Dec 14th, 2009 - 09:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0It's not blackmail neither threat but defending your sovereignty. Chile recognises Argentine sovereingty over the islands and any operation in the area necessarily requires Argentine authorization as the sovereign State. It's as simple as that.

It never was and never will. Is that so hard to accept? The Islanders have the right to do business with who they want and when. It's very simple.
