Full article 42 comments

Amid rampant inflation, Argentina will celebrate 40 years of democracy when the new president to be elected on Sunday, Oct. 22, takes office. Although five candidates made it through the Aug. 13 Open, Mandatory, and Simultaneous Primary (PASO) elections, only three of them are considered to have a real chance to succeed Alberto Fernández.

    First prize will be a term as president of Argentina.
    What’s second prize? Two terms?

    It’s all just rhetoric anyway so I am hoping Milei gets in. At least some of the illegal sanctions against us might get eased for a while.

    It will be good to see the end of Kirchnerism and CFK herself. I wonder how many legal actions are waiting for her.

    Milei wants leaseback agreement :

    “The Malvinas Islands are Argentine. Sovereignty is not renounced. It is true that there was a war in which we lost. Now we are proposing a solution so that the islands return to Argentina and reach an agreement with England as China did with Hong Kong ”Milei said in statements to Radio Continental.

    Today as with the past no agreement without the consent of the islanders.

    The Nationalistic Jingoistic Peronists have been a disaster for Argentina, and as far as the Falklands go the matter is settled,

    I hope Milei wins. Peronism is one of the most destructive political regimes on earth, it is so poisonous the population of Argentina cannot even see its sickness.

    “Now we are proposing a solution so that the islands return to Argentina and reach an agreement with England”

    Which would be a clear breach of international law. Namely, “UN Charter; DECLARATION REGARDING NON-SELF-GOVERNING TERRITORIES; Article 73; Members of the United Nations which have or assume responsibilities for ..peoples have not yet attained ..of self-government recognize the principle that the interests of the inhabitants of these territories are paramount, ..b. to develop self-government, ...”

    Self-determination
    The right of a people to self-determination is a cardinal principle in modern international law, binding, as such, on the United Nations as authoritative interpretation of the Charter's norms. Wikipedia”.

    I dont normally converse with vermin, but i will make an exception this one time, what a very silly little boy you are think, Britain and the Falklanders could not care less who is Argentine president, its completely irrelevant, as is Argentina ,no one is remotely concerned in any way of losing anything only in your deluded mind, unlike Spain, Britain gave up its colonies peacefully and the last few BOTs can become independent any time they choose, as for your disgusting racist remarks, all that does is show you up for what you are, no wonder no one likes you, including your 3 ex wives, so put back on your straight jacket your leg bracelets and return to the secure psycho unit you escaped from ,

    “pathetic remain of their former global dominance will end otherwise.”

    Not as pathetic as the Argentine ilegal claim.

    Self-determinaton being the top-card in the UN Charter deck.
    Ironic that the UK has enabled more nations to exercise this very attribute.
    There is not a shred of Charter support, for an Argentine claim.

    Its quite easy to explain how the Falklands will remain British for as long as the islanders wish.

    The reason is that the people who run Argentina are like Think. They are dishonest, cowardly, not very intelligent and incredibly lazy. They like the sound of their own voices but when it comes to actually doing anything, not so much.

    With an enemy like that, or like Think, the islanders can sleep easy. If a proper country was claiming British territory, then maybe there would be more to worry about.

    Here he comes the weirdo who spends his time watching another weirdo. Besides consuming copious amounts of alcohol, and singing the praises of Pinochet.

    Malignant Narcissist. A special sub-type of narcissist that has also some traits of ASPD, such as aggressiveness, deceitfulness, and remorselessness. They are often sadistic and gain pleasure from hurting others.
    Psychopath/Sociopath. Considered to be sub-types of ASPD where the criteria must include disregard of laws and norms. Their meanings have changed over time and are used inconsistently. Only the term “psychopath” has been recognized in the DSM-5, and it is not an official diagnosis. Some researchers believe that a psychopath is more biologically-determined and a person’s environment is more responsible for producing a sociopath. Still others believe that there are differences between the two in how they behave. For example, they believe that a psychopath is more calculating and a sociopath acts more spontaneously. Finally, still other researchers believe that there is no difference– they are two terms applied to the same group of people with little evidence to support that there is an actual distinction in cause or behavior. The main features that both terms share that are relevant to narcissistic abuse are the lack of a conscience or remorse and the ability to manipulate and deceive.

    In the 1970s, the Nobel prize-winning economist Simon Kuznets is reported to have said there are four types of countries in the world: developed, undeveloped, Japan and Argentina.

    A century ago, Argentina had a higher GDP per person than Germany, Italy or France, according to the Economist, and migrants from across Europe went there to work its fertile lands and become “riche comme un Argentin” (rich like an Argentinian). A phrase that is now used as a joke. Today, Germany’s GDP is quadruple Argentina’s. The South American country has suffered no fewer than 14 recessions between 1950 and 2016, according to the World Bank.

    and they want more of it!

    I knew that hook would catch a tu3d. Its so easy.....and it is so predictable.

    A century ago, Britain was the fifth richest country in the world, and its still fifth or sixth. It voluntarily gave self determination to the peoples of a 1/4 world surface area, the only country in history to choose to disband its empire. Britain is prosperous and fine.

    Argentina is the only country to go from 1st world to third world, and they chose it.

    but so much fun to stick the hook in and catch the f00l.

    A new document containing the details of 12,000 Nazis who fled to Argentina has been published after it was discovered in an old storage space in Buenos Aires.
    The US-based Simon Weisenthal Institute, which has been instrumental in tracking down Nazis, published a few pages of the document on Monday.
