This is not some stupid troll sounding off on MP, but the Foreign Minister of a supposedly civilised country. What a disgrace this pathetic little man is, he is not worthy to be part of the human race.

The Argentines view the Falkland Islanders in a similar way to how the Nazis viewed the Jews. Cameron has been negligent to the point of criminal in running down the UK's defence. If there is another invasion, then the British people will demand a resolute and determined response.

The certainty of the invaders over “its” sovereignty over the Malvinas Argentinas Islands:
Mar 24th, 2015 - 03:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“It is not at all clear to me that we never ever held sovereignty over these islands”, Duke of Wellington, Prime Minister, 1829.
“The British occupation of 1833 was at the time an act of wanton aggression”, Memorandum of the British Foreign Office official, 1946.
“The only question was who had the best claim as we are attaching for the first time the islands. I think undoubtedly were the United Provinces of Buenos Aires”, Ronald Campbell, secretary of foreign affairs, 1911.
“Sitting down hard on the islands and avoid talking to the Argentines, because we could not sustain our arguments in court”, legal counsel for the Foreign Office, Gerald Fitzmaurice, 1936.
“Britain fully recognizes the sovereignty of the Argentine public authorities on the territories in which proclaim their jurisdiction...”, Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Trade between Argentina and Great Britain, 1825, (after the Argentina take possession, 1820).
“If you carefully read the memorandum of December 1910, surely must have realized that Argentina's attitude is not ridiculous or childish. I had assumed that our right to the Malvinas Islands was irrefutable. This is far from being the case”, Sir Malcolm Robertson, ambassador to Argentina, 1927.
“While the Committee believes that the historical evidence is finely balanced, we are forced to conclude that the weight of evidence argues for the position of Argentine bonds to the islands, at least the eastern islands, which was, while the British occupation in 1833, more substance than it was or is accepted by government officials in the UK. In this conclusion we are supported not only by the evidence we were given during the investigation but also by doubts on this matter were repeatedly expressed by British officials during the early part of the century”, Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Commons, in 1982, immediately after the war ...
Oh yes, we support you alright.

Mar 24th, 2015 - 03:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Fallon doesn't want to “militarize” the Falklands at all. He's reviewing the forces put there for *defensive* purposes, to defend the legitimate inhabitants of the Falkland Islands.
It wasn't too long ago that one of the powers of Mercosur launched an illegal invasion and attempted to subjugate the Islanders.
Are you honestly saying that the Islands should be isolated simply for taking legitimate self-defense precautions?
Fighting talk from both sides , eh ?
Mar 24th, 2015 - 03:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It must be coming up to April .
Paulie- all this prattle about “militarization”!!!
Mar 24th, 2015 - 04:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Please give us ONE - just a teeny little ONE example of where Britain has further militarized the South West Atlantic since 1982.
I do not mean replacements
I do not mean where old weapons-planes or ships are replaced with new ones
None of the above have anything to do with the world “militarization” do they?
They are just like you when your old car gets old and falls to bits - you replace it - does not mean you are a more aggressive roadhog and driver does it|?
Some facts for you:
During the 1980s post 1982 the Royal Navy used to keep FOUR destroyers and frigates on full time patrol around the Islands .
Now we have ONE small patrol vessel with a little 30mm gun and just ONE frigate or destroyer here for a few weeks once every 3-4 months or so!
At one time post 1982 the Army had pretty well a full Battalion of 1000 men in the Islands - nowadays we have a reinforced Infantry Company of about 150.
So come on then - where is this massive “militarization” you and you idiotic Govt talks about?
Give us some examples - or stop talking the same tripe as you Ambassador embarrassment in London does!
Even the £180million on equipment and building replacements is spread over 10 years - it is peanuts and just carries on the existing policy of replacing old when it gets beyond usefull life.
Not new investment!
But then Paulie- you and lady muck in your embassy in London have not got the brains to understand anyway!
Perhaps it is time that we actually did militarize the Islands, after all that is what the idiots in charge of Argentina are forever telling the world. Lets install some nukes, up troop numbers, have a permanent naval presence of a couple of destroyers and a dozen fighters.
Mar 24th, 2015 - 04:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Then start regular direct flights to Ascension and on the the Islands. Ban the imports of anything from Argentina stop any flights from Argentina overflying or landing at any British territory, same with Argentinian flagged shipping (if they have any) Any time they mention the islands complain to the UN and post open letters in every south american news paper LOL

The SDSR and Future Force 2020 were based on the fundamental assumption that British forces should be structured to deploy a single brigade formation to a single key theater such as Afghanistan and sustain it there
Michael Fallon dismissed the committee's recommendations
The suggestion that we need to rebuild our defense capabilities is nonsense.
we have been able to commit to spending over £160 billion on equipment over the next decade to keep Britain safe — including new joint strike fighters, hunter killer submarines, two aircraft carriers and the most advanced armored vehicles.

Mar 24th, 2015 - 08:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Presenting one side of a debate without the other, or the final outcome, is like Alberto Bertorelli's lauding of Italian victories in WW2 :
28.08.1936 Eden responds to Ambassador Henderson, noting; “… you should be aware that the legal basis of the claim is far less weak than at one time supposed…
In the first place, 100 years possession, whether disputed or not, should found a perfectly sound title to sovereignty over the islands in international law, and there should be very little danger of such a title failing of recognition by the Permanent Court of International Justice or an international tribunal. Meanwhile, each year that passes, and in addition the celebration of the centenary of British occupation, strengthen His Majesty’s Government’s case. At the same time there is reason to doubt whether, in fact, Argentina ever had any grounds of claim to the islands at all. In the diplomatic exchanges of 1833 the case would seem to have been argued upon the wrong grounds by both sides.
It would seem that the events in the 18th century were irrelevant, that the islands had become completely unoccupied in 1811, and that they had to be considered at that time as ‘res nullius’ open to the occupation of any State. Further, unless the occupation of the privateer Vernet, whom the Argentine Government tried rather unsuccessfully to clothe with their authority, can be considered to have been an Argentine occupation, the islands were ‘res nullius’ at the time of the British reoccupation in 1832. To sum up, His majesty’s Government’s case may be considered to rest upon two alternative grounds -
(i) The islands were res nullius at the time at the time of the British occupation in 1832 ....
(ii) If (i) is wrong, and if, in 1832, Argentina had possessed sovereignty, Great Britain has been in peaceable, though not undisputed, possession for 100 years, and has therefore acquired a title by prescription.”

But you silly lot went and “blew it”” and cheered your Dictators when they invaded!
Since 1982 we have no political uncertainty about our future(its in our hands)
A growing economy
Outside Investment
A growing population
Young people return to the Islands after their studies and education
Rising Living Standards

Argentina meanwhile slides further downhill.

the missiles will not arrive for another couple of years,
its just referendum talk,

then fate will take a hand , CFK will certainly leg it to Russia or Cuba,
And the poor argies will have to pick up the pieces again,

“...it is hereby further agreed and concluded, that neither the Catholic King, nor any of his heirs and successors whatsoever, shall sell, yield, pawn, transfer, or by any means, or under any name, alienate from them and the crown of Spain, to the French, or to any other nations whatever, any lands, dominions, or territories, or any part thereof, belonging to Spain in America.”
Also, the Nootka Convention: ”...Article VI provided that neither party would form new establishments on any of the islands adjacent to the east and west coasts of South America then occupied by Spain....... there was an additional secret article which stipulated that Article VI shall remain in force only so long as no establishment shall have been formed by the subjects of any other power on the coasts in question. This secret article had the same force as if it were inserted in the convention.......The United Provinces of the River Plate was not a party to the convention. Therefore it is defined in the convention as 'other power' and the occupation of the settlement (at Port Louis) by subjects of any other power negated Article VI and allowed Great Britain to re-assert prior sovereignty and form new settlements.”

Quite a track record, though, sounds like they'd have fit right in with the Argentine Military :
“Anti-partisan actions
The Decima was mostly employed in anti-partisan actions on land, rather than against the Allies at sea. Their anti-partisan actions usually took place in small villages, where the partisans were stronger. Some examples:
Forno: 68 persons, mostly civilians and some partisans, were killed by a combination of SS members and Xª MAS forces.[21][22]
Guadine: Random violence to terrorize a population believed to be supporting the rebels, almost complete destruction of the village by fire.[23]
Borgo Ticino: Together with the SS, murder of 12 civilians, pillage and destruction of the village by fire on the grounds that three German soldiers had been wounded by partisans.[24]
Castelletto Ticino: In order to give ”a demonstration of firmness“ against ”crime“, a Xª MAS officer had five petty criminals publicly gunned down, having taken care to gather a large crowd in order to terrorise them.[25]
Crocetta del Montello: Episodes of torture with whips and gasoline and summary executions of partisans.[26]”

If the Falklands were invaded then I think the British reaction would be to hit the Argentinian mainland with cruise missiles targeted against air force bases and naval installations, thus preventing any reinforcements.
Airdropped Parachute regiment troops could be flown in by C-17's and A300M Atlas using air-to-air refuelling.
Sandy Woodward was making a case for saving the navy from more cuts.
He was assuming -wrongly- that the situation now is the same as in 1982.
The difference bring that we now have a garrison of troops on site instead of 60 men.

It has cemented her claim of sovereignty while Argentina has irretrievably lost any entitlement to a legal claim. Any opportunity to use force by Argentina is now past. One she is too weak, and secondly she would be subject to such an an economic blockade by the UN that her fragile economy would be irretrievably damaged.
If the UK were to become too weak militarily to ensure the Islands protection, she could unitarily submit the issue to the ICJ for a legal advisory opinion. The inevitable result would so shock world opinion and condemn Argentina to a permanent pariah status.
Your hero Kohen agrees thus: “Time is running against Argentina because the British have possession of the territory,”

Some nationalities are just impossible to reason with. They only recognize international law when it's in their favor.

Argentina stupidly invaded the islands thinking that a daughter of a shopkeeper would realize the futility of trying to retake from over 8 thousand miles away...
“Ron, I'm not handing over. I'm not handing over the islands now. I didn't lose some of my best ships and some of my finest lives to leave quietly under a ceasefire without the Argentines withdrawing.” (Margaret Thatcher 31/05/1982 to Ronald Reagan)
