Sep 25th, 2014 - 03:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0Over-demanding and blasted
Phew, where to begin? Firstly, the direct quotes attributed to her are gibberish. Either they are lost in translation or I suspect the audience would have been searching for something on another channel. Secondly, is she really saying that the vote of say Iceland should be the same as say the U.S.? Thirdly, does she not understand that 'veto' means forbid rather than compel? I thought lawyers had to learn Latin?
Sep 25th, 2014 - 04:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0On a positive note, it does seem she has finally twigged that the UN is simply a talking shop. It's only taken her the best part of 15 years.
“Ivory Coast, Ghana, Kenya, Egypt, Uganda, Argentina, Bahrain, or the Arab Emirates”
Sep 25th, 2014 - 04:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0You're more likely to call the Ghostbusters than the above countries if you need some help. Corruption and ineptitude of their leaders is what they have most in common.
CFK appears to have forgotten that the UK was willing to sit down and talk with Argentina less than 2 years ago but it was ARGENTINA that ran away and refused to talk.
Sep 25th, 2014 - 05:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0The WHOLE world saw just how dedicated Argentina really is to talking to the UK regarding the Falklands, and that is NOT AT ALL.
Argentina...all talk...no action...no hope...no future.
I wonder why the Falkland Islanders want nothing to do with them?
Imagine sitting in your seat, in your three-piece suit uncomfortably, at the United Nations General Assembly, listening to a female deadbeat, lecturing you on morality, without bursting out laughing. How do they keep a straight face ?.
Sep 25th, 2014 - 06:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0It is as though a renter of your home or apto. quits paying, refuses to leave until evicted, and then goes to the UN to lecture you and the world. What a sad, sad, tale of woe. And the Falkland Islands brought up too. My, my. Never have I heard of such a sad tale of pathos. Not even in the weekly novella.
Is she perhaps referring in her stretch of a speech to ISIS in Syria ? Perhaps as she is running out of supporters ( Germany being the latest ) she could fly there in her spandex outfit and bond with the ISIS faithful. They would love that.
“ I feel your pain. ” Yes, they would have so much in common to talk about as the drones, tomahawks missiles, and jets fly overhead.
What a plonker!
Sep 25th, 2014 - 06:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0The politics of reform. At home if she does not get her way, she reforms (replaces the judges) the courts or creates government yes bodies, until she gets her way.
Sep 25th, 2014 - 06:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0She seems to think that she can do the same to International Institutions, unfortunately for her, that's all she can do, think or in her case demand and garner scant support from so called, like democratic leaders.
If she can not work within the rules, the answers simple, leave!
She and they take, take, take, they do not contribute. They won't be missed.
“And this happens because Argentina is not part of the Security Council”
Sep 25th, 2014 - 06:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Was Argentina not on the SC when Mr T was in London and up until when Assad gassed his people? If being on the SC made no difference then what is the problem with not being on it? Argentina with Kirchner in charge will not be taken seriously either on it or off it.
In America no one listens to losers. Argentina - big loser!
Sep 25th, 2014 - 07:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0Still, $ were salted away and that empty suitcase was refilled on 5th Avenue.
16 Pesos hanging on the wall...
How many times do they need telling, no talks without the inclusion and consent of the Falkland Islanders.
Sep 25th, 2014 - 07:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0Does she really think the UN is going to ignore its own rules? Because that is what they are asking them to do.
I have often wondered why there isn't a more robust response from the UK, when she goes off on one. I imagine, behind the scenes, the real business is done, the UK know the people/countries that count and that have our backs.
Sep 25th, 2014 - 09:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0They all know she is emotionally incontinent like a petulant teenager, a drama Queen who craves the worlds attention. Even her SA brothers can't hold their tongues about how they really feel about her from time to time.
...a claim of sovereignty and a claim from this very Assembly for the UK to sit down with Argentina to discuss the sovereignty question of the Malvinas Islands”...really which resolution was that, I know one that notes the existence of a dispute, but that is regarding the granting of independence to a colonised people or countries.
”Argentina, in the context of a complex world situation, has become a triple leading case, (vulture funds, terrorism) and one referred to 'the use of force and territorial integrity', more specifically the pending dispute with the United Kingdom over the Falklands/Malvinas.“
Sep 25th, 2014 - 10:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0Pending dispute???
”A triple leading case” thats her way of saying that argentina is a three time loser. To lose once is unfortunate, but to lose three times; well only fools do that!
There must have been lots of empty chairs in the GA during that tirade.
The UK Gov probably thinks that responding to their ludicrous claim is tantamount to acknowledging it.
Sep 25th, 2014 - 10:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0Far better to ignore them them than even dignify it with a response.
Knowing they are impotent to do anything about it, must wind them up something chronic.
Let's make no mistake. Argieland is 'leading' latam into disaster. When has argieland proposed 'solutions' to world problems that might cost argieland? How about an international body that monitors governments and removes those that do not meet agreed criteria? How about a fully-armed international body that destroys countries that start wars? How about an international body that seizes countries that make no attempt to pay their debts? How about an international body that arrests corrupt 'leaders', tries them and then imprisons them? Trouble is that argieland and its 'government' would no longer exist.
Sep 25th, 2014 - 11:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0All her words have one purpose. Trying to get argieland out of the cesspit she has dug for it. Argieland part of the Security Council? You don't install a 'pest' as part of rodent control.
On many occasions, we have set out the facts on here. Why would the UK sit down with a corrupt, criminal, mendacious thief? It's not going to happen.
All the UK has to do is wait. Argieland will destroy itself. Sooner the better!
How many wars and coalitions against terrorists and they are still there, more powerful, more angry and combative instead of bringing peaceful solutions to those countries??
Sep 25th, 2014 - 11:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0I wasn't aware that we had a pending dispute with Argentina, as far as we are concerned all matters were settled when the Islanders made a choice. We cannot tell the Falkland Islanders what they should and shouldn't do any more than we can tell Scotland what they should choose to do.
Sep 25th, 2014 - 12:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The UK has shown the world that we are have long since left our colonial past behind and there are few that can match us democratically.
She is taking Chavez's place, the crazy claudillo ranting and raving about nonsense.
Sep 25th, 2014 - 12:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I guess there's got to be one all the time and they've passed the mantle to her.
Anyhoo territorial integrity is the feeblest claim they could make about the Falklands. Doesn't she realize this?
It must be really nice to be delusional and never have anyone call you on it.
How do you negotiate with a group who's stated objective is and has always been, that there is only one way for you to live, under Shariah Law.
Sep 25th, 2014 - 12:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Where flogging, execution and slavery of women is the norm.
You have two simple choices, surrender and live under that medieval barbaric system that it is, or fight it.
You make your choice, I'll make mine. That's the democratic way. You won't get that under Shariah. Their choices are more stark and simpler, live our way or die.

Sep 25th, 2014 - 12:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You're right. Peace is the answer. We'll all club together and buy you a flight to Syria. You can sit down with a nice cup of tea and a bacon butty and bring those horrid men from ISIS to their senses with your sound logical reasoning. You could even ask them for help recovering your blessed Malvinas.
Is it just me or did she forget that there is a population living on those islands...?

Sep 25th, 2014 - 01:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Fact is the rest of the world is bored of CFK's little rants and much of the press didn't even 'mention the Falklands.' Reuters headline was, 'Hold Out Funds Terrorists' and 'Germany Hostile.'
@16
Sep 25th, 2014 - 01:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes it would be wonderful if you would go to Syria and Iraq and tell the “ naughty boys of ISIS to lay down their arms and be democratic” You live in cloud cuckoo land, you must be a lazy Argie.
Talking of Syria - has anyone watched the hour long documentary produced by the Islamic State? It is worth watching simply because it is fascinating.
Sep 25th, 2014 - 02:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's been banned by quite a few sites as “propaganda” - which is what it is. However watching it and running off to fight jihad would be akin to watching Trainspotting and running off to shoot up some heroin.
Recommended simply because it is bonkers and fits in with the “know your enemy” mantra.
I became disorientated ( the UN did too) with the words bouncing back and forth like verbal table-tennis... optimism, pessimism, realism...and back again.

The American president spoke to a packed house,
Sep 25th, 2014 - 06:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Great words, but also some interesting points,
1, we can no longer allow one country to invade or terrorise another
2, big countries cannot and will not be allowed to bully the little guy in the 21st century.
Then the deranged puppet steps up,
CFK
1, We must fight, this Assembly
2, must demand devolution of the powers it has delegated
3, the Assembly must request permission
4, if any other member belongs to the family. We must rescue
5, we demand the Falklands,
The world is in turmoil over ISIS, and this twit twat demands
Its about time the UN was removed before the likes of CFK and her deranged cohorts take over the place.
Gentlemen, we reap what we sow, we deserve what we get,

Apparently David spoke to an almost empty house, or that what I saw,
we say remove this deranged lunatic before she arranges our demise and takes us with her to hell.
just my burning thought.

Sep 26th, 2014 - 05:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well... I for one would support Argie sitting in for the US for a year... So long as Argie contributes as much $$ to the UN as does the US.
Sep 26th, 2014 - 07:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0One Year. Paid up-front of course..... That would be about 600,000,000 US dollars. Not counting all the other contributions the US provides.
According to various sources, the list of UN member contributions does not include Argentina... apparently they are living on the public dole so to speak.
By the way... how much has Argentina contributed to the Ebola eradication campaign? Zero?
And she wants a seat at the grown-ups table?
@16. And the latam solution is.....? Let's sit down with a terrorist country and talk about how it let some terrorists into our country and kill people. Perhaps we could sell you some soy. We'll be expecting you to identify those of your citizens responsible. Perhaps you have some armaments we could buy. If you could lend us the money.
Sep 26th, 2014 - 10:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It seems that argieland is also a terrorist country!
@16 Malen : If you are in such a forgiving frame of mind , why don't you petition your government to release all the military who are being held as political prisoners for supposed crimes committed during the 70's ?
