Paul Kennedy Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 "Argentina was celebrating a diplomatic coup yesterday in its attempt to force Britain to accept talks on the future of the Falkland Islands, after a two-hour meeting in Buenos Aires between Hillary Clinton and President Cristina Fern?ndez de Kirchner." From the Times, guess we've been stitched up by the US. That special relationship is all one way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safeway56 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Falklands inhabitants did not replace an indigenous population because there was none. The islands were claimed by Britain in 1765, long before Argentina existed as a country, and have been permanently settled since 1833 http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/mar/10/argentina-falklands-claim-not-valid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
