The 'funny' thing, which I think went rather unnoticed, is that the headline of that Pagina 12 article is a mistranslation. Kollmann sent Rafecas the original email in English, which the judge quoted in his decision. Kollmann writes "Lo que dice Nisman es falso" but Noble actually says something...

I've been very happy lately with inexpensive wines from Valle de Tulum in San Juan. Las Moras's (Dada, Love, etc.) were already mentioned here. Another big winery there is Graffigna. Did someone find their Pinot Grigio at a good price? There's also Casa Montes. I liked their Ampakama Torrontés...

Hi, This is a good and easy-to-read chapter about the May revolution by way of a biography of Mariano Moreno, its mastermind (not of the revolution itself but of the government it installed): http://archive.org/s...ge/142/mode/2up It is a bit outdated, as there were interesting findings since...

I don't think molmalo's analysis is good. The message is answering about the dissatisfaction of the people so, in that context, it makes sense to reduce "economic situation" to current possibilities to consume and purchase dollars. But if we're to take it as commentary about the economic status...

A bit closer but still far from understanding. Most critiques to this government have nothing to do with overspending. There's nothing "innovative" in that statement. The blogger pretty much supports it throughout the article, particularly when he answers the "debate" question with "endeudarse...

Not much of an understanding of other people's ideas here. It's more comfortable to believe that they're simply tax evaders who dislike democracy, right? Every default is followed by deleveraging. This is forced on the defaulter, not a chosen policy. Actually, government deleveraging in...

It is arguable to say that the case for Eastern Greenland is comparable to Falklands/Malvinas, besides it being treated not by the ICJ but by its predecessor the PCIJ. On the one hand, without having studied it, I doubt it is as complex. What was under dispute was not ten times more if we...

I didn't argue about the importance or unimportance of the C24. What I said is that the invalidity of a secessionist claim from the Chinese at Barrio Chino is not due to their absence in the C24 list, but to the limits of the self-determination doctrine applied to a sovereignty decision.

There is much to celebrate from Belgrano despite him seeking for a monarch for these lands. AFAIK, he wrote little about his ideas on republicanism, but had good rapport with San Martin who liked a constitutional monarchy in the British style. I don't think the Arg Indie is doing a good job...

Everyone has a right to self-determination, but that right only in certain cases implies entitlement to decide the sovereignty of the land they live in. Near the beginning of this thread you answered that Chinese residents weren't entitled to secede because they weren't considered a colony, but...

It's unlikely that the Air Force didn't have a translator to work on the manuals of the ordinary bombs they used. The difficulties with the bomb fuses are well known, though its unclear how much effect each problem had. They were related to the challenge of using, for a different application...

Ouch, I need to read to the end of the thread before answering... My response was caught in the middle of a cake-in-the-face gag. :)

Rico argues that Britain gives back its colonies whenever it wishes to, so it will do the same with Falklands/Malvinas, and then he says: "Because there is another paradigm, that we Argentinians have accepted, namely the self determination of peoples, and what we need to understand is that on...

In the UK, Argentina, and other civil nations, a man has to be proven guilty before condemning him. But now I'm learning that in "Falklandia", this imaginary world where international law, history and demographics are morphed, it's alright that a guy is threatened to leave his country and his...

I don't have a copy of their whole letter by Palmerston, but read a fragment as quoted by Hope in his thesis published by Boston College Law Review. The fragment includes the paragraph from which P&P extract a few words to make their argument. I quote the paragraph in this message (near the...

The 1850 agreement coincided with Palmerston's correspondence saying that lack of protest wouldn't imply acquiescence, which in diplomacy may be considered a request not to protest, or at least Hope makes that interpretation. In the years thereon, it wasn't necessary to protest as not much time...

I agree, the headline misleads. Clarifying that was the purpose of my last message ('Actually, now that I read the article properly' etc.) Sorry, I hurried when I posted that as 'news'. The problematic part is where it says that the government should seek full sovereignty (ejercicio pleno de...

I keep telling everyone that the food is great there but, coming to think of it, I haven't been there for years. I hope it hasn't changed and I'm not deceiving people.

Actually, now that I read the article properly, Castro didn't offer to change the Constitution beforehand, but said something in accordance with what I have argued in this thread. My translation of her words according to La Nación:

Did I ever bring forward the 2007 pamphlet? I've even been careful not to use Argentine references, though there are good ones. I haven't defended the 2007 brochure, yet you've been reproducing the claims in P&P's pamphlet over and over again, waving that 'little red book' of anti-Argentine...
