Rotted, Not only you post a home made article, you don't read it!
Sep 20th, 2011 - 03:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0“The obvious answer would be Rockhopper who desperately need the reinforcement in order to negotiate with the money men. But I’m not so sure. The Foreign Office have a history of viewing the Falklands as a nuisance; an irritation to better relations with South America and Brazil in particular. It is very well-known that the present British Government wish to dramatically improve their relationship with South America’s big performer. Even in the face of Brazil’s support for Argentina”

Sep 20th, 2011 - 01:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Interesting that even Argentinians recognise Brazil as the pre-eminent nation in South America.
Does Argentina have any significance at all?

Argentina is a freeloader Nation, not worthy of respect.
#4 & 6: Brazil supports our South Atlantic Islands' claims, not only by word but by action, as some might have recently noted. This shows some love. Chileans are instead traitors to the South American cause which, one day, will 'do' them. It is only a question of time...
Sep 21st, 2011 - 01:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argy boy please don't lick Brazils boots with such relish.
Sep 21st, 2011 - 02:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sooner or later they will stab you in the back and f--k you up the arse.
You know it and we know it.
Its only a question of time.
Don't be an Evita - shut your mouth and get up off your knees.

Brazil will do our b9idding, she is in our hands, we control her and you colonials can do nothing, nothing at all about it!
Sep 22nd, 2011 - 12:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0We have power to blockade your islands and starve all people!
The blockade is a seriou issue:

Few oil + blockade = horrified investors ;)
