This was declared by the governor of Neuquen a few years ago, when it became public knowledge that Argentina was buying gas from Bolivia. The governor then said that Neuguen had all the gas Argentina needed and that buying from Bolivia was not needed. Perhaps now CFK can “officially” announce it as credit for her administration.

Totally offtopic but i was wondering. if argentina was to say that if the UK withdrew it's forces then Argentina would renounce it's claim, would you guys agree to it?
Just tryng to get a sence of you guys oppinions.
Interesting question, If the withdrawl of the armed forces was the only stipulation then I would say yes, why not, the big stumbling block however would be would Argentinians honour their part of the deal. Do we trust the Argies? no way.
Dec 05th, 2010 - 11:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0Zethee, a good question,but I think that given the Arg track record of recent years the Islands would need a solid International Guarantee form a group of serious nations that they would use force if required to deal with any possible change back by a future Arg Govt.
Dec 05th, 2010 - 08:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The ONLY reason that British Forces are here in the S.Atlantic is to defend and protect the Islands against a known Agressor.
Currently military aggression is not that direct-but not far away and does still appear in harrassing civilian ships. But Economic agression is very clear.
It would take time and need to be a gradual policy by both sides- a gradual wind-down from the current “stand-off” Spread over 5 years or so at least.
