Disclaimer & comment rulesI just sat down to have my morning break and I thought I'd have a look at the latest nonsense from Argentina and guess what? it's the same old, same old.

Narnian law is meaningless outside ...Narnia.

Sep 25th, 2023 - 10:36 am - Link - Report abuse +3Needless to add, consciously deciding to assist in imperialistic unilateral expansionism through unlawful usurpation. Birds of a feather, flock together.

You cannot build legitimacy on bullying and overpowering another country through an usurpation backed by military superiority. You can try, but as long as the other country continues to protest, it will never be lawful.
Sep 25th, 2023 - 11:31 am - Link - Report abuse -10Argentinian law does not apply in the S. Atlantic, is the ‘uncomfortable truth’, for Argentina.
Sep 25th, 2023 - 12:35 pm - Link - Report abuse +7They can ban who they like in Argentina, that is a matter entirely for them.
Just as it is the FIG who decides what happens in Falklands waters.
The ‘status quo’ is, as defined in UNGA 1514, that the British are the administering power and the inhabitants have the right to ‘freely dispose of their natural wealth and resources’.

‘overpowering another country through an usurpation backed by military superiority’
Really!
Wot like the Conquest of the Desert?
And:
‘Our self-respect as a virile people obliges us to put down as soon as possible, by reason or by force, this handful of savages who destroy our wealth and prevent us from definitely occupying, in the name of law, progress and our own security, the richest and most fertile lands of the Republic.’
— Julio Argentino Roca.
Not so easy trying to conquer the S. Atlantic, is it? Not dealing with a ‘handful of savages’ there, are you?
In fact the whole of what is today Argentina was usurped by military force, wasn’t it?
Hell, Argentine Law doesn't apply in Argentina!
Sep 25th, 2023 - 02:31 pm - Link - Report abuse +5Hahahaha - I love the way they talk about “conservation and preservation” when what it actually means is that they want to keep it for Argie politicians to steal and ferret the proceeds away in their own personal bank accounts. Also, since when was any part of the Argie government a “competent authority”???

3rdWorld says - “You cannot build legitimacy on bullying and overpowering another country through an usurpation backed by military superiority.”
Sep 26th, 2023 - 12:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0So will Argentina be returning Tierra del Fuego to Chile? Or Patagonia to the tribes? Or the Missiones to Paraguay?
People in glass houses ........ shouldn't
Birds of a feather ???, Argentina cosying up to China and buddies with Venezuela .Cuba and Putin Land. jeeeez, you couldnt make it up could you.
Sep 26th, 2023 - 07:41 am - Link - Report abuse -3You cannot build legitimacy on bullying and overpowering another country through an usurpation backed by military superiority. Every single country in the world exists entirely because at sometime the current inhabitants took it from someone else. The Falkland Islands would appear to be the most peace and least harmful “usurpation” in history...in that nobody was hurt, no inhabitant evicted, nobody financially harmed.
