Falklands: The votes are in, but Cristina can’t believe it
CNN:
More than 99% of voters said yes, according to Darren Christie, public relations manager for the Falklands Islands government. Just three people voted no. Turnout was 92%.
The Argentinian government won’t have it, because, as the guy in the video said, “Of course [they'll] vote that way, they’re British citizens,” but “the Falkands will always belong to Argentina” no matter what.
As one of my UGA classmates in economics used to say, “if you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull s**t.”

Evita III should remember some history. The 1976-1983 Junta was toppled by the fallout from its failed invasion of the Falklands/Malvinas. Or was that the Maldives the Junta invaded?

Interesting that the Telegraph said that Obama made “uncharacteristic error” by calling the Falklands/Malvinas the Maldives. Apparently the Telegraph was not aware of 57 states,profit earnings ratio, transcontinental railroad, corpseman, Texas had always been Republican……
