Ecuador ready for dialogue with UK, but with eyes on Friday’s OAS meeting
The Ecuadorean government reiterated on Monday that dialogue with UK on the Julian Assange case will continue once London officially “withdraws” the original message with threats. Quito also is hopeful that the coming OAS extraordinary meeting will ratify full support for Ecuador as has happened with other regional organizations. Read full article

Disclaimer & comment rulesEcuador will change it's pompous posturing as soon as the European Union countries and the US announce that they will suspend all imports of flowers, bananas and cultivated shrimp until Assange is handed over to the British authorities for extradition to Sweden.

Poor Correa. Stuck with Assange, and now has embarrassed the world by claiming he supports rapists and that rape isn't illegal in his country. He did say the whole of south America, but I don't believe he has the right to speak for the rest of the countries in that region.
If the rest of South America had any common sense they would just claim neutrality and leave Correa to dig his own political demise.
However, Assange is safely locked in the Ecuadorian embassy. Eventually they'll get fed up of him and boot him out of the door.
It's just a matter of time.

Aug 21st, 2012 - 07:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0that will probably happen when he tries to pin a tail on the ambassador's secretary....
I don't believe we should bother doing anything about this. If Assange wants to stay in the embassy then let him. This is a legal matter that they are trying to turn into a diplomatic matter. We should simply restate the position that if and when he comes out he will be arrested. What is the point of arguing with Ecuador over him? There are far more important things going on in the world than Assange.

Frank, ignore the throbbing tool. He is like a kid in a toyshop, a dog with a bone or a fly with a pile of shit. Him and the rest of the Malvinistas will be feeding off this for months.
You can't trust a latino it seems. Let's have a private meeting to hammer out all of the options says we.....
Okay says Ecuador. Lets.....
Here are our options. Says we......
Ecuadorians say okay we will have a look at them....
But not to study the feasibility of any of the confidential proposals but to mine for political ammunition to score points from.
Clearly we cannot trust them to act diplomatically. They understand simple childlike politics but diplomacy seems to be beyond them. As is trust. We need to note this down and until they learn to behave like diplomats and grown ups we must stop talking to them completely at the diplomatic level. They don't understand the meaning of the word and they obviously think that rape is a minor charge. Nice.
Furthermore, whatever they 'demand', we tell then to spin on it.
Julian Assange will either spend the rest of his life in the Ecuadorian embassy or he will be arrested on the way to the airport. The choice is now with him and Ecuador. I am sure they are perfect for each other.
@8 Superb summation really well put!

Aug 21st, 2012 - 10:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0It is true Assange accused the police of attempted entry to the couple of rooms that make up the Ecuador Embassy. What he actually heard was the police changing shifts and policing the common areas of the building. But then again he is prone to misinterpretation. He thinks no means yes.

I guess the Ecuador diplomats will want to try to find a way out of this without looking impotent. They can't get Assange out of the embassy and I doubt they want him there.

Maybe this pair can find solace with JA and asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy with high profile support from George Galloway for this example of 'bad sexual etiquette'. I am sure that Ecuador will happily accommodate them, after all it isn't called rape in Ecuador. Just happy people having a good time, why should we persecute them?

I think before all this is finished, Ecuador will rue the day they got involved. They saw an oppurtunity to have a dig at the UK and US and it will backfire on them spectacularly. I'm very intersted to hear what happens on Friday, will we see union or the more sensible amongst them begin to say to Ecuador “this one is yours mate”. I note from the last meeting the culmination was a request for dialogue - big whoop! I bet that got the foreign office worried.

Here's my conspiracy theory. Feel free to spread it as far and as wide as you wish.
Aug 21st, 2012 - 09:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0”Assange is actually in the pay of the US government. His job is it undermine the credibility of wikileaks, whilst at the same time taking down the government of Ecuador. If he's successful there he'll move on to Venezula and then the rest of South America.
He has (allegedly) been paid a 6 figure sum to do this and been granted immunity from prosecution.”
I mean it must be true, because sooner or later Assange will end up in Sweden. The US will amaze the world by not extraditing him, which will undermine his credibility, and by proxy, wikileaks credibility. It will also undermine the government of Correa, and the rest of the South American countries who are stupid enough to jump on the band wagon.
A win-win situation for Uncle Sam. :0D

You are talking about comparing an engine -the RB211 - designed in 1972, with which the Russians have now caught up !
The Aviadvigatel may be an excellent engine but airlines like to stick with proven companies with a good track record of reliability and service. Also, you cannot just lift an engine and fit it to an aircraft.
There has to be work done on the cowling, fuel control systems and ancillary items for repair and maintenance which add greatly to the initial cost.
Just for your info., RR supply 500 airlines, 4000 corporate cos. 160 armed forces, 4,000 marine customers and 70 navies with their products. Some one must think they make a good product.
I am sure that the whole of LA would remove all UK parts and components from all aircraft, ships, power stations etc. for solidarity
with Ecuador.
I'm sure that Chile would be more than happy to agree to this and mothball its fleet.
Anyway, this discussion is pointless. We are just nipping away at each other to pass the time. Whatever our pronouncements are, they will have absolutely no effect on what our respective political leaders decide.
