“Why all the fuss about the Malvinas, all the indoctrination which starts at school claiming the Islands, and not a word about the province of Formosa which should be returned to Paraguay and we took as spoils of the Triple War in 1870?”, asks Argentine writer Federico Jeanmaire, a well-known author of several best sellers.

    “The Malvinas claim is present in all social classes and in the most diverse political circles, horizontally it reaches all of us, and this is the product of education,...”

    For education, read indoctrination. Having been rather active on social media of late, I have been surprised at just how often the word 'Malvinas' appears in the language. Not just as a name for places, but also to reflect how people are feeling (e.g. going to recapture the malvinas = feeling feisty).

    Still, this fella did cause a small storm on social media, which has been good for my Stats.

    Erm... Op Chariot was not a failure. They succeeded in blowing up, and putting the dry dock out of action. Everyone involved knew it was pretty much a one way ticket.

    Federico Jeanmaire seems to have forgotten all the rest which must be returned to the rightful owners:

    1. The previous Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata to Spain.
    2. Not only Formosa , but also the provinces Chaco and Misiones - to Paraguay.
    3. All the rest of present day Argentina - to the indigenous people.

    Operation Chariot was a success, the Normandie dock was put out of action for the rest of the war (repairs finished in 1947)

    Mr Jeanmaire seems to be unaware that it was Argentina who invoked the motto “Victory does not give rights” after the War of the Triple Alliance against Paraguay. This motto is now part of the OAS Charter. Despite occupying Paraguayan territories, it did not annex them. The boundaries with Paraguay were set by treaty in 1876 and by an arbitration award from the US President in 1878 that Argentina lost and is still celebrated in Paraguay.

    Güeón — please pay attention as this could change your life. Knowing your very special character — I again would greatly recommend the knowledgable and quote filled TERENCE HILL as a very suitable partner who has an exciting and dynamic entertaining lifestyle: https://youtu.be/TE9PscWM_QE

    Although he's an unemployed VIRGIN living in his mother's BASEMENT, you can't deny he'd make a marvelous significant partner that could educate you in weird Latin quotations and he has an incredible appreciation of inflatable sex toys.

    I think you Güeón and TERENCE (TFW) would indeed be a marvelous matched pair!

    Save TFW's sex dolls “LULA” and “LONG DONG SILVER” from their misery!

    TFW is your perfect opportunity to know a VIRGIN LIVING IN HIS MOTHER'S BASEMENT that AWAITS!

    “.. it was Argentina who invoked the motto “Victory does not give rights”..”

    Of course it was.

    And, as usual, Argentina is proven wrong by reality.

    FG

    But surely the Spaniards and Portuguese occupied the vast majority of South America first along with Portugal.

    Therefore logically (I know that's a difficult concept for you) they should go home first as they are the original 'imperial invaders, pillagers, and thieves'

    We are not in the stinking murderous Kurepi lands, we are in ours.

    You need to stay out of the British Territories of the S. Atlantic/Antarctic.

    Then everyone gets to live in peace.
