Falkland Islands part deux

[HEILTAMIL]

Clever ploy, that referendum. Pakistan could probably hold a similar referendum in POK, and all the Pakjabi settlers would undoubtedly vote to remain under Pakistani rule.

is that Unless we do the anti-hate pro india propaganda that , Islam is teaching peace, genocide and ethnic cleansing is haram,
by annihilating the fear of insecurity , that includes hindus treating our Indian muslims as equal, where they are a minority, instead of creating communal paranoia,


history says never lose hope, human will is the only power to succeed,

The trick there is to separate the corvertible (to peaceful coexistence with Hindus) from the non-convertible section of the Muslim community. Carrots for the good guys and hammer for the terrorists. Of course the "carrot" and "equality" part maybe a hard swallow for majority of Indian Hindus. And in a democracy the politicians will openly court the tow the popular line...

I suppose that a better strategy would be to disqualify all the "settlers" (I am referring to the Falkland Islands) and only let the "original" inhabitants cast votes in the referendum.

However, it is dammed difficult to get those pengiuns to understand the issues involved let alone actually cast a vote!

Jet fighter threat to the Falkland Islands | World | News | Daily Express

SPAIN is selling a fleet of Mirage fighter jets to Argentina in a £10million deal that fuels suspicions over relations between the nations who are both opposed to British territorial possessions, writes Marco Giannangeli.

President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner approved the deal, which will give Argentina the capability to attack the Falklands with laser-guided bombs. The 20 aircraft sold to the Argentine military are at Spain's Albacete air base and will be shipped to Tandil air base south of Buenos Aires

The ascent of the business-friendly Mr Massa, who is shaping up to be Ms Fernández's biggest rival in midterm legislative elections on October 27, has been made possible by ebbing support for the president's autarkic economic policies and the country's need to find a new approach – not least towards its international creditors.

Perhaps with Massa in power he won't need to distract Argentina from its real problems like Fernández has done with the Falklands.

The release accuses the UK of ignoring UN resolutions, International Law and growing world public opinion favorable to Argentina and sovereignty negotiations, which is the best evidence that in the Malvinas issue, "the lion still roars but no longer frightens".

There is also a direct attack on Prime Minister David Cameron arguing that in one paragraph of his Xmas message to the Falklands, the head of government specifically talks about the military defense of the Islands, "forgetting the message of peace of such a celebration".

Argentina claims that on 3 January 1833 British forces ousted an Argentine settlement and have since occupied the Falklands under a colonial regime with an implanted population, and with no legal or historic rights to justify such occupation affecting the country's territorial integrity.

Argentina must be taking lessons in bullying from PRC. Cristina must be having economic setbacks to need this distraction.

You mean, bullying training free with the JF-17/FC-1 jet fighter training?

With joint production of FC-1 ( speculative) are they moving forward for joint bullying, although near their respective air spaces and seas?

He told his commanders he was worried the South Atlantic islands would be invaded by Japan.

It could have been used as a base to harry shipping.

He was so concerned he sent about 1,000 soldiers to protect the islands and ensure Britain would not have to retake them. His fears were aired 40 years before Argentina invaded, triggering the 1982 Falklands War.
