Did someone do the maths and realise they were shooting themselves in the foot?
Feb 20th, 2010 - 11:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0The fact is that the decree will force vessels to request cross permits from Argentine authorities and we are also currently talking with friendly countries to avoid those very vessels from taking supplies in their coasts”.

But, its' never too late. Now lets' focus on ending the Lan flights. For every flight to the Malvinas, they give up 20 to Argentina ( and to any Mercosur country hopefully).

Feb 21st, 2010 - 11:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The UK is going to ignore Argentinian permits and protestations, Argentina just looks weak and petulant at the moment. She has made her grand proclamations and decrees and still the UK ships sail from her ports and oilrigs drill in the southern ocean unchallenged. The claim of the UK is fully legitimised by the free will of the indigenous British population of the Falklands Islands, who have been there since Britain recovered the Islands from a tiny number of Argentinian pirates (who attacked US shipping and were removed by the USA) in 1833. The Falklands were British before the Argentine existed, the only claim Argentina has is that some Argentinian pirates once lived there for a few years. The UN will make no resolutions against the UK as their claim is fully legal. The UK therefore can and will completely ignore any Argentinian rhetoric. Argentina made a huge mistake in voting an image-conscious moron as president. She is out for herself - no Eva Peron this one, she is corrupt, has bankrupted Argentina, even destroyed and ransacked the Bank of Argentina. She has no interest in the Falklands, she want to stir the population with thoughts of war for popularity and to steal oil money, nothing else. The only way Argentina will ever see any oil money or hold the Falklands will be by total war. In the short term, she will win-back the Falklands as she has far more power in the southern ocean than Britain. Britain will then, aided by its allies Chile, Uruguay (by logistics and lucrative support of the oil trade infrastructure that Argentina could once have had), the USA (albeit by supply of weapons rather than troops, like the last war), return and reclaim the Islands. No British politician, regardless of their party would dare let the islands go with war. Not a single person in Britian would allow British citizens to be subjugated by invading Argentinians, they would rather die. Forget diplomacy, the only way for Argentina to succeed long enough for the moron bitch to be re-elected is war. (P.S. Chavez the Armendinejad of the Americas, please do me a favour! Argentina should be congratulated on her new best friend! LOL!!)
