Christina "Evita" Kirchner Stokes Falklands Again For Re-Election Distraction
2011-04-04
HT to HotAir. Wonder whether to place this in WOT Politix or Seedy Pols or both. She's a dirtbag populist who can't make the economy work, so it's back to war-fever for re-election. Hillary's twin?
Seedy Politicians. This is a local issue, unconnected to either the world caliphate jihad or the Mexican drug gangs' war.
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner made the announcement as she said that "the Malvinas are Argentine for ever" and the government "will never yield in our claim".

President Kirchner was speaking at an event to mark the 29th anniversary of the invasion of the Falklands at the weekend. The country's presidential election is due in October and the decrees will be seen as evidence that President Kirchner will use patriotic sentiment over the Falklands to help to win votes.

Speaking at an event in Rio Gallegos, Santa Cruz province, she said: "I know we are going to recover what belongs to us."
meaning an ass-kicking and bruised Argie pride, to be nursed and stoked for the next politician that needs to distract the rubes

#5  If she starts a war over the Falklands, where does that get placed?

At this point I'd say Non-WoT, Frank. But get us evidence that she's connected to the narco-idiots, and the whole thing gets bumped up.

#4  Is it just me, or is anyone else suddenly getting mental images of UK Harriers taking off the "OUR PROPELLERS DON'T WANNA LEAVE PORT" CHARLES DE GAULLE???

#3  So, maybe this is the time NATO finally dies as the Argies go back, England requests military assistance from the US IAW the NATO Charter and Obama refuses to act.

#2  Funny that this pops up right at the same time as an oil discovery in the Falklands is announced.

#1  thanks TW. I have my thoughts that she's part of the Evo/Hoogo narco-protection trust. But they are just that, thoughts. If she starts a war over the Falklands, where does that get placed?
