    “Carmona accompanied his twitts”.....ain't that the truth!

    The UK is in breach of no international law...Stop lying
    Nobody cares if Argentine “rejects” anything.

    Stop trying to steal the Falkland Islanders home, they don't like you.

    Carmona added that “all these initiatives are contrary to International Law, since they pretend an alleged legality to the fisheries and hydrocarbons activities promoted by the UK in the Malvinas islands and maritime spaces”.

    What does international law say about the ownership of natural resources and Continental shelves?

    It seems to me that the only ones who continue to want to destabilise things in the Falklands part of the world are the Argentines themselves!

    Aww... They want to continue being “the ruler of the waves” . More accurately said, they want to increase their aggressive and invasive capacity against the world .
    While they want to make more systems of control, map the oceans, surveillance technologies; the world is ill and suffering in abominable ways because of their “industries” and financial ambition. Their Middle East sicario Israel kills children like mere casualties of political purpose, species of animals and forests are dying, the oceans are becoming sterile bathtubs. Oh, but they want to stay powerful and controlling! Never do you hear them talk about peace and ending wars on the planet. They thrive too well thanks to them, that's the reason. In fact what they do put their efforts towards is not ending wars, and silencing peace initiatives.

    Once again, UN resolutions only apply to the Malvinas and do not include the rest of the British S. Atlantic like S. Georgia/S. Sandwich Islands.

    Meanwhile the Secretariat for the Malvinas Islands, Antarctica and the South Atlantic is free to continue trying to find ways to encroach on British sovereignty of the region.

    I don’t think so. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

    It is Argentina and only Argentina that threatens the peace in the S. Atlantic.

    It’s been a bad few weeks for Argy Colonial Command, now with this on top of Chilean helicopters criss crossing Argy airspace and Mapuche armed resistance active in Argy occupied Wallmapu.

    Argentina sure has a strange way of expressing themselves. If they had not invaded our country in the first place , there would be no large military presence. They complain about a military pressence in the South Atlantic , yet they also have a military oresence in the same area. They used it in 1982 to invade us, so right and proper Britain has established a force that is of a suitable deterrent to Argentina to stop them trying to do that all over again. And they would too, just as soon as any British deterrents left.
    We know Argentinas game plan. They want only one outcome. Full sovereignty over us.
    If Argentina dont like British presence on British soil then take the argument direct to the ICJ. Argentina wont do that because they know they would loose and it would mean removing their illegal claim from their constitution. That would likely cause a civil war among themselves.
    So maybe Britain and the islanders should go to the ICJ and stop this harassment once and for all and in doing so bring the country if Argentina to its knees letting their neighbours take the pickings.
    So maybe in the best interest if that happening is it not time Argentina shut the hell up. They are flogging a dead horse.

    You are a funny fellow. Clearly not very intelligent, clearly unable to grasp the most basic concepts, but nonetheless a funny fellow.

    Trimonstruosidades, you will never be anything but a genocidal monster, vainly attempting to portray yourself as “human.” Get out of occupied Paraguayan territory, and do the honorable thing, since your continued existence is nothing less than the theft of resources from the rest of us...

    Britain hasn't wished to be “ruler” of the waves for a very long time, it voluntarily gave up the largest Empire in history. If Britain was obsessed by landmass it would have kept Canada, Australia, Malaysia, etc......

    The truth is Britain has tried to rid itself of its Overseas Territories for nearly a century, and has just a few very small territories left. The reason why they are still British territories is that the people who live there want it to remain that way.

    You dismiss the islanders as “an implanted population”. There is no such thing. If the Falkland Islanders are “implanted” so are 95% of the Americas, as well as Australasia.

    Well, sadly for you, the islanders are well protected, and will continue to be so.

    As I have told you before, the day that Argentina no longer wants the islands, no longer lies about the history, no longer bullies and threatens the islanders, is the day that Argentina may convince the islanders to accept Argentina as an alternative to Britain.....sadly, imbeciles like you make that day impossible.

    Please don't try to talk sense to Trimonde, he is completely fact resistant.
