Jul 08th, 2022 - 12:21 pm - Link - Report abuse +5Given that they have nothing whosoever to do with any part of the British territorial islands they are making themselves look even more fools.
Untill Argentina finally goes to the international court of justice , their claim will remain just that a claim. They have never been able to establish positive proof of their claim otherwise there would be no claim.
Argentina thinks they acquired the Falkland Islands by default but no one has been able to prove that claim. Fact is when Soain attempted to rule Port Louis they knew nothing if South Georgia or south sandwich islands. Argentina decided to expand its claim even to include the area of the Antarctic peninsula.
They are nothing more than land grabbers. Most of the world can see that.
So intill they take the issue to the ICJ there will remain this mythical claim.
Argentina will likely have emploded befor they go to court. There economy is in dire straits and they know it. Still adding to their borrowings. A recipie for complete failure.
The article states -
Jul 08th, 2022 - 02:17 pm - Link - Report abuse +8“Argentina one again reaffirms its sovereignty over the Malvinas, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and adjoining maritime spaces, which are ”an integral part of the Argentina national territory, and which illegitimately occupied by Britain are the object of a sovereignty dispute acknowledged by the UN Resolution 2065 (XX), plus other General Assembly similar resolutions, as well as other international organizations and forae”
The fact is that 2065 states - “ ... Considering that its resolution 1514 (XV) of 14 December 1960 was prompted by the cherished aim of bringing to an end everywhere colonialism in all its forms, one of which covers the case of the Falkland Islands (Malvinas),
Noting the existence of a dispute between the Governments of Argentina and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning sovereignty over the said Islands,
1. Invites the Governments of Argentina and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to proceed without delay with the negotiations recommended by the Special Committee ... with a view to finding a peaceful solution to the problem, bearing in mind the provisions and objectives of the Charter of the United Nations and of General Assembly resolution 1514 (XV) and the interests of the population of the Falkland Islands (Malvinas);...”
1. This resolution is advisory, not binding
2. Nowhere does it mention South Georgia, South Sandwich Islands, or adjoining maritime spaces, which Argentina did not claim until 1927 and 1938 respectively.
As usual, Argentina are lying, and not even very convincingly.
“those territories are an integral part of the Argentine national territory”.

A good claim or not?
Except that UN Resolutions 31/49 and 2065 (XX) only apply to the ‘Malvinas’.
Jul 08th, 2022 - 03:38 pm - Link - Report abuse +4They do not include the rest of the S. Atlantic like S. Georgia/S. Sandwich Islands.
S. Georgia/S. Sandwich Islands is not a territory listed with the C24 for de-colonisation. They have no permanent population and therefore there is no issue of de-colonisation or self-determination.
The British have several times offered to take the issue to the ICJ but Argentina refuses, of course.
‘those territories are an integral part of the Argentine national territory’, well no, clearly not as it the British administering and controlling them.
Upsetting for the Argy gov as it bursts the bubble of their ‘b-continental Argentina’ narrative, for all to see.
Rhetoric Vs reality on the ground.
So the Argentina fishing fleet is loading up in preparation to start fishing in the declared “Protection Area”. The Argentine government will be waiting for the first seizure of one of the Argentina Registered Vessels. They will use this to promote their claim to the area.
Jul 09th, 2022 - 01:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I believe they would send one of their war ships to protect the fishing fleet but are unable to get an ocean going tug willing to haul it from the docks.
Geeeeeee....

Jul 09th, 2022 - 02:29 pm - Link - Report abuse +2Seizing boats caught illegally fishing can be a very profitable business. Costs money to get them back or lose them.
Jul 09th, 2022 - 03:54 pm - Link - Report abuse +1In Indonesia you pay to get the crew back and they keep the boat. Then when they have enough of them, they empty them and tow them off an Island somewhere, set fire to them and let them sink to form an artificial reef for fish habitat.
In some parts of the world they just sink them.

The truth is there is nothing Argentina can do apart from complain, they lack any kind of capability.
To try would only serve to remind the faithful how impotent they actually are in a region that is supposed to be, ‘an integral part of the Argentine national territory’. or not!
Geeeeeee....

I hear the training is going very well, the Ukrainians it seems are keen as mustard.
The effect of this and the arrival of more western weapons is now starting to have an effect on the battlefield.
You may have noticed the Russians are now advancing, if at all, very slowly and only on a short front.
They are now firing 1970 era anti-ship missiles at shopping centres, seems they are out of cruise missiles.
It’s the Russians who increasingly look like they can’t win this war.

He sounds just like a Brainwashed Argie Turnip in May 1982...
What a Turnip...!
The Argentine claim when it comes to South Georgia is even weaker (if possible) than the Malvinas claim. I think a country like Norway would be in a better position than Argentina if they got in their heads to claim it (which I do not think they ever will). After all, most people who lived there hundred years ago were Scandinavians and the church in Grytviken (a Swedish name) is Norwegian.

The Argentine claim to South Georgia is identical to its claim to “the Malvinas”, i.e. zero
Jul 14th, 2022 - 01:17 pm - Link - Report abuse +1It is a tool used by successive corrupt Argie governments to give poorly educated but arrogant population something to numb the pain whilst they shaft them.
You'd “think” the population would realise this...but they'd have to “think” to do it.
