    An offer to purchase, is clear evidence that the other party has title and is thereby able to sell.

    Interesting, but not surprising. An alleged document (which does not appear in any official British archive) that first appears in a 1984 NY Times article and is lifted by a ghost newspaper and spiced up and republished by this “media”.

    Even if the document were real (which cannot yet be verified) and that what the British official says is what Tesaire actually said (which is unlikely), it does nothing to advance Britain's alleged claim to the Malvinas.

    Oh no, the British claim is actual, it exists in reality and is applied on the ground, it is a fact.

    What is ‘alleged’, is ‘Bi-continental Argentina’, which in fact does not exist in reality, does it???

    Ersatz Stinke
    Ahhhh Stinkende, at last, how is Tovarishch Putin’s war against his fellow Rus Slavs going eh???

    Destroyed all of Russian speaking/ethnic Russian Ukraine yet, has he???

    Ohhh what price liberation eh???

    Free Wallmapu, arm the Mapuche, one planter one bullet.

    BTW, a ‘lease back’ would mean that the first party has title to sell to the second party, to then lease back to the first party.

    It denies the second party has any title, or they would not have to buy it in the first place.

    Let’s be honest here, if Argentina were today offered the opportunity to buy the Islands, they would sell everything from their grandmothers to their grandchildren and everything in between including the kitchen sink to raise the money, whatever price was asked.

    Because they know, the Pirates have possession, which is 9/10ths of the law.

    Oh and a military able to protect it.

    Right copper...

    - As one can read in Maggie's own site..., one of Thatcher's favoured options in 1980 was for you haughty Engrish pirates to remediate yet another of your egregious acts of imperial plunder and return them stolen windblown Malvinas Isles to us Argies and then..., Lease them BACK for 99 years or so to save some imperial face and Kelper diehards...

    Capisce...?

    return the “stolen” Malvinas Isles to Argentina?

    Oh THINK, you mean the crew of the Sarandi? The Argentine ship sent to claim the islands (which clearly meant they weren't Argentinas before), the crew that mutinied, murdered Mestevier who was sent to be governor and then raped his wife in front of their children.....and were evicted by the rightful owners 10 weeks later......

    That “imperial plunder”.....

    hahahaha

    you fool!

    The mere notion of leaseback required Argentine recognition of a transfer of rights from the UK to Argentina before the territory was leased to the UK.

    Remember Ridley in the Islands, November 1980?
    “Finally he explained his preferred idea: 'leaseback'. This, he suggested, was a workable solution. Britain would formally cede sovereignty to Buenos Aires, and before the ink had dried on that document would sign another, leasing the Islands back for an agreed period, say 99 years. The Falklands' way of life would be maintained and everyone would be happy. Across Ridley's face spread a cadaverous grimace, which was as near as he could get to a smile.” [Invasion 1982: the Falkland islanders’ Story Graham Bound 2007]

    ”... Britain would formally cede sovereignty .....”

    Capisce...?

    We are in agreement and saying the same thing with different words..., copper...

    A) That Engrish 1980's offer to lease-back them windblown Isles, is clear evidence that the United Kingdom does have great doubts about its sovereignty over the Malvinas...

    B) We Argies have always recognized that you haughty Engrish pirates..., through an egregious act of imperial plunder..., took effective military possession of them windblown Malvinas Isles in the year 1833...

    C) Same things..., different words...

    Very Wittgensteinsk...
    Capisce...?

    Speaking of boozing, here's Gauchito Drink, the hard core Peronist National Socialist, whining about the “haughty” English. His Jefe, Putin seems to be bogging down a bit, so it appears the borracho is back in his cups. Again.

    Bojo might be visiting the Falklands, most unlikely he will visit any Argentinian territory though.
