Malvinas Islands' claim: Tierra del Fuego is 'absolutely strategic”
Tierra del Fuego is 'absolutely strategic“ for Argentina's foreign policy because of the Malvinas Islands claim question, integration with Chile and the current process of re-industrialization, according to the country's Deputy foreign minister Eduardo Zuain who this week visited Ushuaia to coordinate actions beginning ”next December” when the elected governor Rosana Bertone takes office.

Can any Argentine please list the “successful” items on their Malvinas programme?
Oct 23rd, 2015 - 09:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0I mean those that are REAL and DEFINATIVE and have REAL effect on the Islands.
NOT just groups of meaningless words uttered by some to keep CFK happy and shut her up a bit but mean nothing in reality.
These after all have happened regular for generations and achieve little other than shutting Buenos Aires up a bit and not screeching at their neighbours all the time1
“Our search for Lebensraum continues, proclaims nostalgic, lying Argy-Nazi” should be the headline.

Sorry, the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, the South Sandwich Islands and Queen Elizabeth Land are British Sovereign Territory, and you lot can get knotted.

Oct 23rd, 2015 - 12:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Except in the ICJ, which is the only legal venue that could rule on the sovereignty dispute.
The only reason not to use the ICJ is that they know their claim is false.
Dream on, huevones!

Many Argentines awake from their dream and still believe it.
Anybody heard if that Argy 'Calling the Falklands ' radio programme is still on air?
And Terra Del Fuego's provincial rule over the Falklands and South Georgia hasn't seemed to have evicted the Islanders or HM Armed Forces, and as far as I am aware, Islanders are still driving on the left side of the road, administering themselves in English and running their own government completely oblivious to any dictats from 'the land of fire.' (so called because of the Argentine farts being lit, as they try to blow them eastwards).
Its the whole 'integration' with Chile that sounds most ominous. A bit like the Junta when they were going to 'integrate' Chile into Argentina.
Oct 23rd, 2015 - 02:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Of course, like their dreams of owning the Falklands, their dream of an Argentine empire that stretches from Atlantic to Pacific, and the Southern most tip of South America to Central America, is all bulls!t.
And they'll no more be 'integrating' Chile into Argentina than they will the Falklands. And if they try the Chileans are just waiting to give them a bloody nose and humiliate them again...like the UK did in 1982.
You have to wonder, sometimes, whether Argentina's desperate attempts to obtain military hardware is not so much a threat to the Falkland Islands, but to their immediate neighbours.
Yes, absolutely. And therefore, “Aeropuerto Internacional Islas Malvinas”
Oct 23rd, 2015 - 04:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0should be immediately renamed “International Airport Falkland Islands.”

Bravo for Zuain, great for him and for Argentina. The claim is unrelinqueshed and guess what? There is not need, no willingness to engage in any military act. It is a matter of dialogue. No matter what the UK says, Res 2065 https://factsandfictionsofmalvinasislands.wordpress.com/2015/10/22/folleto-malvinas-ficciones-y-hechos/

They have refused to talk ....last one with Tinman...who did a runner when the islanders representatives were present...so...up yours !

Oct 24th, 2015 - 06:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0Instead of quoting UNGA Resolution 2065 you should actually try READING it.
Nowhere in the whole resolution does it state that the UK has to negotiate anything with Argentina. All it does is recognise a dispute and states that the UK and Argentina should settle this dispute peacefully, taking into account the interests/wishes of the population. Even your oft quote, but dead in the water resolution, doesn't support Argentina's position.
But Argentina didn't want to settle this dispute peacefully, and on 2 April 1982 Argentina tore up Resolution 2065 and illegally invade the sovereign territories of the UK, namely the Falkland Islands and South Georgia.
That act alone makes Resolution 2065 irrelevant, and the UK doesn't have to abide by it in anyway whatsoever. Not that we ever had to, being that UNGA resolutions are advisory not compulsory.
Argentina, however, ignored a legal and compulsory UNSC Resolution 502, to remove your illegal occupation force from the sovereign British territories of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia.
You refused. So the British invoked Article 51 of the UN Charter, the right to self defence, and kicked Argentina's sorry arses off our territory.
And because of Argentina, nearly 1,000 people lost their lives. ALL Argnetina's FAULT.
As for your link to your fake, and made up history, it's hilarious, and contradictory. The fact that you can't see it is also amusing. A bit like in 1984 when the people where told 'war is peace', 'love is hate' and so on and so forth, and if any of them began to question it they were arrested for 'thought' crimes.
Is that what you're afraid of? Being dragged away by your La Campora pay masters for not toeing the 'party line'. Because it's the only way I can assume that you post such easily disproved drivel.

Oct 24th, 2015 - 07:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0“It is a matter of dialogue. No matter what the UK says”
Some dialogue, if it doesn't matter what the UK says. In reality however the only thing that matters is what the Falkland Islanders say because it is their country. As Clyde pointed out, Timerman demanded negotiations, came to London and then refused to show up for the negotiations and then went home and demanded negotiations again. So clearly you don't really WANT negotiations, you merely want to DEMAND negotiations ad infinitum.
And if you are La Campora, do you want your boat back?

Oct 24th, 2015 - 06:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I bet you like Argentina have NEVER read 2065.
But, as like Argentina, you keep quoting 2065-this is a question which only one Argentine on these posts has ever answered, so let's see if you can manage it?
I don't think you can but I hope you prove me wrong.
Res0lution 2065 mentions that the resolution must take regard of the 'Interests of the Population of the Falkland Islands, therefore quite clearly NOT the interests of Argentina, or the UK.
So from the Argentine's point of view, what are the 'Interests of the Falkland Islanders '?
I would be interested in your comments.
I will then ask a member of 'The Population' what THEY regard their interests to be .
That is fair, is it not?
which facilitates sovereign development and integration with Chile so we can have access to the Pacific for our regional exports
Oct 24th, 2015 - 07:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0is this not a hint,
Chile is still on the agenda.
@Pete, don't hold your breath for any thing remotely insightful from Pepperjohn, he knows very little about the Falklands Issue and just repeats the same couple of sentences, even Botty Boi looks educated against Pepperjohn. I have come across him on 'Huffington Post' and 'Malvinas Fiction and more fiction', he is just a troll, a poorly deluded and misguided Malvanista with nothing to add to the conversation.

It merely continues to expose the great 2065 myth.
