EHHHH GRINGO VOLANTE ( no "volador" please ! )
what does a US Citizen do, living in Formosa ?
our physician here in Houston comes from that province, and we thought that is as remote as one can get. Maybe you know the family ( Bordon )
Are you into QUEBRACHO ? yerba mate ? what (besides RC, of course ! )
About the Malvinas/Falklands..... the Argentines prefer to ignore the historical fact that the British took possession way back in time, like some centuries ago.
"Las Malvinas son Argentinas" [ the M.islands belong to Argentina] ... is a motet that was already implanted into the elementary school children in the 30's and 40's.... maybe before that even, but I wasn't around until then.
The BASIS for the claim is that the "submarine platform" i.e. the bottom of the sea up to 200 meters is part of the adjacent country, and it so happens that the platform extends as far as those islands and they rise from 200 meters and less. Consequently, the country feels that it is a real part of the territory, thereby rejecting the claim of "occupation" by the British.
It is just another of those un-resolvable items, like abortion, gay marriage, the Palestinian question, used by humanity to perpetuate uncivilized conflict,etc.
This is just another opinion. added to this exchange for some COMIC RELIEF.
