Disclaimer & comment rulesThis is quite a good idea. Whereas argieland threatens companies all around the world with legal action that could never succeed except in an argie court, Repsol threatens companies with legal action in all the courts of the world except those of criminal argieland.

@1 if argtardia has currency and investments in the USA or Europe they would be able to attach those to the ruling in order to prevent their access to further foreign reserves. This is the case for the Peterson Group, who currently owe Spain £1.9Bil and I'm guessing would like to do business abroad sometimes.

HA!!!!
Apr 24th, 2012 - 02:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Right back at you Argentina!!! Those who live by the sword, die by the sword.
And those that STEAL, shall not profit by it!!!
Nice one Spain
Argentina should fine anyone trading with spain and if they don't pay we can auction off the businesse and use the money to pay for the fine. This is how it's done in America. Let's hope the world is ready for a decade of tit for tat with Argentina, it couldn't be worst then what is currently going on in Europe now.

PH. Good idea. Here's another one for you. Get them to pay the fines in $US.
Apr 24th, 2012 - 04:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Bugger me, I hope CFK is not reading this.
600 is more than enough. Bye bye Repsol, bye bye Essex. About time SA takes their natural ressources back!!!
Apr 24th, 2012 - 04:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@6. Where I come from, if I sell you something, then take it back. It's called stealing.
Apr 24th, 2012 - 05:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@7 If I finance a military dictature and impose puppet leaders to rule your country in order to sell out the countrys natural resources, it may not be called stealing, but it's damn close. Pay up for the gold, silver, copper, oil and all the other natural resources Europe and USA have been stealing for the past 600 years before you call anyone thiefs. Btw, I meant Exxon, not Essex...
Apr 24th, 2012 - 05:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0While your at it, why don't you prosecute the Greeks for sacking Troy, Romans for crucifying christ and the Mongols for committing genocide or is that going to far back.
Apr 24th, 2012 - 06:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@9 As I already tried to tell you, the stealing of ressources merely STARTED 600 years ago, CIA supported military dictatures across SA (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Paraguay) happened 1963-1990, where most of the sellout happened. Read SA history before you spit out your ignorance...
Apr 24th, 2012 - 06:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why is it you can't live on your own resources???
@10 Guzz. I do not have the slightest interest in reading SA history. I quite like my ignorance. What exactly is it you want the rest of the world to do, dress up in rags, rub their faces with wood ash, walk around ringing a bell and begging forgiveness for the sins of the past. We live in the 21st century, try living in it with us. That is my point.
Apr 24th, 2012 - 07:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh and by the way, you might like to adress yor remarks about living on your own resources to the Chinese, because, in the next 50 years and more, they are going to be the biggest buyer of the worlds resources.
@11 Fair enough you are ok with your ignorance, but stop spreading it around as if you know what you are on about...
Apr 24th, 2012 - 09:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Regarding the chinese, at least they PAY for the resources...
you still do not get the point do you. Fuck it. I give up, have it your way.
Apr 24th, 2012 - 09:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I feel you, sometimes I run out of arguments aswell... No worries mate, it can happen to all of us. A word of advice though, in order to avoid such in the future, try embracing the truth...
Apr 24th, 2012 - 10:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Kiss me red,white and blue British ass. You would recognise the truth if you fell over it. Byeee!!!!!
Apr 24th, 2012 - 10:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I would not recognize the truth? And this comes from a (self-pronounced) ignorant?? Time for a reality check, mate... :) Take care!

Apr 25th, 2012 - 03:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you steal from the US and Europe and then dream about trading with India and China instead, it will still all end in tears because as sure eggs are eggs Argentinians will lie, cheat, and steal from anyone.
@Brit Bob
Apr 25th, 2012 - 04:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Argentinians will lie, cheat, and steal from anyone”
Is not the way Britain made her empire?
May be in the future the Sun Never Rise for SA.. sound good doesn't it?
Now what can expropriate from Britain?
Oh! there is nothing left. Bloody 'ell too late.
THe way CFK is running Argentina there is absoloutly no doubt that “the Sun Never Rise” for Argentina.
