#1 I suspect we all know where this one is going, and whom is behind it.

#4 Yeah. But do the Brits have the spine this time?

#6 Just wait. Soon Hawaii will be found to lie in Chinese waters.

#7 Sometimes it takes a little threat to bring a country together. Argentina may want to think twice.

Having said that, the UK probably should have given the islands to Argentina with some kind of lease back (first 100 years free). Let the Argies have the oil and remove the target from the islands before it escalates into war and the UK has no way of backing out without honor.

#8 ruh roh.
Seems Mendiola may be on to something about Argentina being an alternative to Brazil for Sporting South America United.

And do not forget Obama gave legitimacy to this claim during his OAS face sucking tour.

#10 Property rights from an organization that has Zimbabwe on its human rights council? So credible. /sarcasm

#11 And Israel is the biggest human rights violator. North Korea and Iran are perfect. Writing trump on a white board is deemed violent behavior but the activists blocking the streets are exercising their 1st ammendment rights. I have officially lost my mind.

#12 You have not lost your mind. On the contrary you have kept it while society has gone mad around you.

#13 Of course China and Argentina are on this bullshit commission, and logrolling bought the rest of the bureaucrats. Have their fervid imaginations given the Spratleys and Senkakus to the ChiComs yet?

The Peronistas lost their election, and the current administration had been cooling off the loud nationalist chest-thumping. Now that some corrupt UN bureaucrats have relit the fuse, they're back to the chest-thumping. I can't imagine that the current petroleum pricing can make this worth the candle, any which way...

#14 UN commissions are dime a dozen. Do you really believe this can pass security council?

#15 I wonder if it is too late to sell the islands. If they're too much trouble for the UK, they could offer to hand them over in exchange for $$relocation$$ expenses. UK gets to think of it as a sale, Argentina an admission of their sovereignty, locals get rich and the UK gets the lion's share in taxes anyway.

If there's oil they'll probably hang on, but if not...
