Actually it has NOTHING to do with territorial waters and everything to do with defining continental zones based on the continental shelf. The ruling the UN gave could just as easily say that Argentina is in the Falkland Islands waters. The Argentinians are just being Argentinian.

I don't even need to look at the names, I already know who voted in favour of this.

We don't care though, it will be ignored. The FOG (Falklands Oil & Gas) owned by Britain is in those waters and doesn't give a fuck about the UN or Argentina.

Any attempts to arrest or kill our citizens will be met with deadly force. Argentina has already been told this.

The UN has already been told this.

Here's the actual UN press release: Commission on Limits of Continental Shelf Concludes Fortieth Session | Meetings Coverage and Press Releases

It deals with numerous bits of ocean around the world, but here's the bits relevant to Argentina:

At the plenary level, the Commission adopted, without a vote, two sets of recommendations, namely the recommendations in respect to the submission made by Argentina, and ... With regard to the recommendations in respect of the submission made by Argentina, it is recalled that, previously, the Commission had already decided that it was not in a position to consider and qualify those parts of the submission that were subject to dispute and those parts that were related to the continental shelf appurtenant to Antarctica (see CLCS/64, paras. 76 and 77 and CLCS/76 para. 57).

It's all about deciding where the continental shelf ends, in order to define rights to sea bed resources (e.g. oil). This is not the same thing as territorial seas. The UN commission noted that it had already said it wasn't going to even consider areas that were subject to dispute, nor anything related to Antarctica. However, Argentina has plenty of other continental shelf which is not near either of those areas.

Furthermore (but not in the story or press release), there is a deadline for submitting technical data for sea bed claims. I suspect that Argentina would need to submit such claims anyway even if they knew the UN wouldn't consider them, so that they would be on record within the deadline period for potential future use (not that they're likely to need them). Since they're still claiming the Falkland Islands, they can't very well not include those on their official charts, or else the UK would use that against them in future.

It should be noted that the Argentinian foreign ministry "tweet" referenced by the Guardian mentions nothing about the Falklands.

Long story short - this has nothing to do with the Falkland Islands.

Why do they want it so badly? This would be like if the Welsh asked for Rheged or Alclud to go back to Wales. There's no point, time's have moved on. All the Fawkland Islanders are going to do as soon as the island goes to Argentina is immediately petition to become a British overseas territory. Plus Argentinians would actually have to fight and die to reclaim them, who wants that?

I bet it's exactly the same in this case. The whole UN thing is a fucking sham. These commission tards just do a google query about the Falkland Islands and base their conclusion on the first 3 hits. And we're fucking paying for it.

You subhuman baboon.
You literal nigger.

How dare you speak, you swarthy jungle monkey. How dare you open your big lipped, rim encrusted, menthol cigarette smelling mouth?

You are human trash, Diego Tyrone LeShawn de Maradona. Universally despised, derided and mocked. Your nationality and skin tone offers no hope to the world that South America can ever prosper. Crawl back in to the Brazilian jungle you came out of, you literal orangutan.

I hope you decide to sail your grandfathers skip to the Falklands and rape some sheep, as is in the negroes nature. It would still be the whitest pussy you ever had. Give Nigel and Robert a chance for some target practice, your sole use to the world. Argentinians obsession with a few windswept islands in the Atlantic is hilarious but sad. Coincidentally its the only worthwhile contribution Argentina has made to the medical field. The MUH LAS MALVINAS sentiment in the average negro Argentinian is both an early warning sign of autism in children, and early on set Alzheimer's in adults.

Take your black hairy fingers off your keyboard, and never talk about human affairs again you antiquated farm equipment. No amount of olive oil and wheat flour slabbed on your face every morning will make you white. It's about as delusional of an idea as your daydreams of European heritage. Your crude makeup isn't fooling anyone.

You nigger.

You make Bolivia look like a beacon of civilisation.

You are the Baltimore of South America.

Go fertilise the Pampas with you and your families corpses, its the best you can hope for in life. For the first time in your life nigger, you will have a job. Making food for a race of beings of infinitely higher worth than you. Uruguayan cattle. Coincidentally, it would be the first time an Argentinian "man" provided for a family.

Die, Diego. No one would miss you. Except for Australian Aboriginals, who now would have no one to make them look good.

funny thing is we used to be close to argentina. If it wasn't for the decades of dictatorship and corruption that led to the Falklands conflict then we would still have a good relationship with them and profitable trade deals. Honestly the best thing that could have happened is if we had invaded and forced a regime change that was friendly to us and allied with us. Instead we kicked them off the island, wrecked their navy and then went home leaving their country in the same hands. Its spent the last 34 years slowly degrading further whilst still whining. Its a shame and quite sad as at the start of the 20th century they had quite alot of promise.

You shouldn't do that this time.

As fun as it was to see the perfidy perforators being used as the perfect counter to an invasion force nigh defenseless against them, it was embarrassing to see the Argies fail miserably at even stopping the invasion force.

Their navy was in home port and stayed there out of fear while the British took months to sail to what should have been heavily defended islands.

The small squads that they used instead of their entire airforce on strikes that could have wiped out the entire invasion force, which got rekt at home by fucking harriers (fucking HARRIERS) was embarrassing.

And despite destroying the only transports the Royal Marines had, they marched on foot across the Falklands outnumbered and kicked the shit out of them anyway.

Remember that there was no oil and gas incentive during the first war. The whole war was started to instill nationalism in order to quell disorder from how absolutely fucked up and in free fall the country was. It was a farce that wasted too many lives.

And as a strategic location, it's terribly inconvenient for a country who's main military and navy are so close to it anyway. The Falklands have no strategic and tactical value to the Argies.

You should have won the first war anyway, but your commander in chief Galtieri was only a military commander due to the junta, and in the end was as cowardly and Italian as they came. Your fleet in being staying there despite the ample timing for buildup and defense of the islands with the navy, the horrid use of your airforce, the only effective part of your military at the time, which allowed small squads to get demolished by harriers, and the lack of training given to your ground forces was simply retarded.

And at a pivotal moment, he sent the Belgrano alone to poke the defenses, and cried to the international community about its sinking instead of having used it with the rest of the fleet to drive the invasion forces away in a direct confrontation, something the British had no way to defend against, especially with your remaining Dreadnought which was modernized with range finding and a firing suite, as well as the Belgrano itself being an excellent DP cruiser.

I still can't get over how retarded juntas can be, and especially how retarded yours specifically was. Politicians squirming their way to high ranks like egotistical idiots who think they earned it are as useless as the screaming retards fighting for identity politics.

But at least those retarded leftists don't claim to be generals, and don't pretend to be military commanders.

Yes unfortunately, we sold our high tech military toys to the wrong side. It seems Argentine used some french WWII manuals, for their military, although powerful on the paper and being fighting at home, did nothing for months and went raped by fewer but determined anglos as a result.

But we didn't learned from that mistake, for we sold shittons of weaponry to niggers and sandniggers who can't even operate an AK without shooting themselves in the process.

The russians would have been able to operate our Mistrals properly, but that would have skyrocketed the efficiency of our weapons, so we had to cancel the deal and give them to egyptians instead.

So in the end, we'll probably sell weapons to them again, but refunds don't seem to be our policy.

One of the most important strategic locations in possesion by any country in the world. I would say it's only second to Guam or Diego Garcia (joint operating base to you bongs) in militarily important islands for force projection.

Post war when they did geologic surveys of the islands and the waters around them, they found oil and gas in quantities equal or greater to the North Sea. This is why the Argies keep making a stink about it after they were spanked off the islands.

Jesus Christ. That just makes it worse for the Argies.

If the Argies managed to scuttle the bad ships as blockers, had the entire fleet at the Falklands surrounded by sub nets and mines within beaching distance in case something got through, and used its airforce properly, I don't think they would have managed to beat the British.

Your skeleton navy was near embarrassing and your lack of bombers as well as the tactical failure of your bombing run was silly. The failure of the Argies to do literally anything not retarded and the British persevering still makes me giggle and marvel at the war.

The Israelis are the only high point to your weapons trading.

The amount of skill they showed and the rape they inflicted against "superior" designs like the Soviet aircraft and MBT's while using the mirage, the Nesher, and the 105mm armed super Shermans is nothing short of fantastic.

I can only imagine what they could have done with the AMX 12 and 13 90's-105's. Those tanks were too solid to be only used by monkeys.

>>69235281

It's something you should really research. It's the most important historical event for Argentina in the late 20th century.

Plus, I feel that reading about massive military failures is far more important than learning about the successes. You find out that these underdog stories were nothing but, and the failure of the viewed superior side was nigh innevitable. The reality is less shocking than history remembers most things.

Looking at it without historical shock brings many answers forward and gives one foresight for future events. At the very least If you're not a military fag, you can find a likeminded group to do a betting pool with. That makes tons of money off of history majors who think they know shit.

I didn't.

That was a silly raid that accomplished nothing beyond being cool if it wasn't for the Italian descended Argie commander in chief going full retard because of it.

But god damn that was fucking cool. The bomber was interned in Brazil at the end of it if I was not mistaken.

You should read up on how close that bombing came to being a fleet of Vulcans carrying a nuclear payload to Argentina.

Maggie lost her fucking mind in anger at the Argentinians. NATO and the European allies pissed her off even more and only Reagan was able to calm her down.

Without the promise of carrier support in case the plan went tits up, the pre emptive nuking would have happened (legally mind you).

If they put their whole fleet and defences around the Falklands we'd just have sailed to Buenos Aires instead and bombarded them into capitulation.

The most organic way to start (and the best way in my opinion, as this is how I did it), is to first just go on the Wikipedia article for the war and its leaders and then google the topics that interest you and require explanation like the Exocet usage, the old dreadnought that should have been modernized, the failure of the Air Force and your fleet in being, and generally anything that interests you.

The book "victory: the Reagan administrations secret strategy" is a good one to read that gives you a ton of info on late 80's Cold War era politics but in an americentric view. That should get you started for even more topics to research.

"Logistics of the Falklands war" is a good one but for real critique of the Argentinian failure, it's better to simply research it online. Some of the books on the Argentinian perspective are shit and opinionated, but so are most books about the war.

And of course it's good to go from that to other military failures like Singapore, early world war 2 Anglo failures, the German failures on the eastern front allowing the destruction of an army at Stalingrad, and especially the concepts of fleet in being, especially in regard to Germany in both world wars as it mirrors the argentine situation during the Falklands, especially the division of power and the failure to properly use their surface fleet in any responsible manner.

News articles from the Argentinian and British perspective post sinking of the Belgrano help solidify the retardation of your military.

The size of their home airforce and the military that wasn't used for the defense of the Falklands (most of it) should have been able to defend against such a thing.

They might have been shit, but that much shit on home turf would have been at least mildly effective.

The Argies were of that view point and incredibly scared of such a thing, to the point of irrationality, thus relegating the only possible way they could have beaten the British skeleton invasion fleet to a completely neutralized fleet in being.

This is what kept the majority of the troops at home, the airforce nigh ineffective despite their successes, and the troops on the island shit out of luck against a force that could only invade the Falklands, especially after the Exocet and bombing successes of the early war.

Galtieri's failure to do so is stereotypical of junta commander in Chiefs. You have to take risks to defend against a comparative military power, especially one who's on the path to reprisal nearly alone against you so far away from their home.

The British took the risks and were rewarded with a resounding victory. The junta and Galtieri took none of the risks, negated every advantage and chance of victory they had at the start, and suffered a crushing and embarrassing defeat.

Like I said before, it's stereotypical retardation from a junta leader who recieved their rank through politics with no military knowledge, much less experience or the balls needed to take the slightest risks.

HM Government has declared referendums are overruled by territorial integrity and actively campaigned against it in the UN. They also declared referendums may never be used as a means of validating a territorial claim multiple times, including in the UNSC and UNGA. They have declared that, for a referendum to be valid, any and all parties involved (including Argentina) must approve the results and sign relevant treaties.

The Royal Family itself, including Princes Phillip, Edward, Charles, and William, declared that a referendum never has any relevance to territorial sovereignty.

The UK has discussed using military force to uphold this belief about international law around the world.
