Uruguayan president Jose Mujica marked distance from Argentina’s Cristina Kirchner and said that denying clearance to a Falkland Islands bound British destroyer to call in Montevideo was based on previous decisions on the issue and “not in a defence of interests against the UK”, reports the local daily Ultima Noticias.

What a Fecking clownLOL
Whoops! CFK had an opportunity to make a mature response that should her ability to be an astute leader and she has blown it. Such a response makes her sound like Chavez, Mugabe or Ahmadinejad hence the president of Uruguay has distanced himself for those comments.
Sep 24th, 2010 - 06:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0CFK has embarrassed herself and her proud country. Or perhaps she is trying to get more support for the 2011 election?

Unless, of course, Great Britain chooses so…………….

Hi Pepe, I want to thank you in the name of all Argentines for your immense gesture on not allowing an English naval vessel
Sep 24th, 2010 - 06:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0How statesman like LOL
Getting Brazil on board with this will cost Argentina a lot ... nothing is for free in this word Think, and I suspect you're reading too much into this. After all 2 ships refused access in 3 years ...... only 2 British ships called at Uruguay in 3 years ??
Sep 24th, 2010 - 06:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0Come on Think, you are a bright guy bur have just let yourself down!
Sep 24th, 2010 - 08:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0Brazil - UK defense agreement gives access to BAE kit at a cut down price! What could Argentina offer? Nothing. Also Brazil sees future trade with the EU as more profitable than with Argentina. They will need support for certain member states and Spain and Portugal are in no economic shape to increase consumption! They will also need to hedge againt the Euro and will see an EU member who is not in the Eurozone as a very attractive option. More Brazilian companies will want easier access to the LSE!
Brazil hold the Aces over Argentina and you know it! Why didn't Argentina verbally castigate Brazil as a traitor when they allow RN and vessels connected with the oil industry to call into port?
Sorry think in terms of leverage Argentina knows it's place!
Seems the Botox Queen likes to display her immaturity and paranoia to the world. With this she wants a seat on the Security Council? Argentina is displayed to the world as a petulant kiddie.
Sep 24th, 2010 - 08:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0Now let us wonder. Will Uruguay get what it wants from Argentina? Will Argentina realise that it isn't actually calling the shots? If the Argentines get uppity, to whom will Uruguay turn for assistance?
Next strop Brazil?
Sep 24th, 2010 - 08:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0A Freudian slip methinks and an accurate summary of Argentine foreign policy. Like the protectionist measures against Brazilian products.
(7) Come on Mr. Beef…………….
Sep 24th, 2010 - 09:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0Do you mean that BAE will not trade weapons to Brazil because of the ”quite insignificant issue” of “Denial of Services” to all “Malvinas bound business” ???
Do you mean that the EU will stop economical links with Brazil because of the ”quite insignificant issue” of “Denial of Services” to all “Malvinas bound business” ???
Do you mean that the LSE will close its doors to Brazilian capital because of the ”quite insignificant issue” of “Denial of Services” to all “Malvinas bound business” ???
I ”Think” it is you, ”letting yourself down”, blended by your personal economic involvement in the British South-Atlantic oil adventure……
PS:
A little correction:
Brazil does not ”hold Aces over Argentina”……. Argentina is one of the many Aces in Brazil’s hand (and vice-versa :-)
And about your question:
”Why didn't Argentina verbally castigate Brazil as a traitor when they allow RN and vessels connected with the oil industry to call into port?”
I have noticed thay you like to spend considerable amounts of your time in here reading and debating the ”quality” material posted by “Avargas”, “Jorge” and similar…………
Sorry but…………….As much as you would like it, I have to tell you that they are not the official representatives of Argentina :-)

Problem is Think is that the FI are subject to a number of EU trade regulations! So any trade agreement would be default include the Islands and such an agreement would need the tacit nod of the UK. This would compel states under the agreement to engage in free trade without exclusion.

Mujica has even realised the danger and withdrawn a bit from her arms! Britain after oil? As you know very very well any oil(if any) is Islands oil in the first place and secondly Britain has stacks of proven reserves offshore herself!
Fish?- actually there are no UK vessels down here - they are mostly Spanish and from the Far East. Not many left on your side eaither as you overfished with little environmental control.
So what are you saying Think?
Sep 24th, 2010 - 10:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0That the article is only being reported in one newspaper and therefore it cannot be true? (although according to Google the original 'news' was only reported in 3 newspapers worldwide - Merco press, Momento 24 & the local Portsmouth newspaper).
Overall it rather seems as if the whole story is, in fact, no story at all!
And I'll make my earlier point again if I may, have only 2 British ships asked to moor up in Urugauyan waters in the last 3 years ?

Sep 24th, 2010 - 01:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina's sole success is successfully planting the story this is the result of the British Government, we know it isn't its down to the FIG moving foward under agreements reached in 1997 that Argentina UNILATERALLY withdrew from and so stem from the UNILATERAL actions of Argentina. Since as usual you have to base everything on being economical with the truth., its incumbent to point out that its all down to UNILATERAL actions by Argentina.
As usual there will be lots of hot air and nothing much will change.
What own goal?

And you think that'll make any difference? That's not realism Think. That's just fantasy :-)

The further info this morning has indicated flow rates that will be in excess of 4000 bpd. Sea Lion will be cheap to extract which further supports commerciality. All we need now is the updated volume data - significant upside potential!
Please explain why this is an own goal? Because it is a hell of a profitable one.

Sep 24th, 2010 - 03:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Think, you completely discredit yourself when you say that Britain unilaterally decided and took action to exploit the resources of the Falklands. You are basing this on what your government is preaching, which is incorrect. I have been to the Mineral Resources Department on Ross Road, Stanley, I have worked with people who are employed by Mineral Resources, they are the ones who issue the oil licences in the Falklands. I know this for a fact. When you say that Britain decided unilaterally etc, you are wrong. I base my knowledge on what I have seen and my working experience, you base yours own your corrupt government, who are just speculating, they do not know what they say as fact. And you will continue to discredit yourself if you keep claiming that Britain took unilateral action. Please stick to the facts.

Perhaps if MoFi instead of talking nonsense read his constitution (written in London & unvoted by kelpers) he will realize that the head of FIG is the unvoted british colonial governor, who has crucial veto & political power.
Sep 24th, 2010 - 07:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So if you read carefully your contitution (books don´t bite) you will find that Mr.Think is right, FIG is only a mask to hide the british colonialist power over a foreign southamerican territory, using kelpers as an excuse to sustain such presence in an alien region 14k miles away from home.

It isn't right, as of 2010 we have 15 frigates and 6 destroyers and 3 aircraft carriers, so I don't know where the Sun is getting it's information from. also if you read the article it says “The drastic cuts are being CONSIDERED”.
Sep 24th, 2010 - 08:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But to be honest it is just speculation to make us (the British public) to try and stop these cuts, by voicing our concerns. Or it is just making us ready for cuts by making them seem worse than they actually are.

Uruguay y Argentina pueblos hermanos siempre.
Sep 25th, 2010 - 01:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0What matters is that this article Uruguay is sympathize with the Argentine claim over the islands, and do not let an English military ship use its ports. What is the diferncias if they were previous decisions?, The ship will not dock or dock in the future. Uruguay and Argentina always fraternal peoples.
But do they sympathise?
Sep 25th, 2010 - 04:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Or could it be:
a) they want a bargaining chip in future negotiations with Argentina over the outstanding issues between the two countries; or
b) they are under pressure by their bigger and bullying neighbour ?
The latter has some creedence because of the reported apology and the 'explanation' to the British Embassy.
@63 I don't see anything in the article to suggest that Uruguay sympathises with Argentina on the matter of the Falkland Islands. Rather the contrary actually.
Sep 25th, 2010 - 12:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I coincide with 63 Ant: as the world you interioriza of the conflicts of Malvinas is very Ovio that the governments come with a lot of pleasure the I claim of the sovereignty of Argentina, today's of Uruguay solidarity and of Brazil in the making and everybody later, leave with clarity that the I claim it is very fair. It is evident that they attend the Argentina historical, geographical and economic arguments. A colony maintained to the force for more than 14.000 kilometers with a transplanted population is more than evident, and it doesn't resist the smallest analysis.

No. Trying isn't good enough, if it isn't recognisable English then report it to the Editor for removal, since all posts have to be in English.
Sep 26th, 2010 - 02:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0all that really matters to Argentina is. When the shit hits the fan] who will back them against the British forces. out of approx 199 countries in the world i doubt if less that 5 would back her in voicing their opinion.
Sep 26th, 2010 - 07:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But less that one would back her with military help.
so the result stands, the islands will remain British until the Falklanders decide otherwise, and as for Argentina, there is NOTHING they can do about it, except shout scream and CRY, oh dear what an embarrassment to them lolol
Whilst I regret Uruguay's decision not to allow the Royal Naval vessel to enter port, I do respect their explanation and feel their determination not to be bullied or drawn into this dispute by Argentina shows great maturity. Likewise I trust the Argentinian people understand that the British people are determined to stand by the Islanders for as long as they choose to remain free, democratic and independent.

Think, I am not in favor of censorship or against free press, we suffered that for a number of years. What I am against is special interest groups that use fake newspaper to spread their lies Early this afternoon in another add, now comments are not allowed, I was writing in my poor english, by force, about the strange location of this news agency. No insults or any bad language was used, at the same time the editor was removing all my comments and Ocampo comments also, Mr Zhetee was a witness of this action. So is ok censorship by MercoPress when we raise some legitimate questions?
Sep 30th, 2010 - 08:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You did not raise legitimate questions, you were threatening to bring in a bunch of Argentines to flood the site. I don't blame Mercopress for one second for deleting your posts.
Sep 30th, 2010 - 08:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0At the end of the day, its their site, their rules. You either respect that or go elsewhere. True to type you claim censorship, when what you were trying to do was censor the site for neutral reporting instead of favouring Argentina.

Sep 30th, 2010 - 09:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don’t know what happened this afternoon, but by reading comment (81) I know what didn’t happen…,..
Mr JustinKuntz is so warped that if he said good morning to me I would go to bed, being sure that it is late in the evening…..:-)
But…. I can recycle four of his words: “ Their site, their rules”.
Don’t expect any kind of of fairness , neutrality or ”old journalistic morality” in here…….
Ah yes Think. always the ad hominem attack, you can really on Think for that. Spiteful, vindictive, liar, fraud, thats our Think. Scared of anyone who can expose him for being a liar and fraud, he has to resort to smears an innuendo.
Sep 30th, 2010 - 09:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sad, lonely, scared little man and apparently by his own admission a pillock.
Mercopress were more than fair to you, you're still spiteful, vindictive, a liar and a fraud in return.
83 Think , Thank you for you response. “Don’t expect any kind of of fairness , neutrality or ”old journalistic morality” in here…….” I realize that. The new and improved...
Sep 30th, 2010 - 09:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Justin Kuntz? Who the hell are you?Ahhhhh yes the grandson of a Basque refugee(Guernica), you live in far away and boring Glasgow, drinks heavily and claim that he served in the British navy and he gets his rear end kicked in Wikipedia all the time.

Hi stickie

Sep 30th, 2010 - 10:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is a malign, arrogant, macho-type lie because it propounds a
policy of confrontation that, if implemented, would be dreadfully
costly to Argentina herself, and would never succeed in recovering
what was lost as far back as 1833, and which the war of 1982 made
irrecoverable.

Sep 30th, 2010 - 10:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well, well well. Interesting. Very interesting.
I seem to be worrying people so much, they're rehearsing their arguments off site before taking me on.
But off in their intelligence gathering, as I didn't serve in the RN. Creepy isn't it, that they're so worried they're now stalking me on the Internet.
Who started the stalking? Ah yes that would Think, who has done his level best with smear and innuendo to avoid engaging with, and I quote, “logical, intelligent, well rounded, sensible arguments”.
Mmmmmm.
Apologies to the editors of Mercopress for attracting these nutters to your website.
This idiot thinks that he is the last king of Scotland hahaha
