    I can't imagine Argentina allowing environmental inspections of the old paper plants along the Uruguay River. They will be found to be polluting the river and forced to close. I guess that is why Uruguay is pressing for this so they can increase the production for their own plants.

    I am happy with the Gualeguaychu community in Argentina who have contributed their time and efforts tremendously for this cause, I invite them also to retake the bridge and stop all travel into and out of Uruguays if the terms of the agreement are not met, I also implore of them to stay involved and to ask for Gualeguaychu comunity to have oversight of the plant and to monitor all chemichal use and dispossal, if this last two terms can't be met, I implore them to re-take the bridge, I will like to give my gratitude to everyone who has contributed to find a solution to this problem. Thanks again Gualeguaychu.

    Two wrongs do not make a right, and nobody should condone breaking the law (or the Argentina constitution, for that matter).

    you are right nobody listens to UN, when UN says anything is like nobody said anything I agree, this is why Argentina is better off getting nukes from Iran or N Korea, before we get blamed for WMD we better get our hand on some nukes while the threat of occupation is still in the air to support our argument.

    I was not asking, I was telling and thanks the support #13 as long as it makes a difference to Argentina's national security and territorial integrity is all we care about.

    It doesn't. To be honest they're just a very expensive waste of money. If a nation was to launch a nuke it would likely end in total world destruction with all states launching their nukes. So it's a one trick pony with the only prize being everyone in the world dying.

    If Argentina really wants to sort it's “territorial integrity ” You would do well sorting our your army navy and airforce.

    I think we should adopt gassy's method for making a point. So, leaving out all the likely sites that a government would plant a nuke in BA, where should a private operation put theirs?

    #15 all we need are nukes and to nationalize all UK assets in Argentina, we will not need to fire a shot if we take thei assets, or if we target pirat platform used to conduct an oil theft in Argentine waters.

    Be careful, gassy. Those deep sea squid you like to mate with may be in Argentine waters.

    Or perhaps gassy is all het up because the squid don't fancy him?
