    Islanders dont want to be argentinian. Argentina has nothing the uk wants and isnt a threat and unlikely to be a threat this centuary so forget it.

    Surely in order wasting their time on the “chestnut” that is the “Falklands/Malvinas issue” is in an indication of the totally useless purpose of this “Mercosur Parliament, Parlasur”. When will they realise that history and common sense show that the archipelago has never been Argentine territory and their claim consists of myths, fairy stories, lies and misinterpretations of historic events?

    The only venue which can put paid to this nonsense is the International Court of Justice and I cannot understand the reluctance of Argentina to take their false claim to that body of jurists.

    Discuss it all they like, they are toothless, powerless, useless organisation with as much punch as a bottle of flat coke.

    No one of any consequence listens too or gives a ferk about them.

    What's the worst thing they can do?

    The latin countrys that pay lip service to argentina's fradulent claim to the Falklands do themselves no credit. To sell their souls to placate a lying, thieving, bunch of despots that are the argentine government, shows that they have no honour and no spine.

    In reality they wouldnt expend one peso or one drop of blood on argentina's “lost malvinas” cause, but they shouldnt be encouaging argentina by providing even the limited moral support that they currently offer. They are making the situation worse by encouraging argentine delusions.

    Perhaps they could also debate Bolivar’s claim to northern Chile, as this would be a matter which actually concerns them.

    Or any of the many issues facing S. America.

    No hope for most of this generation of the S. American political class, on this issue as well as others.

    Well, I thought Parlasur had ceased to exist!

    Downunder #17 calls Argentina's government 'a bunch of despots' .

    There is little reason for the other Mercosur countries to support them in this TFI campaign of theirs; it's not as if they will stop Argentina blocking the EU trade deal - with TFI support or without it.

    Argentina's 'despots' are just blindly fixated. It's called stereotypy.

    I've seen wild animals held in zoo-captivity exhibiting the same sort of fixated, ritualized behaviour.
    Stereotypies are correlated with altered behavioural response selection in the basal ganglia - in Cristina's case it might be a result of her bipolar induced mental pathologies.

    No, Brasil, PA and UR - don't go for child-like unconditional support for Argentina's aberrant and bizarre behaviour.

    FREE TRANSLATION of news release from the meeting conclusion.

    Her Majesty's Government of Elizabeth II, is urged to Put End to Their Saber-rattling against the government of Her Excellency Mrs. President of the Argentine Nation, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. Especially to halt immediately military exercises on Argentine territory ensuring peace on the South American peninsula and improving the motherland and Isla Malvinas relations.
    It is impossible to defuse mistrust and confrontation between British authorities who are paying-lip service to dialogue after staging large-scale war drills seriously threatening and blackmailing our peaceful country. This is a mockery and insult to domestic and foreign public protest against the nuclear war racket and a petty trick to evade the responsibility for the acts of pushing the Argentine-British relations to the worst phase through adventurous saber-rattling and cover up their belligerent nature. A fundamental solution to the issue is for the English authorities to unconditionally halt the military drills they are staging in Argentina's territory. No matter how frequently dialogue is held, it is bound to collapse again unless English pirate military drills are halted. This is evidenced by the hard-won Mercosur high-level contact in February this year which is failed to make any progress, driving the Argentine-English relations into catastrophe. This was because the London authorities frantically kicked up the racket of provocative nuclear war exercises in collusion with unwanted forces.
    They should give a clear answer to the question of whether military drills are more important than the destiny of Latin American harmony and the improved inter Argentine-British relations. They should make a policy decision to put an end to the confrontation with our peaceful country. The People of the Argentine Republic will never allow the racket of the English bullies and foreign Asian little stature mercenary puppet forces.

    No, I think 'English jihadists' is fair enough. The VAST majority of Muslims prefer to live in communities in England.
    These English Muslims are promising that the next beheading of a foreigner in their Islamic State will be a Brit - probably an English man.

    There is a symmetry about this, and it will ensure that Muslims in England are progessively impounded in 'Warsaw-type ghettos - after that it is just a matter of time before impoundment walls surround them.

    The idea sure has its merits...but who has the balls to suggest it ?
    Had the Brits listened to Enoch Powell in 1968, when he strongly criticized Commonwealth immigration, and anti-discrimination legislation that had been proposed in the U.K., perhaps now they wouldn’t be in the situation they find themselves. One line in his notorious address to Parliament, commonly known as “Rivers of Blood” speech, alluding to a line from Virgil’s Aeneid, says it all…”As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see the River Tiber foaming with much blood.”

    All I am doing is asking posters on this and other blog sites to look at the implications to the situations that we create and situations that are becoming created around us.

    Multiculturalism exists in my household, and it works. Multiculturalism exists in England but it takes on a life of its own;
    'Old England' cannot determine the course of city-sized aggregations of other cultures, races and nationalities once they emplace themselves over generations.

    Perhaps the ONLY thing regions can do is 'go independent' and pull up the drawbridge, shutting out the problems of the outside world.

    I am inviting people to consider the longer-term,
    to consider the bigger picture,
    to consider the impacts that might occur in increasingly populous and stressed societies as the clashes of each society within the Old England as we once knew it.

    This is a world like nothing before it.
    The stresses and conflagrations WILL increase - some groups like ISIS will force the pace and direction of change.
    We may 'come out on the winning team' but that is not inevitable.

    One thing IS certain, we all need to think out and *voice our opinions* on these matters.

    After watching a many pro British rants and barely legible ramblings on this thread, it would seem to me that these Brits are scared. They are about to lose Scotland, they are over run with Islam fanatics and should probably start taking care of their own populace. The Brits have parked a nuclear war machine off of a coast of a previously 'nuclear free' zone and now has started an arms race. Historically speaking, the Brits committed an act of genocide and deported the Argentinians. The entirety of South America sees it, the UN sees it and so does the US. Brits, you don't have Ronald Reagan to save you this time and it looks like you will lose in the World Court. As in true Imperialistic European fashion the Brits are managing to start yet another war, not in Europe but some 14000 km away.

    He mixes up UK and US idioms.
    He also said '14000 km away'. I thought American used miles not kilometres?
    World Court? Did he mean ICJ?
    English is not his first language and the themes are remarkably familiar.
    The shouty, angry tone?
    The demands to “Read your history!” ?
    The clues are all there.
    This is not a new poster.
    hee hee!

    #60 US Air Force: Brazil is building four nuclear-powered submarines. So much for your 'nuclear free' zone.

    You Brits and Malvina Islanders make me laugh. Thank you. What is going to happen when the whole of Malvinas is cut off economically and from the SA mainland? I guess the monarchy will have to dip into their taxes to support the illegal occupation of the Malvinas. When one is referencing the USAF, there is no such thing as a barracks(#67). BTW, this topic really has no meaning to me, you English tyrants are out of your gords. It would be my guess that the people who are pro Brit rule on that sheep laden island are themselves sheep farmers and post such raunchy replies are either ex soldiers on the govt dole or unemployed Malvina residents. (#69) RB- how will you like it when you have Brazilian or Argentinian nuke subs parked off the coast of England? Have a nice day.

    Sure of course not, I guess you sleep outside. And your graduating unit at Lackland? Maybe the 37th wing? How long were you at Lackland?

    I can understand your pretending to be an American.......but you are the biggest fucking liar.

    Why is MercoSur discussing such political subjects. I thought it was an economic alliance, not a political talking shop?
    What do they hope to achieve?
    An economic boycott of the Falklands? Would the Islanders even notice?

    The fake @ 60 + 64, calls himself USAF only to try to garner some credibility....no use.....any true, or educated American, would not talk such crap.

    He's an idiot and insults the men and women in the USAF. I guarantee he looks like a deer in headlights if you ask him to elaborate on Otis and Westfield.

    #71 - I always wondered what the cast of Benny Hill was doing these days and what one of his uncensored skits would sound like, guess I know now. Since your so shaken by my callsign, why Poppy, one too many days in Afghanistan?

    #72- I think if you look up what the Mercosur group did in 2011, you would get an answer and the importance of the UK to not continue this arrogance and occupation. In 2011 a short lived de facto blockade took place and you can see the British response. At this time the UK is wielding the biggest stick policy and will eventually succumb to an economic plight that will leave those British occupiers on their own. I mean what will the Brits do when Argentian and Brazilian missile subs are parked off of London? Don't drag us into your mess again.

    @75 USAF,
    You're not even believable.
    What's an Argentian?
    lf you mean Argentinean, well they haven't got too much in the functioning submarine department.
    And why would Brazil park a submarine off London?
    To please the Argentines?
    They don't even like the Argentines! They despise them(with good reason, l might add)!
    Not too many people do like them.
    Your English is quite good, but l think that you are an RG.
    You obviously haven't researched anything at all about the Falklands otherwise you wouldn't post such rubbish.
    Try again, mate.

    @75 USAF
    “”I mean what will the Brits do when Argentian and Brazilian missile subs are parked off of London?“””
    Are you completely nuts ? Brazil can't afford to buy any submarines, far less build them...they don't have the technology, and if they ever attempted, they'd probably sink on their first exercise run....just like a few other ships they built.
    So I don't think any Brazilian subs, nor Argie ones, will be venturing into the North Atlantic any time soon...
    @76 Isolde, he IS an Argie....I doubt that anyone whose native language is English, would not make the childish mistakes he does.

    Haha! Troll rumbled immediately!
    Look at him making wild outlandish threats he can't support!
    Going exactly by the play book. You can see the febrile personality and angry attitude so clearly!
    Can you tell who it is yet?
