    Another fcuk-up by the President with the cow pat on his head.

    I cannot imagine any other company picking this up after this 'little outburst' by Bolivia.

    Look and learn potential investors. Bipolar leftist scumbags screwing their countries chances of ever reaching developed status. A sad tale but a fact in Latin America.
    Stay away from these places or risk getting scammed.

    honestly... I am at a level, whereas I do not feel any pity for these kind of investors going to Venezuela, Bolivia, etc... I mean, if you are so stupid, you don't even deserve anything else then this.

    You are correct. Why is SA so undeveloped when they started the race on the same playing ground and rules as NA.

    Good move. And this time on a firm from another developing country; maybe they thought that would save them from the consequences of non-investment, but they were wrong =)

    Maybe India, being a nuclear power, can claim ignorance as a developing nation and wax the floor in tribal bolivia, the most useless greasy spot on the globe run by a prejudiced socialist that hates people who have worked hard and achieve success.

    BK, Evo broke the contract by not supplying the necessary gas for the project, only 25% of the contract amount.

    The point is that Bolivia can't manage to supply all the gas they've sold to Argentina, Brasil, etc.
