Argentina going to UN in Falklands dispute

@Jess....If the argies sank 90% of our ships..... how did we get home? A funny one was HMS Canberra..... according to argie propaganda you sank that 3 times. You must remember it. That was the ship that sailed into Buenos Aries after the war to drop off the 11,000 argie prisoners we took

Argentina ... take a pill.
Hey, France owns Saint Pierre et Miquelon , just off the coast of eastern Canada.
And Canada doesn't get its panties in a twist .
In fact the oddity is a tourist draw for Canada .

A good diversion from domestic problems, for an Argentine Government a la 3rd world, is to drub up that old 'Falklands' bullshittzen again..("Malvinas"..my fat arse !)..

She could care less about the islands!!! She has run out of money and needs for the masses to look somewere else.

"We have suffered too much violence already to be attracted to military games and wars," Fernandez said during a nationally broadcast address. So then since the Argentines are so sensible and Britain having warships in the region is routine, there is no "serious security risk". I fail to understand the woman's problem.

Most Argentines do not know the history of their country let alone the history of the islands. This is all a distraction fro the real things that are going on in the country. There is a major economic problem brewing and Cristina needs this Malvinas issuse as a way to keep those issues from the headlines.
Cristina said no land should be a trophy of war. Well sweetie, your whole counrty is that, due to a war with Spain 200 years ago. So by her thinking, Argentina should be back in Spain's hands.
If the people of the islands want to stay British subjects, let them. Argentina only has become interested in the islands since the oil and gas reseves were discovered near there and they want that money. Nothing more.
The islands are British nd should remain British. Cristina needs to think about the problems the country has. If she did, maybe things wouldnt be so screwed up there.

The Brit's have veto power on the U.N. security council . But even if they did not , there is nothing to negotiate. Would like to see the writer's from all the various news agency's stop throwing the 1816 or 1833 number's around . The British had a settlement in the Falkland's from 1765 on . The only country to do so. The Brit's just arrived in force in 1833 after an American frigate raided /'fired on their settlement in 1831. The French and Spanish both abandoned the outpost they handed off to each other long before Argentina declared independence from Spain in 1816 . The Brit's are the only one's that stayed, from 1765 on . The Brit's own them . And I would like to see Argentinian 's stop posting that they want the Island's back . You have to have once had something ,to want it back . The Argentinian's ancester's were not a sea faring/ocean going people, and did not even know of the Island's existence before the Dutch reported discovering them in 1600. When did Argentina even buy it's first ocean going , merchant marine trading/ fishing vessel ? 1920 ?

There's nothing really left to be said as it's all been said in the threads below.
The history of the islands already exists. They have never been under Argentinian rule, the islanders believe themselves to be British therefore the UK government must protect them.

The Argentinians are the ones who militarised the area when they invaded in 1982. Britain had 22 Royal Marines stationed there in 1982 before the invasion. The British now have a permanent miltary presence so the window of opportunity has passed.

Britain is being drawn into an Argentinian internal political obsession but the Argentinians won't get any give from the British on this.

Also the Argentinian president complains that the UK has sent Prince William to the islands as a ramping up of the military temperature??? He's search and rescue pilot?? The worst thing he is likely to do is save a few Argentinians in the event that they are stupid enough to engage the British in naval combat.

They also complain that the British have sent a modern destroyer?? What did they want them to do, send a fishing vessel?? Britain has a number of modern type 45 destroyers, why wouldn't they use them?

I say take it to the UN, let them debate the issue, although it won't get past the security council.

So they're going to complain to the UN Security Council, I wonder if Argentina remembers that Englad has a permant seat and can veto any resolution that comes up.

Does Argentina know how to get to the U.N.?

While you are there say something about Russia giving back the Islands they took from Japan after World War II. Oh and good luck with that. The English on those Islands DON"T want to learn Spanish and I pretty sure of that.

the falklands is claim by thr britsih years before argentina exits, so it will be a worthless atempt to bing the case to the UN

I'm crying for you Argentina.......not!

and that cristina has a face like a bag of frogs

youse guys ain't smart, I is. dem britits got it, da argiees don't, end o storiee.

I do find it funny how some are trying to make the case that even though the Falklands were never a part of Argentina and that the people living in the Falklands don't want to become part of Argentina, that the Falklands should be handed over. Why do you folks make the same case to China over Tibet? That was a war of aggression and terror as a part of the Cultural Revolution. Make China move out. Tell them to go. I dare you to.

The Falklands are a self-governing British Overseas Territory, the United Kingdom is responsible for its defence and foreign affairs, but in other matter's they goven themselves ...... and thats the way the PEOPLE who live there want it to stay.The right of peoples to self-determination is enshrined in the first article of both the UN Charter and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The International Court of Justice has held that this right is ’irreproachable’.The ONLY way that the UK would hand over sovereignty would be with the consent of the majority of Falklanders. So the Argentinians should be trying to win over hearts and minds over there .... a hard enough task already esp. after the 1982 invasion, but to make matters even worse, Argentinians are currently calling random phone numbers on the islands and inundating the islanders with threatenining and abusive calls !! .... thick #$%$!

she is just trying to draw attention away from the crappy job she is doing

180 years ago everyone was stealing land, one from the other. Let's face it neither Mexico, nor Central America nor South America would be predominantly Spanish had they not stole it all from the indigenous Indians just like we did in North America. But it's just a tad late to complain about it 180 years later. The Falklands were never inhabited by the Spanish nor the Argentinians. The only use Argentina had for the islands was that they wanted to use them as a penal colony back around 1820. They have been British ever since. The entire population of 3,000 is British and they want to remain that way.

Argentina should give back all of its land to the natives from whom it stole it.
