New Argentine authorities urge London to abandon the occupation of the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands

January 4 2016 62

The new president of Argentina, Mauricio Macri, who is considered a pro-Western politician, on the day of the next anniversary of the landing of British troops on the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands declared that the official Buenos Aires considers the Malvinas Archipelago to be occupied by Britain as part of Argentina. His statement on this issue was presented in the Argentine Foreign Ministry (quote TASS):

Today, after 183, after the illegal occupation (Malvinas and some other islands), which continues to this day, the people and government of Argentina once again confirm the inalienable right of the Argentine Republic to sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. Restoration of control over these territories is a state policy and meets the aspirations of the Argentine people.

New Argentine authorities urge London to abandon the occupation of the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands

The Argentine foreign minister said that Buenos Aires called on the British authorities to sit down at the negotiating table as soon as possible to resolve the issue of the status of the Malvinas, South Sandwich Islands and South Georgia.

It should be recalled that Argentina did not recognize the results of the referendum that the British authorities held on the archipelago. The 2013 referendum of the year, as stated in London, showed that the residents of the Falkland Islands wished to remain subjects of the British crown. Then London declared that the people themselves expressed their will, and "this is the highest value of democracy." But the British authorities did not recognize the outcome, for example, of the past year a year later the referendum in the Crimea, for some reason immediately forgetting about the supreme democratic value of the people's will ...

Well!!! A la "Westerner" is not so simple. In the United States, they laughed after the elections ... that they say all the agreements with Russia were suspended in the air! For the supply of combat aircraft, for example! Not everything is so simple.

    The pro-Zapadnik, the proostostok are just terms. The state officials are pragmatic and the interests of other countries interest them only from the point of view of whether this is good or bad for their country.
    It will be beneficial to be friends with the States - they will be with the States. Favorable with China - will be with China. With us means with namm. Ideally, with everyone.

    ))) It will be that, in 1982, the war with England means a war with NATO. Argentina will not be able to withstand such a force. No matter how much NATO is mocked here, Argentina is not the fruit to resist the alliance. You must be realistic and objective about such issues.

Yes, since 1982, each president of Argentina, each assuming office, promised to return the Falklands to Argentina, but the islands are said to be there now, that is, from the Saxo-Saxons, this pro-Western thing is to brush up from time to time, and then the grass doesn’t grow, just to get a credit card.

And with such a weak army, these are just unfounded statements that will be paid attention only in your country. Yes, and then they laugh sadly.
  Argentina obviously does not have a lot of money, but all one is necessary to modernize the army in order to have a certain number of professionals. Turn to Russia as your predecessor and it will not refuse to help. At the same time, we troll the British together.

  Argentina will not be able to squeeze the islands, because, as a poor country, it launched its army and navy. The condition of both is deplorable. There is no money for new equipment. The British, little by little, have renewed themselves. So with the help of the "great democratizers" they will not only deprive Argentina of the islands, but, as it were, not the entire continental part ...

Double standards ... that you take it from their Anglo-Saxons in their blood.

In this case, the Argentines do not shine ... they have no strength to return the Falklands, the United States is clearly on the side of the Britons ... so this is a stalemate for them.

A friend caught a fish there, says all the money that he managed to earn, he earned it there. In the area of these islands there are very good conditions for feeding fish, the same as ours in the area of the Kuril ridge, even better, and therefore these places are of great economic importance to everyone, hence the special interest of any country in owning these islands.

For sure, a populist, Argentina in the 80s had at least something and didn’t do anything significant at sea (they hid almost the entire fleet in the port of Ushuaia), and only planes bombed the Britons. Now it’s not possible at all ... in order to capture the islands the Argentines should have a fleet my opinion: it’s like 6-8 potato frigates, 2 aircraft carriers like Vikramadity with an air wing 10 boats 212 with a harpoon or better 636.6 with a caliber, air wing with 30 su-35 , air defense s-300, s-400. But with this set you can compete with the shaving, and if this is not the mission is doomed to failure. And the spoken words are just a concussion. Here the Japanese in our Kuril Islands have a good advantage over surface ships, but so far they do not scamper about what will be better, the devil knows.

  How many years has Argentina existed as a state? When did people from Europe begin to settle there? Britain, probably, even before it began to settle in Europe from Argentina, traveled to the oceans and discovered new lands ... Not so unambiguously with the Falklands. Politicians stir up passions of the land, on any side, while the rest simple dissolve.

If the two thousandth population of islands, mainly of British origin, preferred that they remain British territory, then there is nothing to be done.

Do not pay much attention to these words. This is their usual catch phrase. As Ukrainian politicians claim that they will return Crimea.

These are just words. Argentina now has neither a healthy economy, nor political will.

  Correctly. Others say that in South America in the 23rd century a new embodiment of the soul of the late Stalin Joseph Vissarionovich will take place in the human body. Then there will be a new and powerful USSR, then the Latinos will regain the Malvins.

Everyone thinks that the United States rules the world, in fact Britain. She has long subdued America through Wall Street and skillfully controls them, and through them, the rest of the world. The USA is not the first year in the sixes to run in front of England. The most intelligent and cunning people. Playing on the pride and pride of the Americans, they make them spend a lot of money on weapons, since they print them as much as they like and wagons send them to the right place, and they save on this and maintain their economy at a high level, and fight for Britain or whom to bribe if necessary, will be the USA. So Argentina will wait.

official Buenos Aires considers the Malvinas archipelago British-occupied part of Argentina.

We need to consider this primarily from the point of view of our own national interests. Argentina does not have money for new weapons, but there are minerals. Argentina has reserves of uranium, manganese, copper ores, beryllium; There are lead-zinc, tungsten and iron ores. Further, everything is according to the classical scheme, minerals from there - weapons there (and all in national currencies). As soon as the Argentinean fingers begin to gather in a fist, NATO will receive another point of tension and a smearing of resources, which, in fact, is what we need.

Unfortunately, Margaret Thatcher also put Argentina in place by threatening with nuclear weapons, in which the United States supported it.
So the calls will remain only on paper, unless of course in England the analogues of our Humpbacked and drunk ebn appear, but such people are not allowed to power in England,

  Where does such data come from about "threatening with atomic weapons"? Just according to the documents that have been dumped into the network in recent years and so on, the memories of high-ranking officials from London, about the atomic against Argentina because of the Falklands, and it was never even discussed by the Londoners-British. Moreover, the United States would never have supported them in this. They also have an agreement with Argentina on assistance in the attack, Argentina attacked first, so they did not go to help her --- remaining officially neutral, they helped Britain a little --- their other ally.

Another populist statement, nothing more. Then, in 1982, if Argentina had all the warheads in good condition, there was at least some chance of returning the islands. Now there is no chance. The Argentinean Navy still consists of a team of old-time rubbish bunkers from the 1960s and 1980s. And the Royal Navy of Great Britain has been completely updated since then and consists entirely of modern ships built in 1990-2010. There is no point in even comparing. To send the Argentinean vessels to the bottom, the Britons do not need either nuclear weapons or the help of the United States, they themselves can cope without problems.
