Dec 01st, 2023 - 11:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0You know politicians lie when they have to resort to inflammatory and distortive semantics in order to paint a picture that suggests a situation being something it is not.
Oh we know you exist alright ! We know you exist because you are not supposed to be there! LOL ... and this comment now exists, because you are the ones inventing a situation YOU seek to create and have thus brought on to yourselves because of your decisions and because of how you handled the place where you DO have “self determination”, meaning by saying what you choose to say.
The ONLY mistake Argentina made is being too intimidated and afraid of their genocidal US UK supported Military Occupation, to realize taking back the islands through a show of force was was giving those countries the chance to create a war and move in more strongly onto our region.
Everything else after that, and every other way in which you are describing the past and present is a tirades of lies Madam “Lawyer” - You all know very well what your “ruling government” is using you for. Don't try and put on Argentina your own sad predicament.
Oh bless, Trimonde. Really, one can’t make this stuff up. So the US and UK started the Falklands war?
Dec 01st, 2023 - 03:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Fancy the arrogance of the UK to respond to military force with… military force. What sort of monsters are they!
Horrible photo.

Dec 01st, 2023 - 04:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Falkland Islanders are there because their ancestors were there for nine or ten generations.
Unfortunately, Argentina has made up a history claiming an Argentine population was evicted from the islands. Historic fact shows that is false.
Spain did indeed have a population on East Falkland that voluntarily left in 1810. These people neither became Argentine, nor fought the insurgents, they returned to Spain.
Argentina tried and failed to settle on the islands and Britain reestablished its historic claim to West Falkland and took sovereignty of the all but empty islands.
The 1982 war is as irrelevant to the Peronist claims.
The UN state clearly the people on NSGTs have the right to self determination, every attempt by the likes of Trimonde to overturn that has failed.

What fantasy world does Trimonde live in ???, his crackpot conspiracies are so laughable it cant be taken seriously by anyone, not even the rabid Peronists,
Dec 02nd, 2023 - 12:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0It is clear that Pat the Rat Regini, the Hawaiian/Italian who claims to be an Argie, remains as nutty as a fruitcake. Really ought to stop smoking that stuff, Pat.
Dec 02nd, 2023 - 12:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0There is no longer any serious argument that the Islanders do not have the right of self-determination. All the peoples of all the NSGTs listed at the UN have it.
They may turn out to be the only peoples who do.
