Sep 01st, 2026 - 06:16 pm - Link - Report abuse +1He is claiming a ‘shift’ in the American position, we shall see what he says in the address, as to whether he knows something we don’t, which is possible but frankly I doubt, or whether it’s more smoke and mirrors to make it look to Argentinians like something is happening.
Sep 01st, 2026 - 10:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I recall CFK saying with respect the Falklands, ‘it’s taken us a long time to get this far’, having got exactly nowhere.
It’s a mantra all Argentinian politicians, in power, troop out periodically, ‘we are getting somewhere in this’, but never explain exactly what has changed in the real world.
The islands are a relic of British colonialism.
Sep 02nd, 2026 - 04:01 pm - Link - Report abuse -1Argentina is the result of Spanish and Argentinian colonialism. and when a land is decolonised it is given to the people that live there. not transferred to another country against its wishes, give Patagonia back to the natives, then piss off back to Spain and Italy.
Sep 02nd, 2026 - 04:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Islands were unclaimed and unoccupied when the British arrived, although they had been visited periodically by Patagonian Indians, however Argentinian expansion soon finished them off, so not really ‘Colonialism’ by the British.

Their were-president needs to stop howling at the moon, set out the state of his haircut and go and invest in a pair of scissors.
Sep 03rd, 2026 - 01:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Marcos Alejandro, by your own logic Argentina is a relic of Spanish colonialism. The Falklands are an internally self governing country. The chose to remain British, and the UK only has a military presence to deter further aggression, like that seen in 1982.

Sep 03rd, 2026 - 06:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0'“the most important and sacred cause“ is to gain sovereignty of a group of islands you have never owned, that your own historic records show were never yours, and every inhabitant pities and despises you.
You'd think poverty, filth, corruption, ridding the country of the cancer of Peronism....they might be ”“the most important and sacred cause we Argentines have”.....but no, an island group completely irrelevant to your history.
Beggars belief.
