Same article as the next one.

After the meeting the only mention of how Crisis Fernandez de Kirchner stuck it up the UK will come from Argentine Government sources; not the meeting's synopsis, minutes or transcripts.

Therefore, Timmerman - stop trying to interfere in Islands that are not yours!

The 'Children' ruling TDC just cannot stop making themselves out as idiots with all this nonsense dredged up at every international meeting they attend.
Apr 11th, 2015 - 11:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0It is getting boring in the extreme.
No doubt POLLY will be on here claiming the whole world supports the children even though the majority are jibber-jabber users and incapable of seeing the truth.
You know what's most disconcerting about this? the frequency with which these things keep coming round.

Apr 11th, 2015 - 01:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The reason I suspect that there is no news in this article, is because the argentine regime brings nothing, to these meetings as they have nothing to bring, except the usual banal squealing fixation.
It's utterly pointless for MercoPress to have a journalist waste their time.
Like the star that she isn't, she arrives an hour late and misses the inaugural photo shoot, leaving the four eyed git to his own devices.

Everything that you all say is totally correct. But just take a look at those three Typhoons. Are they not beautiful? And those three aircraft, and the single reserve, have argieland scared shitless. Is it the aircraft or the pilots? Isn't it a bit like argieland going into full military alert over a single destroyer? IF the UK is engaged in 'militarisation', through updating aircraft, vessels, missile systems over the course of 33 years, what does argieland call its attempts to acquire Chinese J-10 and/or JF-17 combat aircraft? And the 2 Chinese 'Malvinas-class' corvettes? So argieland won't mind if a 'flight' of 4 Typhoons is replaced by a squadron. And the single Royal Navy offshore patrol vessel is joined by a second one. Or perhaps a fleet submarine. Anyone taken a look at Mare Harbour? All those roads that go nowhere.

Apr 11th, 2015 - 09:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh my friend, you gotta laff!!!
'Militarization' of the Falklands and UK alleged spying on Argentina, will have priority in the Argentine leader's speech, anticipate Buenos Aires sources
Of course it is!!! 'cos KFC has NOTHING else to bring to the table!!! She is an idiot who is clinging to power by distraction, corruption and violence.
It appears that she has pulled the wool over the eyes of her own people so completely that all they do is lap up her lies ( apologies, as always, go to Simon68 ).
Can you stop the merry-go-round? I would REALLY like to get off!!!

It is a well known fact that documents have been intentionally destroyed proving the massacring of the original settlers by the British. But some historians are claiming to have found fresh evidence.

Apr 11th, 2015 - 10:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0G'day my friend. As predicted in my post at #3: there was no mention of Cpl Jones sticking it up the Fuzzy Wuzzies. They don't like it up em.
I guess we'll have to wait until Argentina make a press release to tell us what she said at the summit. Lots of news about Obama and Castro but no news about Cpl Jones and the Fuzzy Wuzzies.
What a crap article. The text doesn't relate to the headline.
Apr 12th, 2015 - 02:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0The most interesting thing I have read here is @14 Idlehands' comment on the photo!
As for the British spying on Argentina?
Well, yeah... of course! You didn't see that one coming?
Idoits!
I reside in the UK and if GCHQ wasn't spying on Argentina I would be demanding a discount on my Tax!

Apr 12th, 2015 - 05:43 am - Link - Report abuse 0It is well known that the Argentine claim to sovereignty of the Falklands/Malvinas consists of fairy tales, myths, lies and false accounts of historical events; I see you are now adding to the long list of lies - or is your allegation a fairy tale?
¡Nabo de m====a!
The article doesn't even mention the Kretina's personal gripe about the Falklands, because it is totally irrelevant to the issues meant to be discussed at the Summit.

It is a well known fact that the Argentine documents are here:

Apr 13th, 2015 - 08:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0True, the headline and introduction don’t match the content of the article. But seriously, here we have the historic rapprochement between the Unites States and Cuba and the plastic lady thinks she is going to steal the limelight with the usual Argentine diatribe about their phony Falklands claim.
These people exist is a seperate universe.
Lost in space...lol
Apr 13th, 2015 - 06:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0History says in 1830 Great Britain were in control of the The Falkland Islands/In 1982 April Argentina ILLEGALLY INVADED THE Falkland Islands.ILLEGALLY.Great Britain regained rightful control of its own ialands.Both sides lost good men in the Falklands War.But on 14th June 1982 .GENERAL MENENDEZ SURRENDERED All Falkland Islands to General Moore ,General in charge of all British Forces .With the effect of 2359hrs on 14th June 1982 .At that time the British goverment regained rightful ownership of the falklands islands.In 2013 the Falkland Islands residents voted to remain Britains Control.That surrender document of 1982 and the vote of 2013 remain in British control ,until decreed otherwise.End of story ok out.

The argies never 'owned' the Falklands, they only had 'possession', not even under bare licence terms.
This is not a 'nicety' we do not want these idiots claims of ownership enhanced even inadvertently.

http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2013/03/the-united-states-should-recognize-british-sovereignty-over-the-falkland-islands
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon recently stated: “[T]he impression is that people living under those conditions [of colonialism] should have [a] certain level of capacities to decide their own future, and this is the main criteria from the main U.N. bodies: achieving independence or having [a] certain degree of self government in their territories.” He also added, however, that “I don’t think it [the Falkland Islands] is an issue of abuse or violation of relevant U.N. resolutions.”[
In the context of Argentina’s campaign of intimidation, the unbroken record of British sovereignty over the Islands, and the wishes of the Falkland Islanders themselves, the U.S. policy is wrong. It is also dangerous. By regularly calling for negotiations, the U.S. is encouraging Argentina to persist in its campaign. If Argentina should take military action against the Islands
the U.S. would be partly responsible for encouraging that aggression. The only threat to the peace of the South Atlantic derives from Argentina: By siding with Argentina, the U.S. is making that threat worse.
The U.S. also risks the loss of British sympathy and access to British bases around the world. Finally, by refusing to respect the results of the referendum, the U.S. is helping to deny the Islanders the right to choose their own form of government, a right on which the U.S. itself was founded.
Kirchner’s mention of U.N. resolutions is telling, if irrelevant: The resolutions in question were adopted by the U.N. General Assembly and therefore lack binding legal authority.
U.N. Resolution 1514 of 1960, which Argentina claims supports its case, refers clearly to the fact that “all peoples have the right to self-determination and in virtue of that right can freely determine their political condition
