May 11th, 2012 - 10:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Does the UK care that Chile supports Argentina? No, because it's not as pathetic as Argentina.
The UK puts a higher price on a relationship with a country like Chile, high enough to not spoil it over a petty squabble.
Irrelevant as ever Marcos, completely unrelated to the subject in hand.

Go back to the story. Are we or are we not? friends with Chile?
May 12th, 2012 - 01:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0If we are? What would we be prepared to do if they were threatened. Probably our strongest friend in South America, aided us in 1982. Just a question, what would we in the UK do for Chile, if the circimstances were reversed. I keep saying, friendship is a two way street. I would really be interested to know and I suspect that many of our Chilean supporets on these posts would like to know also. This question relates to today and not the era of Pinochio.
@15 No ambiguity there :-)
May 12th, 2012 - 02:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0It amuses me when I hear the same - “make no mistake: for as long as the people of the Falkland islands wish to remain British, that is exactly how it will be.” - type answer from Dave and Mr Hague every time someone asks “the question”.
A bit like patting the tiresome child that is Argentina on the head and telling it to go and play somewhere else; hoping that sooner rather than later, said child will get bored and go throw her toys at someone else. Chile perhaps? Or those pesky Patagonians?
@18 It´s a good question. But at this time Chile is doing fine having a strong economical growing, low unemployment and strongly engaged in the Pacific community wich includes Asia, USA, Canada, Peru, Mexico, Colombia and Australia countries that are sharing a common economical point of view to and concentrate most of the income in the world so maybe the UK can play a big role boosting the partnership with chilean goods in Europe.

brits prick! LAw breaking country...
You are SOO stupid yogui!
UN just want us to talk, there are no current resolutions by law to force us to, Mercosur and OAS have their opinions, but also aren't legally binding, the USA is neutral on this subject and “hope for a peaceful resolution” but do not take sides so is also irrelevant. The nobel prize winners intent was to get a peaceful resolution to the issue and was in no way taking sides either. The majority of people that Argentina claims are on their side in this e.g. g77 etc etc are just calling for a peaceful resolution, not for the handover of the islands, and at the moment the only aggression is coming from Argentina, so if anything the responsibility is on Argentina, not the UK.

Haig gave a warm welcome to Moreno and Chileans appreciate this gesture.
May 12th, 2012 - 11:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0Firstly I must point out that it has been Chilean Gov. policy since 1962 to recognise the Argentine Falklands claim. This is purely political in nature and in no way suggests that if it came to blows between the UK and Argentina we would get physically involved on Argentinas side.
The Argentines are a very important source of cheap imports, mostly subsidized in one way or another to the chilean economy. Roughly 10% if total imports. We have to safeguard this valuable supply or be prepared to buy elsewhere and pay substantially more, so therefore the Chilean government occasionally talks the talk, but be assured we would NOT walk the walk. The treason of December 1978 is still very fresh in everyones minds
Our economy sucks in an ever increasing amount of imports as it gallops along so we have to be diplomatic and say the “nice” things.

May 12th, 2012 - 04:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentinia's claims to the Falkland Islands are completely spurious. Any notion that Chile actually supports Argentina's claims are made for 'polite conversation' and for Argentine domestic consumption only.
The government of Chile knows full well how to deal with Argentina especially when the Argentinian government refused to abide to a binding international award giving the Beagle Islands to Chile and Argentinia set up a maritime boundary consistent with their claims.
Hague and Moreno were talking trade, cooperation and continued friendship between two modern democracies.

Since Britain has the historic, legal and moral right in the Falklands dispute, we don't constantly need to run around, like the argentine government, begging people to support them.
In the last few weeks the Argentine government has done a lot of begging, but no one is listening.
Oh, regarding the Chinese, thy pulled out of the YPF deal, as they know a bad investment when they see it. That's why the Argentine vice-president was in the US begging for foreign investment.
How embarrassed must the people of Argentina be to see their government going cap in hand to others. Is that why you're so angry Guzz my ersatz Uruguayan? Is that why you don't admit to being Argentinian, embarrassment?
Don't blame you really.
The Falkland Islands will remain under the control of the Falkland Island Government, and free of fascist Argentine dictatorship, until the end of time.

@56 You're an idiot. You posted an article where 'CELAC' contradict themselves by supporting Argentinas economic, travel, commercial and financial blockade and yet it says ““We demand an end to the economic, commercial and financial blockade” imposed on Havana since 1962 because it is contrary to International law and to abidance of successive UN General Assembly resolutions.”

May 12th, 2012 - 11:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Technically, its not a blockade against Cuba nor Falklands because neither US or Argentina prevent other countries trading with Cuba or Falklands. However as an embargo, at least the US does sell lots of foodstuffs to Cuban purchasers, whereas Argentina apparently doesn't even allow food to be sold to the Falklands.

It really has to be a cultural thing. In Argentina, this addition has to be considered a subtle play. Keep saying something, it will eventually be regarded as true. This is a little trick that they learned from their nazi forefathers not realising that nobody else is falling for it. Elsewhere there is a saying. “The lady doth protest too much” and in this case the rabid, moronic Malvinista goes on and on and on and...............................

Good news though, seems like Germany is following France's footsteps...
If I read it correctly, she is still in power, at least until 2013,
May 13th, 2012 - 11:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But the Germans are very pissed of with her,
Still it does prove the UK is doing the right thing,
And he has 3 years to make us grow,
Still the fun will be between Holland and merkle, when they meat,
And the sparks may yet fly .

May 13th, 2012 - 11:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There is no financial crisis, and it doesn't matter who takes the reigns, the production is moving to China, and China aren't spending enough cash in Europe. Add that to the fact that the Euro bankers saw it coming and chose to fill their own pockets with gold and you have your recession.
My heart is with the european people, they are as much victims as we were under our “crisis”, times when they rip the middle classes of everything they got, so the wheel can start all over again...
The difference now is that the Chinese are sitting on all the money, buying debts like crazy, and when Europe wakes up from her sleep, she will find that the party moved on...
