May 13th, 2024 - 06:48 am - Link - Report abuse +1Mustn't forget that Chile and Argentina nearly went to war in 1978 over their 'Beagle Island Dispute.'

Falklands claim? This map clearly shows that in 1882 Argentina had abandoned her claim to the Falklands.

Undoubtedly there was cooperation with Chile during the liberation of the Falklands, but you can’t really blame them given Argentina’s long standing hostility towards them.
May 13th, 2024 - 01:25 pm - Link - Report abuse +2No doubt most Chileans would have supported the government’s position.
However, as usual, he offers no evidence to support his claims of exactly what went on.
And let’s face it how would he know, better if he stuck to talking about what help Argentina had from the USSR.
We all need somebody to hate.
May 13th, 2024 - 01:36 pm - Link - Report abuse +1Argentina chose “The rest of the world”
The rest of the world is just reciprocating to the Argentinian hatred.
Chile was indeed supporting the UK during the war. The Argentine military was exceptionally aggressive during the Beagle conflict which nealy resulted in war.

Balza's use of the term “historic truth” had me laughing. That's it then, he was there, it must be true.

May 14th, 2024 - 01:02 am - Link - Report abuse +2Argentina was going to attack Chile. (Operation Soberania).
Although Balza is trying to present Chile as underhanded,
the “rat” in the room is Argentina.
A rat trying to hide that they are a rat by painting someone else as the rat.
Quite low, but not surprising at all.
“We were going to stab you in the back, so you protected yourselves. What treachery!”
Poor old little Balza sobbing his heart out, its everybody elses fault except the idiots that started the war, Chile had every right to choose who it supported, when will these people grow up,

I need to remind the readership that Chicureo is a confirmed malignant narcissist.
May 14th, 2024 - 04:41 pm - Link - Report abuse -3Skippy is the sock-puppet of Chicureo a lying fascist.
Chicureo “Although I've defended Pinochet despite his regrettable actions...I support nationalists that are willing to protect their nation ...Just giving the vote to women has resulted in our current nightmare.“
The link between malignant narcissism, racism and fascism
Narcissism was linked to fascism by the father of bioenergetic therapy, Alexander Lowen, in his book, ”Narcissism — Denial of the True Self”
I'm very hopeful of Donald Trump's campaign, while Skippy is fananaic Joe Biden narcissist.

Or is your view that the readers of this thread accept the word of a malignant narcissist?
What is Malignant Narcissism?
Erich Fromm was a psychiatrist in the United States who immigrated from Hitler’s Germany in the 1930s. He was a world leader in many aspects of mental health and diagnosis. In his 1964 book, The Heart of Man: Its Genius for Good and Evil, Fromm used this term for the first time when he identified the pathology of narcissism as having two types: “benign narcissism” and “malignant narcissism.”
“On the other hand, there is a malignant narcissism. This is not about achievement, but rather something the person thinks they inherently have that’s special: “for instance, his body, his looks, his health, his wealth, etc…. Malignant narcissism, thus, is not self-limiting.” Fromm gives examples of many historical figures who had this type:
“The Egyptian Pharaohs, the Roman Caesars, the Borgias, Hitler, Stalin, Trujillo — they all show certain similar features.
The essence — and biggest danger — of malignant narcissism is that it keeps growing. Fromm wrote: “It is a madness that tends to grow in the lifetime of the afflicted person. The more he tries to be a god, the more he isolates himself from the human race; this isolation makes him more frightened, everybody becomes his enemy, and in order to stand the resulting fright he has to increase his power, his ruthlessness, and his narcissism.”

“Narcissists and their flying monkeys often repeat lies as if they believe telling a lie often enough somehow transforms it into the truth. A lie is still a lie no matter how often it is repeated or who believes it.”
