During a speech in Paris, Cristina Fernandez compared the referendum in the Black Sea peninsula next to Russia to last year's referendum by Falkland Islanders to remain a British territory. The southern Atlantic islands are known in Spanish as the "Islas Malvinas" and Argentina insists that Britain usurped them 180 years ago.
"Something that is fundamental for preserving world peace, for respecting international law, is to not have a double standard when it is time to make decisions. You can't be in favor of territorial integrity in Crimea and against territorial integrity with the Malvinas in Argentina," Fernandez said.
Seriously, it's only a double standard if you mistakenly think Argentina is the Ukraine in their drama.
