    Good morning Wænk, what do you have to say about France's “colonial remnants”? Especially French Guiana, the largest French dèpartement, (not) in France? We never hear you bleating so much about that. It's interesting that when Argentina goes to C24 she never brings up that particular colony at all.

    - Good morning to you too..., above Anglo poster going by the nick of FitzRoy..., a Brutish Anglican fundamentalist and kidnapper of Fuegian peoples...
    (My nick..., btw. ain't “Waenk” but “Tænk”..., that in Scandinavian means...: “Using one's mind actively to form connected ideas”)

    - If you used your mind actively to form connected ideas..., you would quickly infer that I am just a humble South-Patagonian individual that due to historical and geographical circumstances have a particular dislike 'bout Brutish Imperial interests over Patagonia and its adjacencies....

    - I perfer therefore to leave it to me Northern Surinamese and Brasilian brothers to express their strong dislike 'bout French Imperial interests over the Guyanas and other Frog colonial remnants of empire nostalgia and narcissistic nationalism...

    Capisce...?

    Talking of imperial interests, when is Argentina going to decolonise Patagonia?

    Ahhh, the modern self-governing democracies, doing their own thing and getting on with their development as part of the modern world, marvellous.

    This really sticks in the craw of the MalviNazi, has them spitting feathers as you can see.

    Made all the more unpalatable by an economically successful Falklands and the near total economic meltdown in Argentina.

    Aggravated by feelings of inadequacy, due to their total inability to control or even influence anything in the S. Atlantic Region.

    And great frustration that they cannot simply do to the Falkland’s people, what they did to the Puelmapu and Fuegian peoples and just ‘get rid’ of them.

    Hence the need for the MP base, keeps all of that sort of thing inside Argentina’s 200nml limit, where it belongs.

    Yo..., copper...

    - “When is Argentina going to decolonise Patagonia...?” ya ask me...

    - Not before ya Engrish decolonise Scotland..., Northern Ireland..., Wales..., Cornwall and..., last but not least..., Northumbria..., I would guess...

    The difference being that Scotland, N. Ireland and Wales have the option to de-colonise themselves, if they so wish.

    Whereas Puelmapu and TDF are under a foreign occupation and have no such option.

    Trunks, do try to keep up, Scotland and NI have both voted to remain part of the UK. Has Patagonia?

    Copper..., do try to keep up..., Patagonia is inhabitated by ~2,500,000 Argies..., of them ~150,000 Argies who rightly percieve themselves as being indigenous peoples of four diverse First Nations ethnic groups...

    Sooooooo..., do your maths and stop being cheeky...

    Wænk, “actively to form connected ideas”, when will you start doing that? All we ever see from you are mildly xenophobic and racist remarks connected to 18th century ideologies. You need to get with the times, petal.

    As for kidnapping Fuegians, I have never been to TdF, let alone met anyone from thereabouts. I cannot, for the life of me, perceive a time when Britain will ever want to invade TdF. There is not really anything there of any note, is there?

    So ...... no vote in the colony of Patagonia then? Thanks for confirming Trunks.

    - Nope copper..., to the best of my local knoveledge, experience & belief..., I can't envision even the remotest possibility of any secessionist vote in Patagonia having the slightest chance to fetch over ~3% of votes...

    By the way..., Mr. Lorton...
    - Have you noticed the monumental change in Patagonian history that's just happening above...???
    - FitzRoy is declaring that he has not kidnapped any Fuegians..., that he has never been to Tierra del Fuego..., that he has never met anyone from thereabouts..., etc..., etc..., etc...
    - If true..., that could mean that you will have to correct..., yet again..., your already fawlty Malvinastimeline... :-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

    So the occupation of Puelmapu is almost complete and irreversible.

    And they talk of ‘implanted populations’, ha, ha, ha.

    Hence the need for the MP base, keeps all of that sort of thing inside Argentina’s 200nml limit, where it belongs.

    Trunks, I am not aware of any Fuegians being kidnapped in the last century except, possibly, by one of your dictatorial governments. I have little doubt that some Fuegians are among the 'missing'.

    ‘any secessionist vote in Patagonia having the slightest chance to fetch over ~3% of votes...’

    This would depend on who gets to vote, surely?

    Do you allow an implanted population to vote on whether it gets to keep occupying someone else’s land?

    After all, according to Argentina the Falklands inhabitants get no say in their future because they are an implanted population.

    And the ~2,500,000 Argies in Puelmapu were implanted long after the British re-captured the Falklands.

    Sauce for the Goose is sauce for the Gander, eh.

    Well, the ‘extreme (and unhealthy) interest’ shown by some in Argyland, ‘bout’ our S. Atlantic/Antarctic territories, is also noted, although not favourably.

    Hence the MP military base, keeps all of that sort of thing inside Argentina’s 200nml limit, where it belongs.

    Talking ‘bout’ how Russia is winning in Ukraine, where is Shogun?

    Need an update on Bakhmut.

    So the moron thinks he has ever used his mind to make connected ideas...oh dear. His idea 13 years ago was that Argentinas continued propaganda and childishness were nails in the Falkland islanders coffins.....How's that going for you Think?? 13 wasted years and not a millimetre closer, probably further away than ever.....all those nails, all those times you came on here, c0ck in hand, masturbating at the thought of Argentine usurpation.....and for what Think??? Nothing.

    You poor fella, like Gollum....a desperate, decrepit addict.....a tragic character wasting his life looking for grammatical errors and points of pedantry on the internet.......

    And how are the ‘gasoducts’ from dead cow coming along?

    Need to get all that working quickly as Bolivia no longer has the gas to export to keep the fires burning in Argentina, what with the winter coming on and 100%+ inflation, not good.

    Oh but wait, the EU has sorted it out where you are, no shortage of gas in Italy and it’s the summer coming on.

    Squashed Duck, a la tué sur la route all round chaps with Philipponnat Champers, chin, chin old boy.

    Let them eat cake!
