    ''The Libertarian candidate, who won the Aug. 13 Open, Simultaneous and Mandatory Primary (PASO) elections, has suggested in the past that Argentina should adopt a Hong Kong-style approach regarding the Falkland/Malvinas Islands, with a gradual transfer of sovereignty from Britain''

    Lease-back something the UK considered. But as always it's up to the islanders and the world has moved on.

    More wanking off with overly complicated good intentions? (btw Steve Pots, Proliferous Propaganda Producer) Did Britain or China ask the people living in Hong Kong what they thought of a Lease Back agreement??? Oh yes! We know “times have changed”? Now we have the very effective fictitious lie producing political instrument of the “BOT self determination principle”, so amazingly successful in fooling the entire world of diplomatic and informations venues, funneled into accepting the English language's solo explanation for all truths.
    The only thing that must be done here is two countries become mature and respectful of the other in all sense, and produce a final and permanent solution that will be satisfactory to all parties involved, including the islanders, and stop using the islander-lie as a a way to avoid sincerity in London.

    Doesn’t say which of the Islanders rights he would respect.

    No possibility of any ‘Hong Kong style’ deal, completely different situations.

    However:

    ‘Argentina needed to “become a normal country” to persuade Islanders to seek closer ties.’

    ‘‘It may take many years but you cannot force on other people any decisions, not on Argentineans not on anyone, you cannot force decisions anymore, that has to stop,”

    The Islands can become Argentinian if the Islanders choose that, this approach has at least the possibility of successes, however distant.

    Trimonde,
    Yes you are right in that these two countries should come together to end this dispute. Britain should in no uncertain terms tell the Argentines that Argentina has never owned these islands. Clear that up and we can all move on.
    Reference to Hong Kong. In case you did not know Britain never fully owned Hong Kong but it did need to occupy the area for the period it agreed to. So it agreed with China to a lease back arrangement and they fulfilled that agreement.
    However the Falklands are a completely different issue in as much Argentina has never had legal possession as Britain has.
    Argentina thinks it inherited these islands from the Spanish who actually never granted that permission and could not in any case.
    Argentina broke away from Spain and in doing so lost any rights to anything Spanish.
    Now take that statement to the ICJ and have them confirm this story.
    Then talk with not only Britain but the people who inhabit the islands. The people you refuse to accept exists. The people that were living here when you brutally invaded them in 1982.
    The same people today that have international law on their side.
    Like you said time has moved on and rights of people have changed. Think you will find the Falkland islanders in the end do have the power to decide their future.
    Leaseback will never be granted to any country let alone Argentina. Do you think we are stupid.
    We remember how deceitful you was when you invaded.

    The islanders don't “need to become Argentinians”. The British and Americans took the islands from Argentina using force at a time Argentina could not defend the islands from their imperialistic abuse, the islanders came later under the administration of the British occupation. it's plain and simple. However, now they have been there for nearly 190 years, that's a fact. And yet, the ordering logic of starting an argument with whether the islanders “want or don't want to BE Argentinian” is flawed. One does not become a nationality solely based on what country is administrating the territory at a given time, OBVIOUSLY. It requires time and generations, cultural development and means of expressing that society's culture through its beliefs and customs etc, for a nationality to be defined. A solution to the dispute could mean the Islanders continue to be British citizens, Falklander citizens and an option to acquire Argentinian citizenship if they so desire, and yet, a final solution could be a sovereignty with more than one level to it, comprising of discerning sovereignty issues to where all parties may be satisfied. It could also mean concentrating FIG rights on one island while Argentinian rights on another island whilst preserving the integrity of the territory around the people who live on the islands. Our imagination is its own limit when it comes to UK and Argentina resolving this matter with the islanders. And it could very well lead to something that brings financial benefit, practicality and prosperity to a growing population with a greater ability to diversify thus preserving the environment

    Trimonde.
    You obviously are not listening to anyone other than yourself.
    As Former President Ronald Reagan famously said READ MY LIPS.
    We are never going to consider any proposals that Argentina desires.
    Further no, the Americans and Britain did not remove you from a sovereign right. Your country was warned NOT to attempt to establish a colony on a British sovereign state. You totally and blatantly ignored those warnings and rightfully you were removed.
    You blatantly invaded these islands in 1982 and again rightfully you were removed.
    You preach about needing generations to establish a people. Let me tell you, we have 10 generations of people living here born here.
    We were recognised as a British country before Argentina was granted independence from Spain.

    You can argue on this and any other site and the answer will always be the same.
    These islands are not up for sovereignty negotiations in any shape or form period.
    The sooner you recognise that fact the better.
    I laugh at your idea of east and west split.
    Maybe you would consider giving Patagonia back to its people or even to us.
    You are living in a mythical dream just like your invalid claim.
    Admit it. You want our land because you think you can just have what you want.
    Does not work like that.

    Milei is about the last hope Argentina has. Peronism has destroyed Argentina.

    It is interesting Trimonde is now saying “the British and Americans” took the islands from Argentina. This after last week when Malvinense rightfully conceded that it was indeed the Lexington raid that ended the Vernet business, not HMS Clio in January 1833.

    To me this is progress, they played the eviction lie one too many times, wheeled out Maria Vernet at the UN to say how her ancestors were evicted, yet all the while the Pinedo's logs in Buenos Aires told a very different story.

    If the brainwashed like Trimonde can subtly amend their stories when proven false, there is hope for others less thick.

    Milei knows it will take a while to ween Argentines of the Peronist lie, whether the people accept his medicine time will tell, but he might just be their only hope.

    The one thing we know Argentina is not good at. Ok, make that two, three, etc..
    They never keep a promise. They dont believe in self determination.
    They can never be trusted with any written agreement. They spend borrowed money faster than a tap can flow.
    Then there is the things they are good at.
    Myth making. Throwing people out of helicopters over the south Atlantic.
    Lying to their people.
    Stealing someone else's land
    Spending someone else's money.
    Believing the Falkland Island People just don't exist.
    Is there any hope of improved change. Very doubtful.
    Will there always be tension between them and Britain. Absolutely, because of their indoctrination.
    Could you change their thinking, very unlikely.
    Are they willing to make regime changes. Possibly but likely never allowed to happen.

    It was an unprovoked invasion on a totally innocent peaceful people who live on land owned by Britain.
    Argentina did not attack Britain but the people of the Falkland Islands and for that act of aggression the people of the islands will never forgive them or ever trust them again.
    Biggest mistake Argentina has made in its entire history. Attacking the very people that had already started befriending them. All because they had an internal problem in Argentina and wanted a diversion so picked on the islanders and not only got kicked back out but still got internally defeated.

    The link between malignant narcissism, racism and fascism
    Narcissism was linked to fascism by the father of bioenergetic therapy, Alexander Lowen, in his outstanding book, ”Narcissism — Denial of the True Self”

    Envy-The Forgotten Narcissistic Issue

    Of the 7 “deadly” sins that are committed by humans, envy is primarily directed toward the destruction of an external object. Over the centuries, this unfortunate emotion has been the subject of inquiry by many disciplines (philosophy, religion, sociology, fiction, and so on). Among authors in the western philosophical tradition who have pondered the issue, Aristotle first wrote, “We envy those whose possessions or achievements are a reflection on our own. They are our neighbors and equals. It is they, above all, who make plain the nature of our failure.”1 Kant defined envy as a “propensity to view the well-being of others with distress, even though it does not detract from one's own,” and referred to it as “that passion which views with malignant dislike the superiority of those who are really entitled to all the superiority they possess.”1

    Bacon, in his ninth essay, Of Envy, considered such “affection” as belonging to “a man that hath no virtue in himself.” In his keen observations, he noted 4 broad categories of envious individuals: “deformed persons, and eunuchs, and old men”; those who “rise after calamities and misfortunes”; those who “desire to excel in too many matters, out of levity and vain glory”; and “near kinsfolks, and fellows in office.”

    Schopenhauer also pondered envy's destructive nature. “The worst trait in human nature . . . is schadenfreude [pleasure taken from the misfortunes of others], for it is closely related to cruelty.”

    Traits of Malignant Narcissism

    Malignant narcissists display traits and symptoms of both antisocial and narcissistic personality disorder. While both APD and NPD are both types of personality disorders, the symptoms and traits of each disorder are different.1,5

    Antisocial Traits in Malignant Narcissists

    A pattern of violating the rights of others
    Breaking rules and laws
    Deceiving others for pleasure/personal gain
    Impulsive decision making
    Irritability or aggressiveness
    Reckless/harmful behavior
    Irresponsibility/inability to function
    Lack of remorse for acts that harm others
    Can only be diagnosed in adulthood

    Narcissistic Traits in Malignant Narcissists

    Grandiose, arrogant, or acts superior Fantasies about power/success/fame Needs excessive praise/validation Feels entitled to special treatment Exploits or uses others for personal gain Lacking empathy for needs of others Envious of others Hypersensitive to criticism Can be diagnosed before the age of 18
    Combined, having both antisocial and narcissistic traits tends to lead to a very severe form of pathology.

    Inconvenient truths of the Islas Malvinas # 25
    Argentina has consistently protested the British Empire invasion of Malvinas
    Has been truthful in treaties signed; it is a bit rich to claim otherwise, as we all know the British have consistently broken their promises, whether by lying, omission, or blatant disregard of what they signed.
    The British have creatively invented the discovery, claim and settlement of Malvinas, and
    Stole this foreign land from a newly created nation they signed and agreement of recognition, friendship and trading treaty in 1825.
    Argentina recognises that the British descendants of the British invaders and usurpers of 1833 live in our islands.
    Argentina is a young, proud country with world class scientists, and with abundant natural resources. We’ll get over this, as we want our country to be the nation we were born to be. We descend from warriors, patriots that gave their lives for our independence.

    On the other hand, an interesting online survey of British citizens have shown that less than 10% of the Britain population thinks the Islas Malvinas are British, and 50% think their sovereignty should be returned to Argentina, and they are correct!

    Your idiocy is shining through.

    Argentina did not claim the Islands in 1825. We asked, in 1824 what was being claimed.
    The answer was long, but there was no mention of the Falklands.

    Everytime the islands are mentioned. Argentina invents a myth to portray how they belong to them. Fact is Argentina is just a land grabber. Got away with grabbing most of Patagonia but stopped when they tried to land grab these islands. There is a clear reason why Argentina wants the British Falkland Islands. It has never been about always being a part of their territory, but the only section of territory stopping Argentina controlling the whole of the south Atlantic down to Antarctica.
    Even if another Country had discovered and occupied these islands Argentina would still mount the same claim. Just as they tried to take part of Chile so they could control the southern Pacific route.
    They are pirates of the 21st century and will not be allowed to succeed.

    Good advice Juan.

    Argentines are amazing clowns, unable to grasp even the most simple reality. 41 years since the war and they have learned nothing. The UK does not negotiate the sovereignty of the Islands, and will not unless the Islanders wish it.

    The new kid on the block (Melei), is no brighter than the rest.

    The end.

    Inconvenient truths of the Islas Malvinas # 26

    I was much entertained reading the posts in this article! It begs believe some answers, considering the British past history. Take for example the accusatory claim of ‘land grabbing’, as if we wouldn’t know that since its tribesmen times to this day, the British’s 1st aim was and is to obtain land & resources at any cost. Saying this is an Argentinian defect brings attention to your own historical greed.

    Equally deliciously laughable is to be called ‘pirates of the XXI century’ by the descendants of the real pirates, those that slaved, conquered & subjugated a big part of the world during the colonial time period. That was the way it was then, but to attempt to maintain this wrongful situation in this time, is just undemocratic from those claiming the British Empire doesn’t exist anymore.

    Argentina didn’t mention the Islas Malvinas in 1825, simply because there was no need, as they were in our possession. They were Spanish and passed on to be Argentinian by the iuri possidetis iuri principle of international law, that still today is used to recognise the right of a former colony to maintain its territorial integrity after their independence.

    Ms Mondino’s interview with The Telegraph had a positive outcome for our country in the robust discussion that followed it. It served a good purpose too, as once more the Malvinas were at the center of the MSM in full force, remaining the presidential candidates that our sovereignty is not for sale, neither to be ceded.

    As British still don’t know where the Malvinas are located, or why they should keep them, we have reinforced our claims to them as a country.

    I stand by my country’s position on the Cuestion of Malvinas, as we have the historical, geographical, and legal rights I, and my countrymen before me have mentioned many times.

    I don’t need to insult or call names to anyone here. That is the big difference between us, dear British readers.

    Of course taenk will twist the subject.
    What he never admits to in land grabbing that Dpain invaded south America and stole all the land on the first place. Then along comes this rogue breakaway group who want part of the land for them selves. So they claimed independence from Spain who actually never agreed to this plan untill long after Britain was firmly in control of the islands.
    Such dribble he talks always omitting the truth but blaming others for lying. You couldn't make it up.

    So in the morning you have according to your own words, consumed three quarters of a mug of brandy.
    “I’m on my third Baileys coffee this brilliant morning ... brewed coffee with about a quarter of the mug with room temperature Baileys” Which means at that time in the morning
    you had consumed 262.5ml at probably 40% vol. alcohol.
