This is RT News, short for Russian Television, and presents Kremlin view of the Western media topics. All the anchors sound right, editing is familiar, everything looks and feels like CNN or BBC: One is correct to say that RT News is technically a anglo-american news broadcast - except the viewpoint is Russian. Unaware the western audience will not automatically categorize it as foreign and alian so the message sinks in until you consciously realize the message is not what you expected.

"Known locally as Las Malvinas"???? What kind of journalism is this? If by "locally" we mean the population of the islands, just go there and see how far you get with your "Las Malvinas". The islands are inhabited by a population calling themselves "Falklanders" or "Falkland Islanders". This local population does not recognise Argentinian sovereignty. Whatever happened to democracy?

@8LyJu8

you seem the brainwashed one sunshine

@8LyJu8 We didn't "establish" anything! You are Argentina, your people would never have condoned such a thing.

Argentina makes it's own decisons and did so back then...

@8LyJu8 then go to the ICJ and get international acknowledgement and approval. it is your country that refuses to resolve the issue in court.

[Oder1001]

@8LyJu8 the trouble with treaties that Argentina makes with the UK concerning the islands is that they have broken every one they have signed, you cannot opt out over the responsibilities of your government`s previous behaviour because it was a dictator ship the failure of that dictatorship to prevent the UK retaking the islands, caused your population to remove it from power, No maybe you did not vote for it, but the majority of Argentine approved of the invasion.

[8LyJu8]

@Jonny2Jags So, you could study a little bit about Malvinas history, not just from UK and UK traslated books.

[8LyJu8]

@Jonny2Jags Excuse me: international laws, historical proofs says that Malvinas are part of Argentina's territory.

[8LyJu8]

@Oder1001 I'll not. I know that economically talking Argentina and the UK are partners for convenience.

[8LyJu8]

@Oder1001 No, our claims are based in international laws.

[Oder1001]

@8LyJu8 a spokesman for your government recently said they have no intention of restricting UK business in Argentina, I will tell you what I believe don`t you guess you will only get it wrong.

[Oder1001]

@8LyJu8 now your president say`s she tear it up! just like the Argentines did in 82. the complaints are all Argentinian manufactured

[8LyJu8]

@noreplyism Spaniards? Argentina didn't existed in 1833? Can you read about history first?

[8LyJu8]

@121ego Don't worry, lady ;)

[8LyJu8]

@Oder1001 Wrong! There are laws in Argentina about that. We have lands, who want is recognized first as native, second as argentinian. We are quiet happy about that. From a native descendant.

[8LyJu8]

@Oder1001 Well.. actually we could, we have a lot of investiments offers, opposite to what you -apparently- believe. However, it's about Malvinas, not about economy. The same if from there.

[8LyJu8]

@Oder1001 Really? In 1999 Argentina and the UK made a treaty about flights to Malvinas, and there was no complain at all.

[8LyJu8]

@davyjones68 Basically: you are absolutely wrong. I think was your government wich control your knowledge. But I don't believe you won't even try to understand our standpoint. So I see useless explain everything to you, so, I comeback to my life.

[Oder1001]

@8LyJ 1994 Constitutional reform means nothing to the UK!

[Oder1001]

@8LyJu8 20% of all foriegn investment in Argentina is British why don`t you kick them out? the reason you don`t is because those businesses give jobs to people in Argentina
