Dec 01st, 2014 - 09:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0Castro would go down well in the Globe Tavern on any night; but Mujica is 4 decades behind. The Argies missed a strategic game option during the 70's and Mujica's play at catch up is similiary passed its expiry date! We've all moved on, thats the reality.
Dec 01st, 2014 - 10:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0“when your recover the Malvinas, then you'll have to deal with us, because originally during the Spanish empire, the Islands depended from the naval stockade in Montevideo, under direct command from the king in Spain, not from Buenos Aires. They didn't trust you”.
Dec 01st, 2014 - 10:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0Untrustworthy then, still untrustworthy today....
”Castro would go down well in the Globe Tavern on any night;'... what , you want somewhere to park your bike?
Castro has passed her expiry date also.
Dec 01st, 2014 - 10:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0Going by the last census data 46% of the population of the Falkland Islands is (or at least was in 2012) married and another 11% is cohabiting.
Dec 01st, 2014 - 10:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0I can't see the wives and girlfriends of these Falkland Islanders being exactly overjoyed at this latest and most cunning of plans. Besides which, going by the referendum results (where the total votes against the status quo was only a small fraction of the population who were born in Argentina), there's a good chance of the women who manage to escape to the Falkland Islands “going native” anyway.
As we've seen on another thread, Cabeza Dura has got hordes of nubile teenage sluts desperate to steal his seed. Maybe some of them could be sent over?

Immensely hilarious! What century is Mujica living in? 'Mattresses and blankets' indeed. In a population of less than 3,000, I can't see any undue argie influence going unnoticed. At least argie women will be accustomed to giving change! And being 'shared' around. Per 'Rufus', how many argie women will find themselves in Falkland Sound? And this is what has the support of 64% of Uruguayans? Any Uruguayans want to look up the Battle of the River Plate? Uruguayans had a front seat on how the British defeat totalitarianism. The nazis were properly scared of democratic people. Banners, flags, marches and rallies. The nazis tried them all. Still, if the argies want to send their whores as well.........! Still, the (male) Falklands teenagers should be happy. Learn to shag with no comebacks. Because the slag will get deported! After 'servicing' all the boys!

Dec 01st, 2014 - 11:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0So Mujica's idea of reconquering and subjugating the “Malvinas” is to send Argentina's prostitutes. Only question is, would there be more sheep in the Falkland Islands or prostitutes?

An interesting proposal - Mujica is almost suggesting friendly relations with the Falkland Islanders. Creating links and making them feel part of the community.
Dec 01st, 2014 - 12:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A shame that he has to spoil it by repeating the lie that Argentina can “recover” the Islands. This is impossible - you can't recover what wasn't yours to begin with.
Can't someone hit this man with a big stick and put everyone out of their misery. ?
Dec 01st, 2014 - 12:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is clear however that Argentina ever achieving sovereignty over the Falkland Islands is now reduced to comedy. He is surely taking the piss out of Argentina is he not?

I think it is a systemic belief in the heads of South Americans that the Falkland Islands are just sat there waiting to be taken and ripe for the picking, all they have to do is find the right bait or enticement.

Is he really suggesting that Argentina prostitutes its better looking young women just to acquire a few Islands that it only wants for Argentinas National honour?
Dec 01st, 2014 - 02:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Perverse or what!?
I cannot believe that any serious person would suggest such a thing, especially the President of a Country. Only people rubbing their err ...hands....in anticipation.... will be a few male Falkland Islander adolescents.

@18
Dec 01st, 2014 - 04:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why the request to point out the completely obvious?
Some things don't need comment or analysis.
However, here is my take on it, as you asked...
The man is a silly old fool, who is having his little jokes at the expense of Argentina. The fact that some of these jokes are in poor taste is only to be expected of him. Another dinosaur on his way to extinction is nothing about which to become overwrought.
He is clearly teasing Argentina. The Falkland Islands are merely the instrument with which to provoke them. The macho insults are merely generic to his cultural heritage.
If anyone should be offended, it should be the Argentines, as it was to them the barbs were intended.
They would only have to send 2 women....Alicia Castro and her good 'working girl' companion,CFK,they already have a mattress strapped to their back !
Dec 01st, 2014 - 05:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The irony is that prior to the 1982 invasion as pointed out in the article this was probably the most realistic way for the Falklands to become part of Argentina.
Dec 01st, 2014 - 05:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The UK had lost interest and the Home Office were actively pushing for the Islands to look towards South America. Argentina was increasing its links and the Islands were increasingly reliant on them for a number of services including the airport.
Argentina had asked to set up a navy base, if that had happened rather then the invasion the process of assimilation would only of sped up. A navy base means accommodation for single personel male and female as well as families moving in for those who were already married.
No doubt that would of led to an increase in intermarriage as well as Argentine Children going to the local school. Thirty years down the line you would have a sizeable Falkland/Argentine mixed community.
Argentina invaded and shot themselves in the foot with that idea....

Dec 01st, 2014 - 05:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As something of a fan of old horror B-movies it's possible to grade things on a quality scale:

So Bad that it's actually Good (as a comedy)
and So Bad that it actually transcends the comedic threshold and is Just Plain Bad
It's a very subjective scale, but I think as ideas go this one falls into the JPB category.

You may be confusing “lack of interest” in women with Misogyny. Or in fact you may be suggesting just that, in which case you will find that you then are a supremacist racist for NOT having chosen an Asian or Indian woman as your wife. Indeed, your apparent championing of “passive personal choice” (in not being interested in women), as misogyny carries as a concomitant the fact that all those who did not choose a black lady/man in dating are racist, all those that did not choose a Jewish person are anti-semites, all those gay men that did not choose a woman are misogynists... and that you are probably all three for not choosing that black jewish lady from Ethiopia as your wife / partner.
So Hans Niesund is racist, anti-Semite, and misogynist. Shame on you sir.

Dec 01st, 2014 - 07:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are of course correct.
It is, in principle an excellent idea. Argentina has a wealth of beautiful women. I am sure that if a few hundred arrived on the islands, the young single men could indeed find them attractive. Mixed race children with an affinity to both the islands and Argentina...why not?
The reason is as you say, the islanders have a choice. The status quo...one of the highest GDP per capitas in the world, a lifestyle and freedom they value and and an excellent society.
Argentina is a failed state, riddled with corruption, crime, fascist propaganda and ghastly dishonest scum like Paulcondom.
The new inhabitants (beautiful Argentine women) would take one look at the choice and join the 99.7% first chance they got.

Send over 1,000 Argentinean woman and nearly all their offspring will think of themselves as Falkland Islanders. And nearly 100% of their children will.
Assimilation always favours the dominant culture. Argentina never have and never will be the dominant culture on the Islands.
But we are talking specifically about the Falklands and the Argentines believing they can slip the Islanders a few quid and they will give up their homes and nationality. It is utterly ridiculous. Though from the comments it would appear that the Falkland Islanders could slip the Argentines a few U.S, dollars and take Argentina. When the oil money comes in…...

Dec 02nd, 2014 - 02:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0I think it was possible to have worked WITH the Falkland Islanders in many ways but that would have needed a mature attitude from Argentine governments.
80. But Galtieri's ultimate objective was domestic, not the conquest of the Falklands in 1982 per se.
Dec 02nd, 2014 - 02:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0He certainly did not wish to break up the Argentine alliance with Washington and end up pandering to the Soviets & Cubans. It's obvious he was counting on a bluff and that Margaret Thatcher would be called off by Reagan as the US had called out Britain, France and Israel during the Suez crisis. And there is massive historical evidence to support this.
Now that is completely different if the objective where to have actually taken over the islands back in those years. It would have just taken a mixture of bribery, increasing economic dependency, immigration, Argentine women, purcheses, grant islanders offices in the government like Romans used to do and so on.
@82 I really don't agree. There is considerable testimony from Argentine military officers that Galtieri was intent on taking the Falklands before moving on to Chile. I am sure it was for domestic distraction but that was still his intention. I also believe he hoped to exploit the relationship with the U.S. as Reagan did, indeed, try to talk Thatcher out of defending the Island. She was not easily 'bought' and Reagan resorted to begging her to leave the Argentines with a little dignity by not attacking the mainland.

For starters Galtieri came from a very pro western side of the military. It was the Navy officers that conditioned his leadership when they toppled Viola under the promise of a land invasion of the islands (1982 J.B Yofre, 2011) when he became president... But that is different from actually going to war with Britain.

Those that don't wash develop massive outbreaks of acne or a unique Anglo malady called “rosacea”. I've seen pictures of this condition and never seen it on argentines. Only on anglo tourists.

Lami Dozo said otherwise:
“According to the original plan code named Rosario, following the capture of the Falklands and no reaction or limited reaction from Britain, the Argentine military would move to take control of the disputed islands in the Beagle Channel which cartographically are decisive for the access control to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.”

It was indeed openly discussed.
Dec 02nd, 2014 - 09:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0In 1982 we owned a large C-band sat dish (5M) which could pick up new and non-encrypted programs in Brasil. This included news from LATAM and Africa that was either uplinked to North America, or downlinked to O Globo and other stations. The stations would take the raw feed, perhaps with or without a commentator from the country sending the footage, and between the recordings, both would chat back and forth explaining things to add a little colour to the newsfeed.
One evening at about 8, one of the Argentine newsmen blurted this out on a C-Band Sat uplink when the war over the islands began. Big Argentine of German decent with red-brown hair and a handlebar mustache. He was talking aggressively, pounding on the table in front of him to accentuate his points, to whomever was taking the sat news feed in North America:
“ First we will ”recover“ the islands, and then we will address ”what is ours “ in the Beagle Channel. ”
Confident yes, but typically block-headed. Didn't work out that way then, and it won't work that way again today.
Unless of course the plan is to distract the citizens yet again.
The Rosario plan, of course was formulated after dialogue, negotiation, and arbitration had produced a result Argentina didn't like. More interestingly, the population subsequently voted to accept the result. Perhaps one day it might be the same for certain other unfounded aggressive territorial ambitions.

The Argentines would never understand this:
CFK: Senoritas, now you have married the Kelpers, you can vote in their next referendum to become Argentine and make your husbands do the same.
Argentine Ladies: What? We have a much better standard of living than we could get in that shithole we left, our husbands have money, and there are no power cuts. Why would we want Argentine sovereignty when that would fuck this place up within 5 years? You Botox features, may well cherish Antonio Rivero, but we chose to emulate Antonina Roxa who started off as a female gaucho working for Vernet, and ended up owning a ranch near Stanley.

Unfortunately Italy and Spain are in your genes and past about the age of 30 on a diet of high carb pasta and rice turns most Latino women into revolting fatties with hooded eyes and greasy sagging skin. In Britain and the Falkland Islands women grow old gracefully and remain attractive which is part of the reason Britain has so many enduring international singers and actresses admired everywhere.

Otherwise, why would they keep pawing the poor sap that is paying big bucks for their upkeep? It happens nearly all the time in PdelE and makes me feel ill.
Once the women are over 50 they revert to the fashions of when they were 18, albeit with stunning figures. It is only when they turn around and you see all the mahogany coloured deeply lined faces that you realise that stunning figure belonged to an over the hill has been.
Next you see the 60 something’s in trouser suits but always with low cut blouses showing off the mahogany tan to her chest: but the tits are now flaps! Uggh.
I cannot imagine why any Islander would want any part of that scenario.

Dec 02nd, 2014 - 06:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0More than beauty behavior is paramount. From passive observations Anglo women (Ozzer, NorthAmoland, Great Brutain), simply have no education whatsoever on the manners of being a classy adult woman. Most dress as if they were cartoon characters: with t-shirts or tops with cartoons, a trillion colors, or the like. Something I also found bizarre is the Anglos love wearing t-shirts with ridiculous slogans like “eat my pie”, or “fuck the police”, or “bitch hit it rich” (I've seen these). I'm talking about adult men and women and they think this is appropriate. They apparently fail to realize everyone around them finds them laughable and of probably low intelligence.
Anglos, just like Slavs, and Scandinavians, also have this bizarre idea that excess drinking to the point of publicly appearing intoxicated is somehow “cool”. 99% of the people I have ever seen publicly drunk are Anglos or one of the other groups. From what I have read it is actually part of going out, so you see men and women drinking for the sake of reaching the point of behaving embarrassingly. One time I saw two American women stripping on top of their car during the wine festival. Then they asked for more wine.
Somehow Anglos think wearing a t-shirt like this:
http://www.lookhuman.com/design/18533-the-man-the-legend
... And being publicly wasted and acting like a twat is a sign of adult deportment. The funniest thing is they think they are being considered “cool”, all argentines around them know better they are the only ones Joe Schmo on whom the joke is.

Yes..., yes, that would have been a ”blankets” invasion. It's wrong that 1,000 guys dominate you, you know what I mean?
They should have been invaded with pillows and mattresses... That's for sure, dude...

In this case Filmus
Pepe's statements in this article, are direct quotes - tense intact.
Your “ translation” is mere paraphrasing, put into the Past Tense.
I do not speak Spanish, nor is this audience meant to - it's an English-Only forum, ergo the story was translated.
Given your own record of “spinning”, omitting, fabricating, misleading, and lying, I am more likely to believe this story was faithfully reproduced by MP, rather than you, Turnip.
For a President of a country to make these statements publicly to the media, is outrageous, regardless of his private thoughts.
For you to disregard that issue, and focus on trying to say he message was subtly “spun” by the news site, reveals that you hold the same values and are equally clueless as to how dehumanising and degrading it is towards women, and how demeaning it is towards Argentine women in particular.
As a “proud Argentine”, and an “enlightened progressive Thinker”, you should have been outraged - you weren't.
Same goes for Pablo Narcissis CabanaBoy.

Dec 02nd, 2014 - 11:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0OK. Finally something we can agree on. As a Swedish taxpayer I am infinitely grateful that the Gripen deal was cancelled. Knowing your country's history of paying bills on time, guess who would have had to pay for those fighter jets in the end?
@149
Dec 02nd, 2014 - 11:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Nice attempt at Gripen-related distraction, but Muijica's remarks are as pertinent today as they would have been if he'd made them forty years ago. There is no better guarantor of the Falklands' current status than Argentina's sense of grievance, couple with an inflated view of its own influence and its inability to grasp the political context in the UK. The K's in this respect are even dumber than the junta was, at least the junta didn't have such a glaring precedent before it.
Ohhhhh...

I assume that you are also infinitely happy that Sverigedemokraterna are, tonight, getting the power they deserve?
A lot of people still seem to be completely missing the most salient point, and going off on silly tangents.
Dec 03rd, 2014 - 12:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0The point being, Pepe was/is teasing the Argentinos. He is taking the piss. He is also insulting their sense of machismo whilst expressing his own.
He said 'football and pretty Argentinas would work better than your crap military'.
He is just being a mischevious old dog, enjoying his fading limelight. He knows he is in a position to insult Argentina and no one will say anything.
So if anyone should take offence over his supposedly humorous remarks, that should be Argentina.
Doh!

Dec 03rd, 2014 - 02:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0Pepe was just just using the Falklands as the 'stick' to poke the 'dog'. He could have used anything, anything at all, (the Economy/the Default etc.) but knows this is a scab on the Argentine psyche.
He was just teasing them. It worked. His slightly crass comments certainly hit home.

The story made Argentina look much better when we all believed Mujica was talking in the present tense. But now, thanks to you highlighting it was in the past tense..... well Argentina looks even more like Fuktardia than usual.
It makes me a little sad when you make Argentina look so bad Think.... takes away some of my joy in visiting this site.

No schools; there are two main schools and several settlement schools, and a dedicated space for 6th formers at one of the top schools in the UK.
No university; well of course not. No island of 300o people has a university. We do have access to any university in the UK or beyond, paid for by FIG.
No 'proper' hospital? It saved my life once. We also have access to top quality medical care in Chile and in the UK, paid for by FIG.
