Argenweener should take a huge piece of humble pie and ask the Falklands Governments advice regarding resource mangement which should be met promptly with a stiff middle finger.... but hey, Its All Good!!!!

I'd like to congratulate the Arg Govt for their principled stance on climate change. Choosing not to exploit the hydrocarbons in Vaca Muerta should be applauded. ;)

We don't care what IEA say! They are nothing but a crooked friend of the West. Friend of Cameron and Blair and they have an agenda to keep us South Americans repressed. Well we've had enough and now the new world order is taking over and UK, USA, and Europe will take a back seat in their recessions while we become even more mighty under our glorious leader Cristina.

Down with Europe! Down with USA! And especially down with UK. Pirates!!

The slow sinking of the Titanic (er... S.S. Argentina) is just tarting to cause a slight list to the ships deck and someone's glasss of champagne just fell over. No one yet is putting on their life jackets, but some passengers are no longer smiling...

#6 Well thats the parody version, but the truth is the IAE IS part of a neoliberal false consensus that Argentina, rightly in my view, defies, no?

It is interesting to note that Argentina came under a barrage of criticism the other week from the World Trade Organisation after the US, EU, Japan and TEN other countries accused it of tying imports up in red tape after CFK & Co imposed a new system to pre-approve, or reject every purchase from abroad.

As the headline suggests, who's going to want to invest in Argentina?

As Obi Wan Kenobi might say, from a certain point of view....But then so is mine, and more so (from a better point of view)
