In any event we can be patient and show understanding where appropriate.
This dispute is over and the two Governments can concentrate on growing their economies for the good of the real Argentine people, the Falkland Islanders and of course the British people.

I guess things will be different when everybody is laughing.
Argentina “ is not surrendering the Malvinas” FACT: You do not surrender something you don't have.

Answers on the head of a pin please.

Poor Argentina, thrown in the hands of a group of CEOs who know how to make money but do not have a clue about governing a country.

None of your previous governments had a clue about governing a country, or how to make money...only about how to line their own pockets whilst the indoctrinated hoi poloi cheered them on, eyes glazed over chanting 'Malvinas, Malvinas' which munching on a chizorio and swigging cheap unsellable wine.
It is amusing the way the Malvinistas got their knickers in a twist about Macri “surrendering the Malvinas Islands” but said nothing about CFK's failure to make any mention of the Falklands in her speech to the UN last year (attended by 3 people, 2 of which were asleep).
Sep 23rd, 2016 - 06:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Macri is an intelligent guy and I'm sure that he is well aware of Argentina's complete lack of a case for sovereignty and that the possibility of any progress on this during the life of his government (even if he does 2 terms) is zero but he's got to throw bones to the brainwashed portion of his population. I guess that some of them realise this which is why they are getting so wound up.
Meanwhile CFK spend 12 years achieving zero in this respect so he can't do any worse than she did. :-D
Macaroni has just been pandering to investors.

Well. Here's an islander who at least is sincere and tells things as he sees it.
It shows a fixation with totalitarism and utter contempt for democracy, as Zaphod puts it very well.
”(Macri)'s got to throw bones to the brainwashed portion of his population.”
What a bunch.
“[I am] sincere and tells things as he sees it.“

”It shows a fixation with totalitarism and utter contempt for democracy”
No, because Argentina's desire for the Falkland Islands has absolutely nothing to do with democracy so that is pure spin from you. The reality is that the Argentine claim has no basis in either history or international law so this trumps any Argentine democratic process.
