a piece of advice, try with real history books not with that joke of ibitimes.
@12
Jul 21st, 2014 - 10:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Your claim related to The Dark Country and I refuted it with the facts”. Which facts? Any genocide leaves mass graves...Where are they in this case? Have you found then? There are lots of pieces of information about this issue and none of them could ever prove a genocide.
@13
If you consideredc that a genocide happeneded in Australia it's up to you. I also accept mistakes of my country such as the “missing people” during the last Militar Government.
“Where are all the African-Argentineans?” They mixed with the rest of the society. Ths Viceroy that is now part of the Argentine territory was one of the poorest in Amercia. There were no farms and not mines so the slaves were sent to other places in Latin America.
Please, don't show me a link of articles on the web...there are plenty of them. Some confirms that there is life outside the World...that the HMS Invinceble was sunk and rebuilt....
You have tow problemas...you ignore most of the most basic facts of Argentine history and you hate Argentina. I invite you to read serious books of Argentina history...
I admire Pepe in his golden years for admitting that this action took place, that Uruguai was involved, and that it embarrasses him even today.
Jul 21st, 2014 - 11:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Those admired elsewhere in the world, such as Cuba, or Russia, seem oblivious to past history, or even recent, and cannot bring themselves to admitting even the smallest of facts.
Vlad cannot admit his BUK units were taken to occupied Ukraine, and operated by his own citizens, which indirectly makes him history's new version of Vlad the Impaler.
@9 pgerman
Jul 22nd, 2014 - 03:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Would you rather it said “the Paraguayan leader who launched an unwinnable war”.
And “the Argentine president who disorganized the triple alliance with Brazil and Uruguay”
So it was in fact Argentinians “revision” of history, not the British at all.
Progress of a sort, I suppose.
The issue is not how Argentina became involved in the war, but how Argentina finished the war.
Bank rolled by the British, it has to be said.
@14 paulcedron
“the mapuches, who were not a local tribe,”
They were a F*ck site more “local” that the Creole Conquistadors, from Europe.

Totally agree with that comment.

Jul 26th, 2014 - 08:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the mapuches were/ are originally from chile, you idiots.
they were not “local”. period.
you poor ignorant imbeciles
I know they are from Chile. In fact I know a mapuche family who currently live in Norwich, UK.
Jul 26th, 2014 - 10:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The point you failed so miserably to understand is that indigenous people are more local than foreign invaders.
You get so bitter and angry that you become irrational and and so eager to be anti - British that you don't understand what the adults are discussing.
Would you like us to increase the Aid budget so you can get some therapy and more education?
no, lol
Jul 26th, 2014 - 10:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0do not flatter yourself.
you do not know a shite.
and a mapuche family living in the uk?
what happened? you kidnapped them?
and what “invaders” are you talking about?
are the immigrants invaders for you, you tw@t?
if you want to opine about la conquista del desierto, first you have to learn spanish and second you have to read real history books about it.
felix luna and felipe pigna would be a good start, but considering your less than zero IQ, i suspect it will be useless.
Yep, that worked nicely. Just like pressing a button, or playing with a child's wind-up toy.
Jul 27th, 2014 - 12:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0You can run along now.
Ps: just for clarity, my Chilean friends in Norwich are Mapuche by heritage/ethnic group. I know a lot of life out here in the real world is difficult for you to understand. Keep trying. We will send more Aid for books.
they are chileans then, you nabo.
Jul 27th, 2014 - 01:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0the only people who differentiate other people by their heritage / ethnic group are the racist british wannabes you can find in this 4th class site.
i.e.: you and your useless friends

I not sure you have ever known anyone from outside of Argentina. Your attitude is very provincial.

i'm sure you have never known anyone but sheep and penguins.
If you honestly believe that I am from the Falkland Islands it just shows how little you know.
Jul 27th, 2014 - 12:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If I was from there I would proudly say so. That is what Falkland Islanders do. Haven't you noticed?
Also calling me a kelper isn't an insult. They are a brave, stalwart and noble people. I would be proud to be from there.
How ever I am more than happy to be British.
Do send the Aid back if you don't want it. Unless your politicians haven't stolen it all.
oh and don't forget to stock up on sugar and washing powder!

Does Polly ever actually contribute anything of value to any of these threads? Ever?
