Tierra del Fuego doesn't have anything regarding the Falklands, let alone a “position”.

”.....several of our surface units unable to operate normally“.

Perhaps because due to Argentine maintenance practices they have now become sub-surface units.

--------------

Argentina's Tierra del Fuego province will be sending representatives to sovereignty discussions on the Finnish province of Oulun lääni Uleåborgs län, which was included as an unpronounceable objective in the 1994 Argentine constitution.

“ pain, sadness and bloodshed ” and precisely who's fault is that? God these Argies are paranoid, fix your own country before trying to take over another country.

In 1833 when several illegal elements of las Provincias Unidas de la Plata were removed from the British Territory of the Falklands by the Royal Navy there was no such entity as the Argentine Province of Tierra del Fuego - this area was still populated by indigenous peoples who, subsequently, lost their inheritance due to the land grabbing acts of the expanding European immigrants from the North.

Therefore, what right has the usurping Argentine Province of Tierra del Fuego to claim any connections with the British Falkland Islands? Would one of the Argentine malvinista trolls kindly enlighten us?

“Finnish province of Oulun lääni Uleåborgs län, which was included as an unpronounceable objective ”

Very funny!!!!!

They could also add the County Kerry village of 'Baile an Fheirtéaraigh' as another “unpronounceable objective”

“Senator Jose Ojeda said the province of Tierra del Fuego was ”in a situation in which we are forced to defend our heritage and under no circumstances are we going to yield or make concessions in sovereignty or natural resources, since they belong to us, to the Argentines and to Tierra del Fuego“. The senator belongs to the opposition Victory Front which theoretically responded to ex president Cristina Fernandez”

So, no point in “negotiating”, then.

It's sad that so many Argentines go to bed every night with a heavy heart regarding the Malvinas.

“he asked questions relative to migration, purchase of land in the Falklands/Malvinas by Argentine citizens and spares for the Argentine navy,”

No implanted population wanted in the Falklands, Tierra del Fuego purchasing land in the Falklands= total delusion, and no need for Navy spares in the Falklands as no floating Argentine Navy ships are in Stanley Harbour. Well the Botox Queen is gone but at least these morons are giving us something to laugh at.

Did you know, that in the local asylum complex,
they actually have a cell call [ the Argentina ]

Apparently all the brainwashed go through this cell to be indoctrinated before being allowed either in the government, or on here,

so the asylum says..

What a totally fucked up nation is Argentina, I think Tierra del Fuego should be the territory of the FALKLANDS after all it is only about 400 miles away.It would certainly be better managed, where on earth do they get these so called politicians from?

The Falkland's should put in a claim for Argentina at the UN,
that would confuse them for another couple of decades..

Tierra del Fuego is closer to Chile so the whole of it obviously should belong to them.

Argentina can start removing its implanted colonial population immediately.

LOL. And speaking of Baile an Fheirtéaraigh, I trust Cornwall will be kept informed about goings on in Baile an Fheirtéaraigh as it is another sticky-out bit of a neighbouring country and thus somehow entitled! You have to feel genuine pity for the Deputy Gov of TdF trying to pretend he has some relevance here. Bless him.

The governor and senators from Argentine Tierra del Fuego are expected to attend the Worthington (Indiana, US) city council meeting in November, where they will insist upon being seated as voting members when the council considers revisions to its ordinances on disruptive dogs.

Probably not by the Falkland Islands Government, the only authority that counts on the Islands.

Reminds me of Chubut. Dust. Rocks. Phony red-lion tea-houses. Forest fires. Cackling sounds.
