You mean the implanted population? uhh?

They've lived there for several generations. They're the native population now.

They are not any more implanted than Argentinans are. Than Americans are. Than Australians are.

Ehm no. It's quite funny how some people think Argentina is wrong on everything. When it comes to the Top Gear incident.. when it comes to the vulture funds.. when it comes to the papelonera with Uruguay.. when it comes to the Malvinas etc. You are one of them :roll:


But they are wrong.

They tried fighting a war, lost. deal with it.

Not on everything. For example, I fully support Argentina when it comes to arresting Justin Bieber.

There are, however, a LOT of things that Argentina is doing wrong. I am also very much against a LOT of things that the US is doing that's wrong.

Said map was wrong, wrong and again wrong. It was so wrong that it isn't even funny. Just read the last two pages and realize how utterly wrong that thing was.

No problem.

The issue, you see, with deciding things based on historical claims, i.e. irredentism, is that it NEVER FUCKING STOPS, ok? Some country will always feel they've been neglected, no matter what you do. This has been time tested, and it just does not work. It's simply a stupid game where everyone takes turns over territories, and, inherently, people, that they think they're entitled to, with a bunch of men getting killed each time the ball gets passed around, with each turn.

More important than national egos, more important than anything else, is PEACE. This can only be attained if we drop this barbaric way of doing things and rely on democracy and self-determination instead. There is no other way, no middle ground. The only way of ensuring peace is understanding that the ultimate right to a land are to those people who actually live on it, not some distant government seat pretending to act in their best interests whilst actually serving their own, AND that as long as people are pleased with how and by whom they're being governed, they are peaceful.

Do you get this?


You are acting like it is 'impossible' to be supporting Argentina's claim. And that's utterly annoying, especially since most countries in the world support Argentina's claim.


Let us know if you ever come up with any real sources for your claim

Yes.

The Falklands want to stay British. Making them Argentinian would be as you said, "modern colonialism". Also, you'd end up loosing another war to Britain. Do you really want that to happen again?

Curiously enough, the same article (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_di ... _2010-2014) doesn't support what's in the pic.

Respaldo del G-77 y la República Popular China
La declaración final adoptada por aclamación, en su parte pertinente, señala: «Los ministros reafirmamos la necesidad de que el Gobierno de la República Argentina y el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte reanuden las negociaciones, de conformidad con los principios y los objetivos de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas y las resoluciones pertinentes de la Asamblea General».


Which is NOT a support for the Argentine claim.

Respaldo de Italia
El pasado 19 de abril de 2012, el Canciller argentino visitó el Parlamento italiano donde expuso ante legisladores italianos la posición argentina y requirió el apoyo a las negociaciones pacíficas entre Buenos Aires y Londres.
Debido a ello, el 14 de mayo de 2012 un grupo de 48 parlamentarios italianos manifestaron su apoyo a la solicitud argentina de reabrir las negociaciones sobre el caso las Malvinas y enviaron un documento firmado al secretario general de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), Ban Ki-moon, para que atienda el llamado del Gobierno de Cristina Fernández.


48 Italian MPs out of about 950 (630 deputati + 320ish senatori) is in NO WAY an Italian support for the Argentine claim over the Falklands.


Gallifrey Secundaria wrote:He can't, because the only two sources show the same thing. Italy doesn't support it. 15% 5% of their lawmakersdo did.

Fixed.
Because there are about 950 MPs in Italy. And because we've had parliamentary elections in 2013, in case someone didn't notice.
Also, they signed a paper supporting negotiations over the issue at the UN, not supporting Argentine sovereignty tout court.

What makes that Italian letter even more delicious is the fact that the senator who began it was an Argentine soldier during the war. Utterly objective, that man, I'm sure.

The people that live there don't want to be part of Argentina. That's it, they held a vote and overwhelmingly wanted to stay British. If you really support democracy you would accept that and stop supporting Argentina on the matter.

There's several things wrong about it. It grays out several nations that are a part of the EU that is neutral on the issue, China markedly does not support Argentina, the map is not shown on any other wikiepedia article on the issue and it is generally shoddily made.
