Argentina operates ‘blockade’ of Falklands by boarding Spanish fishing vessels operating with British licences

Meanwhile, it emerged today that Argentina has been quietly courting Iran - with exports to the country soaring more than 70 per cent last year to $1.5billion.

Argentina's ties with Iran had been virtually frozen since Argentine authorities secured Interpol arrest warrants for five Iranians and a Lebanese in 2007 in connection with a 1994 attack on a Buenos Aires Jewish center that killed 85 people.

But now Iran is the biggest buyer of Argentine corn, a key crop for the Latin American country as it strives to bolster its trade surplus.

The seeds of the recent diplomatic row were planted in January last year when British oil rigs arrived off the Falklands.
President Kirchner threatened a blockade of ships and Brazil appeared to take sides by refusing to allow a Royal Navy ship to dock in Rio de Janeiro.

Relations cooled again in July after Argentine foreign minister Hector Timerman directed a volley of abuse at the UK. He accused David Cameron of acting like a 'bully-boy thug' over the islands.

Malvinas Argentinas!!!

Hey Brits, this is for you:

Falklands War 2.0 - COMING SOON to a beach near you!

who OWNS The Falkland Islands?

We, the Latinos.

That's not true.
History will argue that point.

My Bad, I just read the article from the Daily Mail which states that the Falkland Islands "were ceded to Britain in 1833".

Interesting, although it wont lead anywhere.

According the the article I quoted, the islands were ceded to Britain in 1833....

The article goes on to say that

The Falklands government issues licences to vessels wanting to fish inside the 200-mile maritime zone around the islands.

Now, are you speaking on behalf of all Latinos when you say we the Latinos, or just yourself from your Favela?

Sure I'm not on behalf of you and your Rancho.

Lambebotas de yanquee, como todo chicano...

Of course not Dear Boy, nowhere ahsll it lead, perhaps the U.K. Government is right when they say that Areginte is just saber rattling, after all, can they really afford an international incident?

If laws govern ownership, then either the U.K. will give it up, or defend her position.

It is a bit far away though across the Seas, can the U.K. rule the waves does it even have a MIGHTY naval force protectorate??

I'm sorry what was that? Do you tremble in fear that much when speaking the Queen's English that you have to say it in Portuguese?

Fuck you, American's pet.

America's Pet? Whatever do you mean?

Are you implying that we have extremely strong relationships in Mexico that are the envy of the entire continent of the Americas?

The Malvinas were STOLEN from Argentina in 1833, when Britain sent the frigate HMS Clio, and took over the islands.

Argentina NEVER gave the islands to Britain.

Pet.

What a sad girl you are, first you insult the British, then you insult the Mexicans and The United States of America?


Oh and here is a quick little lesson, just for you, in ENGLISH....

cede (sd)
tr.v. ced·ed, ced·ing, cedes
1. To surrender possession of, especially by treaty. See Synonyms at relinquish.

Will be over in a jiffy

Britain has around 1,200 service personnel on the islands, the Royal Navy has three warships in the area and four RAF Typhoon fighter-bombers have been deployed.

The Foreign Office said: ‘Although we are aware that Argentina has challenged vessels transiting between the Falklands and the port of Montevideo we are not aware of any vessel that has been fined or individual arrested. The UK has protested to Argentina.’

The UK no longer has sufficient military strength to enforce their claim on the Faulklands when Argentina again invades the islands. This is what happens when a country allows its military strength to erode and become weak.

If Argentina tries to invade the islands....there will be lots of dead Argentinians.

Not a smart move.

yes i agree with you

Agree all you want.....but they were weak in 1982 and still won.

...and now they have 3 times the troops stationed there since 1982.

Malvinas Argentinas you fucking thieves
It is very outrageous to see how you stole a territory that's farther than 10 k km away from you



YOU ARE WRONG. HE TOLD YOU THAT IN SPANISH.. A LANGUAGE THAT YOU SUPPOSEDLY YOU SPEAK



THAT'S ALL A LIE YOU KNOW THAT THE ONE WHO BEATS WRITES DOWN HISTORY BUT WE DON'T FORGET ANYTHING HERE WE ALL KNOW THE MALVINAS ARE AN WERE ARGENTINIAN

YOU ARE TO FAR AWAY TO KNOW THAT ... IT'S LIKE SAYING THAT MEXICO CEDED ITS TERRITORIES

AND THE BRAZILIAN BROTHER IS RIGHT... WE DO INSULT THE QUEEN WHO HAS BROUGHT SO MUCH TRAGEDY INTO OUR LIVES.. FOR AN EXAMPLE BECAUSE OF HER FAULT.. BOLIVIA DOES NOT HAVE ANY SEA PORT BECAUSE THE QUEEN HELPED CHILE STOLEN IT FROM US... AND THEY CAUSED THE CHACO WAR BETWEEN BOLIVIA AND PARAGUAY JUST FOR TWO OIL COMPANIES.. AND ABOUT USA .. THEY DEVELOPED THE CONDOR PLAN THAT CATAPULTED TO POWER THE MOST SADISTIC DICTATORS UNDER THE SPONSORSHIP OF USA. AND THAT HAPPENED IN ALL LATIN AMERICA

IT IS TIME FOR YOU MEXICAN, TO GET OVER THAT ARGENTINA BEATS YOU ON SOCCER MATCHES....AS FAR AS I'VE SEEN IT'S ALWAYS WHY YOU PEOPLE HATE THEM..IT A MATCH FOR GOD'S SAKE WE ARE TALKING OF ABUSE HERE....

Can't see them ever trying to take them back again when we have subs/warships and Eurofighters permanently over there.
