Plenty of Cristina's friends referred to the Malvinas claim at the UN
Although president Cristina Fernandez, to the surprise of many, did not mention a word about Argentina's claim over the Falkland Islands, particularly since this was her last address to the UN General Assembly, Minister Hector Timerman said that nobody could doubt the president's commitment to the Malvinas question, and there were plenty of mentions to the issue from allied countries.

'Closer to Argentina, Bolivia's Evo Morales said that the Malvinas Islands are “Argentina and Latin American” and must be returned to Argentina, the same way “we demand that the US returns Guantanamo to Cuba and lifts the economic blockade”.'....
Sep 30th, 2015 - 09:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0Just shows how little knowledge they have of the Falklands, if they can suggest it is the same as Guantanamo. It actually makes the claim look even more ridiculous to the rest of the intelligent world if you try and bundle those two up together. but i guess this is all for internal and SA consumption. Brothers together against the Anglo's, eh.
Gosh! With support like that from this bunch of loonies how can Argentina fail? Lol!

@4 Alejomartinez,

The Falklands are OURS & NEVER have belonged to Argentina.
Cry just as much as you like, Alex.
We will just laugh.

Interesting how exercised some of the RGs are about the production of our little booklet correcting the lies of Ruda. Must be hitting a tender spot. Especially interesting they worry about how much it cost. Well I don't know, but I imagine not much. And compared to the massive Malvinas machine in the Argentine MFA not a blip.

@4. Another funny article.
Sep 30th, 2015 - 12:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0(1) Did you happen to notice that the British discovered the Islands in 1690? Settlement started almost immediately. Legally established as British territory in 1745. Jewett was never sent to the Falklands. He was, initially, a privateer and then, due to his seizure of Portuguese vessels, a pirate. A criminal cannot legally act on behalf of a state. Did Magellan land? Any records?
(2) Where was the “force”? Did any British vessel or armed forces open fire? Throwing trespassers off one's land is not an unreasonable action.
(3) Did you throw the British protests from the consulate in Montevideo in the bin?
(4) Not true. Britain agreed not to establish any NEW settlements. The Falkland Islands weren't NEW. They'd been British for more than forty years.
(5) Not their business.
(6) The Government of the Falkland Islands is recognised, legally, by the UN. It's a “trust” territory and the UK is the trustee. If the Falkland Islands Government carried out “illegal” actions, how come argieland was a party to them?
The argie “people” will forever be disappointed if they hope for “recovery” of something that was never theirs.
@5. Remember the last time? We gave the argies a little smack on their wrist. Would you like to know what happens if Britain really goes to war? Why don't you keep your dumb nose out of things that don't concern you?
So when do we hear Argentina’s expression of reciprocal support for Bolivia’s claim against Chile, Venezuela’s claim against Guyana, Ecuador’s claim against Chevron, best of all China’s claims to some of almost all of its neighbours territories.
Sep 30th, 2015 - 04:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They are going to want quid pro quo in this, Argentina will end up upsetting a lot of countries if they do, or its only friends if it doesn’t.
Sometimes you get the distinct impression that TinPot doesn’t quite think thing through properly.

Repeated untruths at the UN
Sep 30th, 2015 - 05:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This brief paper examines the historical assertions made by Argentina at the UN, which have remained largely unchanged since José María Ruda’s presentation in 1964. His speech would be hard to beat for sheer concentrated inaccuracy. Among many others, he made the following untrue assertions, some repeatedly – the number in brackets at right indicates how many times he stated each one:
1. That Spain made an express reservation of its sovereignty in the treaty of 22 January 1771 which ended the crisis caused by Spain’s peacetime attack on the British establishment at Port Egmont in 1770; (6)
2. That Argentina put a governor in the Falklands in 1823; (1)
3. That Britain expelled the Argentine population from the Falklands in 1833; (5)
4. That the Argentine inhabitants resisted the British “invaders”; (2)
5. That Britain replaced the Argentine inhabitants with British subjects; (2)
6. That there has been no international agreement to confirm Britain’s possession of the Falklands; (1)
7. That Argentina has never accepted Britain’s possession of the Falklands; (3)
8. That Argentina has never ceased to protest at Britain’s possession of the Falklands; (6)
9. That Argentina’s claim is imprescriptible, i.e. eternal unless freely given up; (2)
10. That the present Falkland Islanders are a temporary population; (2)
11. That Britain’s possession of the Falklands violates the territorial integrity of Argentina; (4)
12. That Britain seized South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands by force from Argentina. (2)
All those assertions are untrue.
So Curly, Mo and Larry, mentioned Lost Malvinas.

As far as boundaries established through warfare or other means in the 19th Century and before, are concerned, they are ancient history, and very unlikely, if not impossible in some cases, to be changed....
But following your brainless logic, and considering that Brazil has officially handed back a bit more than 1,0 million sq km of its territory to the indians (numbering only a few hundred thousand) , they'll still need to hand back another 7.5 million sq. km ...Don't you think ? Then we can all pay rent to the indians.

Likewise with Brazil-go back to Portugual where you belong and hand back Brazil to the natives you implants stole that land from.
Well, Brasileiro?

When are you leaving for Portugal, you implant?
When are you going to return Brazil to its rightful, real owners?
Whats the matter?
Didn't think that we would notice your thievery, l suppose.
Hypocrite.
You need a reality check.
This is not the 19th century.

How can you “give back” something which is already in the possession of the rightful owner?
You need to stop lying.
Yep, Pele should be repatriated to Africa. Oops but he speaks English so according to brass hole He is Anglo Saxon so should be sent back to UK where I'm sure he would be more than welcome for his sportsmanship and charm.
