    I don't believe that England wants to bring this problem to America.

    The Falkland Islands are not a military training ground. At least since 1982. (laughs)

    If this is true I hope our visitors have the chance to make us some flia. I adore the stuff, it is so special.

    Part of an invasion force to rid Argentina of Peronists?

    If you say, “it's ours”, enough times, idiots, the bulk of humanity, will begin to believe it.

    This is just another opportunity for Argentina to lie and pursue stealing, their national pastime.

    Now that Argentina is clearly running out of things to complain about, perhaps they will focus on sorting out their mess of a country.

    Its just for their domestic nationalistic audience to make it look like they are doing something, when in reality what they say is of no consequence what so ever.

    I have looked at the UN Resolution and nowhere does it state that troops from Kosovo are not allowed to visit and train in the Falklands. As for a show of force, annually Argentina conducts an “invasion of a neighbouring island country”, which is a provocation of sorts. I suppose that is ok though, because it's them doing it.

    The keys to making good flia are to ensure a proper sac (the lid-like baking trays the flia is baked on) is used- this is very important; and that the hot ashes are just right.

    It is very labour intensive but the results are sure worth it. One of the truly wonderful national dishes.

    Me dear Kelpers...

    Even if I fully adhere to Bonaparte's wise words...:
    “”N'interrompez jamais un ennemi qui est en train de faire une erreur“”...
    The fact that you are more a “squatting nuisance” than an “enemy”..., allows me to comment...

    - Don't you Tænk it is a bit silly..., being fully on the side of a Dominant State (Ukraine) that for years on end has violently denied independence to ethnic minorities in its territory (Crimea, Luhansk & Donetsk)..., whilst..., on the other hand..., offering military training to an ethnic minority (Kosovars) that have declared their independence from an agressive Dominant State (Serbia)...?

    ”Argentina's Foreign Ministry Thursday said it would strongly object to the presence of Kosovo troops in the Falkland Islands even if for training purposes because it would be in violation of UN resolutions.”

    If that was so, they would readily show it.

    Mr. FitzRoy..., some posts above...

    You say...:
    -“I have looked at the UN Resolution and nowhere does it state that troops from Kosovo are not allowed to visit and train in the Falklands.”...

    I say...:
    I don't know what “UN Resolution” you “ looked at”..., Chay...
    BUT...
    I have looked at the “United Nations Security Council resolution 1244”, adopted on 10 June 1999, and it clearly ”Require that the KLA (Kosovo Liberation Army) and other armed Kosovo Albanian groups be demilitarized”
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_1244

    ERGO...:
    - If the UN SECURITY COUNCIL decreed in 1999 that troops from Kosovo are not allowed to exist..., they hardly are allowed to visit and train in the Malvinas/Falklands...

    Capisce...?

    “I have looked at the “United Nations Security Council resolution 1244”,

    Naughty, naughty, you have intentionally attempted to misrepresent their status. As your favorite advocate Marcelo Kohen, got his but kicked with the

    “Advisory opinion on Kosovo's declaration of independence Accordance with International Law of the Unilateral Declaration of Independence in Respect of Kosovo was a request in 2008 for an advisory opinion referred to the International Court of Justice by the United Nations General Assembly regarding the 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence.”

    territorial integrity

    Paragraph 80 of the ICJ Kosovo Advisory Opinion that states, “the scope for the principle for territorial integrity is limited to the relationship between individual States and does not impinge on the right to self-determination and independence.”

    It is true that the Kosovo Liberation Army were outlawed in 1999, however following Kosovo's declaration of independence in 2008 , they formed the Kosovo Security Force, in 2009 and it is recognised by NATO.

    Capisce?

    Mr. FitzRoy...

    1) You started saying above...: “I have looked at the UN Resolution (which one..., by the way...?) and nowhere etc..., etc..., etc...”

    2) I proved you wrong by linking to the still very current and valid “United Nations SECURITY COUNCIL resolution 1244” from1999... (Approved & signed..., by the way..., by 5 current NATO members...: the UK..., USA..., Portugal... France & Slovenia...)

    3) Now...,you suddenly change your tone and speak about some “NATO approval”...

    4) My questions are..:

    - A) Since when..., in your mind..., do “NATO approvals” override the UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL resolutions...?

    - B) Which specific UN Resolution did you look into originally...?

    - C) Can you comprehend that when a UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL resolution requiring that...: The KLA and OTHER ARMED KOSOVO ALBANIAN GROUPS BE DEMILITARIZED..., it ain't just enough to rename them military groups as...: “Kosovo Security Peace Force Support Mission for the Preparation & Serving of Delicious Flia to Muggler Kelpers as Jo Bloggs”..., or similar...

    Capisce...?

    “United Nations SECURITY COUNCIL resolution 1244” from1999...”

    Made redundant by ICJ, the top court, who were specifically requested to rule on the legality of Kosovo and its referendum in 2008. That trump’s any and all previous resolutions.

    Me dear Kelpers...

    - Be my guests..., keep lying to yourselfs and let them Engrish import the Kosovo Conflict to the South Atlantic...

    - With all its stupid potential of becoming a second “Ukraine Proxi War”...

    - It will only strengthen the Argie argument of you being an evident, archaic Engrish colony responding to your Engrish masters...

    I will follow Bonaparte's advice...
    Too-ra-loo-ra-li...:-)))
