Mar 26th, 2015 - 08:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder did the C24 take up the FIGs kind offer for them to come and visit the Falklands to see how they could help the islanders achieve, or even just confirm, their decolonisation? Or do the C24 just prefer to meet with each other year after year, wasting time and resources - condemning the people who pay their dinner and hotel bills while obstructing and being condescending to the very people they are supposed to being helping? It's suprising that they aren't more embarassed about this.
The UK is continually in a state of war take note and remember that for all your jingonistic actions. The veiled threats the new note the plastic dolly you worship the buying s/h bombers.

Mar 26th, 2015 - 09:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0Not that it will do you any good but while you're at the C24 do make sure you explain to them why your government cronies took the time to explain that the new battle ships you plan to get from China will be called 'Malvinas Class' and that the bombers you hope to get from Russia will have a range capable of reaching Stanley.
The whole world knows you gutless wonders would be in here the day after the Mt Pleasant garrison packed up. Just like 1982 when you thought you'd overrun the islands and nobody would come to do anything about it.
If you had any real claim you know you'd take it to the ICJ.
They can take the UK before the C24 if they wish. I'd like to see the UK representative offer ICJ arbitration at that meeting and watch Timerman squirm.
Mar 26th, 2015 - 09:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina has refused ICJ arbitration precisely because they have no legal, historical or moral case for their claims over British territory.
The legitimate inhabitants of the Falkland Islands voted on their future not too long ago, in free and fair elections. As such, they have achieved self-determination and decolonisation. The C24 is an inappropriate venue for complaints about Britain excercising its right to defend it's sovereign territory.
“...insists that the UK must comply with the forty UN resolutions and sit to talk about the Falklands/Malvinas sovereignty...“
And so we did. The UN resolutions require that the interests of the legitimate inhabitants of the Falkland Islands be taken into account. We did this in the fairest way possible, by having members of the Islanders represent their interests.
Argentina's ambassador refused to even be in the same room as those representatives. It is fair and truthful to say that *Argentina* is the one refusing to abide by UN resolutions, not us.
Argentina also refuses to negotiate in good faith. Their constitution was rewritten to push their fake claim to the Falklands, and insist that any ”negotiation” end with them taking the sovereignty they've tried and failed to usurp twice already.
These measures ensure that a reasonable settlement cannot be negotiated.
There are only two outcomes that are fair for all sides in the dispute:
1 - Argentina accepts ICJ arbitration and attempts to prove its case. They'll lose, but at least it's taken to the appropriate venue.
2 - Argentina drops all of their claims, acknowledges the undisputable truth that they've lied all along, and apologises to all of the UN for wasting their time. That would take a modicum of honour and honesty their politicians lack.
It's their choice.
Bwahahahahahaha!

Just out of curiosity, can Argentina force the UK before the C24, i don't think they can, or is this for internal consumption. Are they hoping that the great unwashed are gullible in thinking that they are forcing a resolution from the UN. The C24 is bound to side with Argentina's flawed logic as it is the old boys SA club, will this be put forward to the voting public as a great victory at the UN.
Mar 26th, 2015 - 10:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0The embarrassment for Argentina is that for all their bravado, bluster and talk about new Malvinas Class Ships, fighter/bombers that can reach Stanley, they are just that empty words and threats, when someone reacts to it, they don't like it.
Typical bully boys tactics from the Arg Government always the first to cry when confronted.
why are they hell bent on trying to get us to reduce military all the while Argentina is expanding theirs, we are not stupid!
Mar 26th, 2015 - 10:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0It reminds me of their attitude towards the Belgrano . Starting a war, sending their ships into battle and then 'shock horror', we sink it.
Mar 26th, 2015 - 10:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0They seem to think that they can go ahead and upgrade their military and we will just sit back and think nothing of it.
They should be very concerned about the new air defence system, the FLAADS, a land-based air defence system. The missiles from the system would be able to travel at 1,000 metres per second and defend against threats, including jets or cruise missiles travelling at supersonic speeds.
I suppose they will react the same way as the Belgrano when they send their new shiny jets to attack the Falklands and they end up in the sea on the edge of the EEC.
The Falkland Islanders can go to bed a night under attack and wake up in the morning after a sound sleep to the great news that their air defence system has wiped out Argentina's entire air force

Of course the UK doesn't need to park nuclear weapons off Argentina's shores. If we truly wanted to make Buenos Aires 'glow in the dark' we could just as easily do it from Scotland than from the Falklands.
Aren't you embarrassed that your government will be taking this non-issue, to an impotent 4th rate committee of the UN?
Not that it matters who they go to at the UN, whether it be the Security Council, General Assembly or the International Court of Justice, because NONE of these bodies have the right to interfere in the internal sovereign matter of defence or economics.
So the usual will happen. Argentina's 'lackeys' will make a few soothing noises, Argentina will come out with a stupid 'the whole world supports us' statement, and the British will build the school and modernise its defences.
And Argentina will still be as ignored and as impotent as ever.

Mar 26th, 2015 - 03:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@32. Of course there are nuclear warheads on the Falkland Islands. What are we? Stupid? Think about how we suddenly reduced the number of warheads. What did we do with them? These things are expensive. So we ship them off to where nobody would think to look. More on this subject. Remember how the argies complained that British warships sailed into the South Atlantic in 1982 with nuclear weapons aboard? They were off-loaded. Where? Which British warships could use them? Shells with nuclear warheads? Nuclear depth bombs. Nuclear sea mines?
Important words for argies to bear in mind. 'Deterrent' and 'threat'. If argieland starts something, will it find that the Falkland Islands are surrounded by remote-controlled nuclear minefields? Will its submarine be destroyed by a nuclear depth bomb? What British military equipment can fire nuclear shells? Can a nuclear warhead to be fitted to a CAMM(A) type surface to air missile? Imagine an anti-aircraft missile that can destroy every aircraft within 50 miles of the detonation point.
@34. Are you bored? Think of today as Shoot-a-Slug day. SS day for short.
@44. Quite right. Wonder why argies have trouble with the knowledge that ALL General Assembly resolutions are NON-BINDING. Therefore there isn't ONE single resolution that the UK has to comply with. Isn't Security Council resolution 502 still extant? Requiring argies to get off the Islands.
@46. Ice-water? I understand that a swan dive into the Rio de la Plata from 5,000 feet has quite an effect.
Serious question for the adherents to the Malvinas Lie:
Mar 26th, 2015 - 03:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You insist that we have “usurped” your territory, and that the legitimate inhabitants of the Falklands are in fact “squatters”. Both you and I know neither of those claims are true, but for the sake of the question, let's pretend they are.
In that case, you'd be able to prove your claim of sovereignty. The *only* place that can arbitrate on matters of sovereignty is the ICJ, not the C24.
If you are so sure of your claims, why have you never agreed to ICJ arbitration over this dispute? Heck, if you win, you could get what you've wanted before the year is up.
Why continue insisting on bad-faith negotiations when you can resolve this far more quickly at the ICJ?
I personally think that the Argentine government has all the right to feel threatened by the UK funding improved educational facilities got the island inhabitants.

How predictably pathetic, Argentina needs to realise that British defence expenditure is:
a. None of its business,
b. None of its business, and
c. None of its business.
And, by the way, a tin pot miserable little country like Argentina, doesn’t take the UK anywhere, they can make representations and complain as much as they like but that’s as far as it goes.

a) has no authority over sovereign defence expenditure
b) doesn't really care about Argentina's repetitious bullshit complaints
1. Argentina has no business with the internal decisions made by the democratically elected British Government.
Mar 27th, 2015 - 12:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 02. Britain is quite to hold discussions with Argentina - but Argentina must agree to talk to the Falkland Islanders as part of these discussions. Sovereignty MUST never be an issue.
The UN don't help itself,
Mar 27th, 2015 - 01:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0it should post a great big note on its doors,
Dear Argentina go away,
or soddy offy,
or even CFK not welcome.
just a thought
Because Argentina is a constant 'live threat' to the free Falkland Islands, the UK should submit a formal complaint to the UN Security Council.

Falklands' defence expenditure increase' will be taken before the UN, says Argentina
Mar 27th, 2015 - 08:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Will they also complain abt the rise in military expenditure of?
China, Russia, Germany, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and ISIS,
Or is this just another typical Anti British rhetoric again.
Britain should take Argentina to the UN for harrasment.
oh and of course themselves, Argentina is also increasing its military..

“A nice logical debate in speaking voices won't get you anywhere with them”
Sad but true. The UK were reasonable (too soft) with the Junta pre-1982 when we tried to see their side and the reward was to be disrespected and initiate an illegal invasion.
In fact, when Britain gave out a warning on 23rd march 1982 that any Argentine forces anywhere, interfering with our forces would be liable to attack, Galteiri, pissed on Scottish Whisky, laughed at the warning.
He was not laughing when the Belgrano got hit (his/Alien- face Anaya's fault), and soon shit himself when he realised the UK was not bluffing but playing its ace cards.
I note that despite being a serving Army General, Galteiri did not personally command the Falklands garrison, but stayed 1000 miles away getting pissed, while his men got hammered.
The Argentines have not changed.
They are happy pelting an unarmed TV crew with stones but they would shit themselves if Clarkson and Co had shot back with rifles.
Same thing-Galteiri, fine when Argies were killing unarmed civilians but not quite so good when the Brits turned up to the party.
Nothing has changed-same with Rivero in 1833/1834, same with Mestivier's men in 1832-1833. against unarmed civilians fine, but when lightly armed Brits turned up, time to get out the white flags.
I think Argentina should take the Mapuches to the UN .
Mar 28th, 2015 - 07:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0According to “El Malvinense” they have declared war on Argentina , “usurped ” vast quantities of territories and run families off their land .

“We repudiate the war-mongering and militaristic attitude of the UK”
Mar 28th, 2015 - 08:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There is SO MUCH that we repudiate in the general attitude of argentina, but we won't list it all here...........
I haven't got enough characters, time or will.
Where are all the malvinistas? They appear to be conspicuously absent in this discussion.
Mar 29th, 2015 - 12:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0What a laugh Argentina suggesting taken the Falklands and Britain to the UN given that they are also trying to rearm their forces. Surely it is a principle right to match potential force build up of any aggressive Country who's only intention is to steal another's home. Will be quite interesting to see the outcome of this latest plan.
