The funniest thing is, Argentinians think it's great, and corruption is awesome.
I have found that when the K gov'ts put out advertising it means they are in serious trouble and the advertisement is exactly opposite of whatever is really going on.

Also I'm sure that most of the RGs know that the gas pipelines from Bolivia don't go to BA where they need the gas. The NW provinces will have gas but there is little population and very few factories so I don't know who they think they are fooling.
I just had to re-read this. Right... so let me get this straight.
Apr 30th, 2012 - 12:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0a) Argentina steals something of great value from Repsol, going against the constitution, basic contract law and bilateral agreements.
b) Argentina then demands that Repsol continue to fulfil a contract that was made prior to the theft, because of contract law.
Urm.. does anyone else see the parallels-of-illogic between this and Falklands negotiations?
a) Argentina invades the Falklands, going against international law and the UN.
b) Argentina then demands that the UK negotiate sovereignty, stating UN resolutions from before the invasion.
Seriously, are they collectively this retarded?
5. yes

Apr 30th, 2012 - 01:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@7 So, through your socialist eyes, it's quite acceptable for a thief to get upset that the victim deliver upon something they agreed to before the crime took place, quoting the law?
Apr 30th, 2012 - 02:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's like a man going on a date with a lady, the lady saying she is ready to sleep with him. Then the man rapes the lady, turning her into a victim of a crime. Afterwards he goes to her house expecting her to be all nice and then demanding that she sleeps with him like she promised before the rape.
Are you really that naïve? Just ask yourself, what would Billy Bragg do?

No one would understand it the time but years later it would held up at a shinning example that the road to enlightenment is truely paved by excess.
He would probably get a posthumourous Knighthood out of it as well......... why do you ask?
@9. No reason.

They talk the talk about running a gas/oil company, time to see if they can walk the walk.
Apr 30th, 2012 - 06:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The K group know all about economics of the gas systems. In the past they bought gas from Bolivia in order to resend it to Chile to make themselves appear helpful; then they charged Chile a lower rate than they paid Bolivia. Sounds like good economics to me.

Argentina will receive an increase of Chinese exports with highly preferential rates in violation of Mercosur agreements, but will arrive anyway as bilateral “barter agreements” which will economically harm Uruguay and infuriate Brazil.
Maximo will have no problem financing his upcoming presidential campaign and his rallies will be popular with free flowing Quilmes and unlimited choripan.
Residents of Buenos Aires will start to be seen wearing pins with pictures of Nestor, Cristina, and eventually Maximo, on their lapels...
“...and they all lived very happy forever...”
I have seen a lot of claims of 5% increase in production of oil and gas since the lunatics started running the madhouse but NO actual evidence that things are getting better for the populace.
