The British media spend hours agitating for British forces to intervene abroad but they seem oblivious to the fact that these forces are now at the disposal of the EU (Lisbon was fully implemented on 1/11/14). Do the journalists really not understand that this has happened or are they keeping the British public in the dark? Other European States see Lisbon as the beginning of Europe as an independent security and foreign policy power (see below) but the British are hiding this aspect of the EU.

This is another outrageous offense against the Argentine people and an insult to all South Americans by these pompous islanders calibrating their fantasy of victory over the true rightful owners of the islands.
Jun 02nd, 2015 - 12:18 am 0Buenos Aires, May 31 (Casa Rosada) -- this “ANNIVERSARY” much touted by English pirate puppet regime is no more than a crafty trick to cover up the crimes it perpetrated against the nation by pushing the peaceful Argentine people to an extreme pitch of tension through its moves to escalate confrontation with our region and shift the blame for the escalated tension on to it, says Argentine president Cristina Fernandez, Sunday in an article.
The puppet regime is the hordes of confrontation maniacs who deliberately laid a stumbling block in the way for the south Atlantic dialogue by perpetrating hideous provocations against and unhesitatingly scuppered the opportunity for mending the two nation's relations, the article says, and goes on:
The puppet regime has gone mad in its treacherous bid to achieve “unification of island squatter social systems,” while malignantly hurting the inviolable dignity and social system of Argentina. It is, indeed, a mockery and insult to all Argentines for it to trumpet about “dialogue.”
It is, indeed, ridiculous for the regime to try to evade the responsibility for the deteriorating relations by employing such poor gimmick.
Towering high at present is the indignation of Argentines from all walks of life at the British puppet regime which has thrown the South American relations and the whole society into crises by enforcing policy of confrontation with Argentina and misrule.
The illegal puppet ruling forces petroleum exploitation racket for confrontation with Argentina will only worsen their ruling crisis and precipitate their final ruin, cursed and censured by all of the world. It is too late for them to improve their miserable lot already sealed through delirious thoughts from the true motherland.
(Just for fun...)
