What could possibly be more inconsequential and irrelevant than that which is “Iberoamerican”?
Oct 29th, 2016 - 12:26 pm - Link - Report abuse +7This is the organization that tries to compare itself with the Commonwealth - with little success. Not one of these countries would ever actually physically support Argentina in an armed confrontation which, of course, would only ever be initiated by Argentina in spite of its claims to wish for a peaceful conclusion to their dishonest and false claims to the Falklands archipelago.

Oct 29th, 2016 - 07:24 pm - Link - Report abuse +4These meetings of the “Ibero-Americans” are not unlike a gathering of loose street-dogs here in Argentina, an assembly of scabrous flea-bags for the mutual gratification of sniffing one-another's ortos and forming little packs to tear into the plastic refuse bags. And I would imagine the odours that characterise the meetings of these Ibero-Americans would be similar to those of the gatherings of such dogs. The only real difference is that the dogs have not yet learned how to grow tomatoes.
Argentine claim ,

Who cares about the lbero-American organisation “for certain things” & their stupid “claims”?

Just to answer gordo1: This iberoamerican summit does not try at all to compare with the Commonwealth. Who told you that? It is a summit of countries which share a common past. Regards,
Oct 30th, 2016 - 03:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0Both are ridiculous and instead the former VICTIMS of Anglo-Ibero COLONIALISM AND DISREGARD FOR SELF-DETERMINATION should be SUED in the international court of justice. 38 TRILLION Euros is the estimated mininum that the British and Spanish taxpayers should cough up. If hunger in their countries ensued, too bad. Should have thought about the consequences 300 years ago.

Wikipedia tells us “The Commonwealth dates back to the mid-20th century with the decolonisation of the British Empire through increased self-governance of its territories. It was formally constituted by the London Declaration in 1949, which established the member states as ”free and equal“. The symbol of this free association is Queen Elizabeth II who is the Head of the Commonwealth. The Queen is also the monarch of 16 members of the Commonwealth, known as Commonwealth realms. The other Commonwealth members have different heads of state: 31 members are republics and five are monarchies with a different monarch.
Member states have no legal obligation to one another. Instead, they are united by language, history, culture and their shared values of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. These values are enshrined in the Commonwealth Charter[and promoted by the quadrennial Commonwealth Games.”
The Commonwealth also holds its ”summit of (these) countries which share a common past”
I seem to recall that King Juan Carlos of Spain, on the occasion of the first Ibero American summit, made a remark which was a comparison with the Commonwealth.

These people can't be fixed. I warned the world the 4th Reich was coming. Too late now to stop it without bombs, but at least we can contain the problem to one continent and adjacent “isles”.
“Queen Elizabeth II offered to restore British rule over the United States of America. Addressing the American people from her office in Buckingham Palace, the Queen said that she was making the offer “in recognition of the desperate situation you now find yourselves in.” “This two-hundred-and-forty-year experiment in self-rule began with the best of intentions, but I think we can all agree that it didn’t end well,” she said. The Queen urged Americans to write in her name on Election Day, after which the transition to British rule could begin...”
Nostrils, if you really believe that article then you are even stupider than l first thought.
Oct 30th, 2016 - 09:55 am - Link - Report abuse +4Actually the Queen was just issuing an invitation for Argentina to become a British colony……are you interested, Nostrils?
That is, what is LEFT of Argentina when Paraguay has got its stolen land back & Patagonia is returned to the Falklands.
You want the 4th Reich, Nostrils?
We can arrange that.
So l take that as a “yes”, nostrils?
LOL. Of course it's 100% true, and Argentina is next! Better get your white flag ready, cos we're coming for you CapiTroll.

To make a joke about some absurd idea in such a dry realistic style to make so real it must not be real... but it really is real, because so unreal a reality could never be realized, thus really fooling the listener from the real intention, to really realize that reality from unreal to real pretending it was too real to be real. Unreal these people.

@ downunder
The Americas do have a past. Just not one that belongs to most of the people who live there.
Perón's emulation of Italian fascism and Argentina's covert alliances with Nazi Germany both during and after WWII, its cooperation with Iran and Russia to weaken economic sanctions, and its pattern of aggression towards neighbouring nations, speak volumes about Argentina's core values. Small wonder that the civilised world appreciates that Argentina today remains toothless, inept, backward, and increasingly impoverished.

A common past. With no future.

Rufus - it would appear to be a function of both the extraordinary inflation here, and the inescapable national tendency to exaggerated buffoonery .

You may wish to check out this https://goodcountry.org/ and think about the benefits of being honest and unselfish. Essentially, if you want other countries to be nice to you it is in your interests to have a good reputation. Check out the rankings to see where Argentina lies...

Nov 01st, 2016 - 05:14 am - Link - Report abuse +4And despite working at the United Nations, and like all Argentines, she still CANNOT read the resolutions and grasp what they mean, especially 2065. No wonder she was not elected to be head of the UN, which is concerned about conflict when 2065 was declared invalid, when to remind the cow, Argentina invaded the Falklands. Why can't these idiots READ what the resolutions state? 2065 clearly states that the Islanders interests have to be regarded, it clearly mentions 'Granting of Independence to colonial peoples, it clearly states with regard to the UN charter.but the Argentines have no idea or care what the Islanders interests are. The Argentines have absolutely NO idea what the UN charter states. The Argentines have absolutely NO idea what 'Granting of independence to Colonial peoples mean. Until the Argentines grasp some basic reading and comprehension skills, they will never even understand what the resolutions they quote, actually state.
“thanked countries attending the XXV IberoAmerian summit in Colombia for their support to Argentina's sovereignty claim over the Falklands”
But unless you can prove your claim, that support is as irrelevant as a fart in a hurricane.
Just stating you have a claim is merely opinion. GO to the ICJ or even more useful Malcorra, GO ON A DIET!
Exactly how many chins does she want?
Looks like the host of this summit shows where his real sentiments lie having made haste to London
