Oct 12th, 2012 - 02:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0In breach of contract?? What? Argentina never breaches its contracts!!!! LOL
Oct 12th, 2012 - 03:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina has caused Chile lots of problems with their gas supply over the years. You would think Bolivia would look past the territorial dispute with them and start selling Chile gas. I don't see that happening until Evo is gone and they are desperate to sell to someone since Brazil's new fields will be coming on line in the next few years.

Oct 12th, 2012 - 01:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0To be fair to my neighbours it is political incompetence rather than deceit that has caused this problem. The fixed domestic tariff on natural gas has led to the current situation, where Argentina can’t even meet their domestic demand and needs to import gas.
The best solution for Chile is massive investment in hydro and reusable, failing that importing from countries outside South America. Argentina will always fail us and Bolivia will always hate us.

If Methanex can hold on a few more years, and if someone can finance a pipeline from the Falkland Islands to Punta, the problem will be solved; Falklands gas for Chile!!!!!!!
6. You could always invade Bolivia and take the southern contiguous provinces and leave the northern to Evo. I think that would give you the lithium too.
Oct 12th, 2012 - 03:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am sure the Bolivians would be much happier with benevolent Chileno overlords and well managed resources.
@7 Good idea. We don't even need the pipeline. Just ship it over. I am sure the red ensign won't be a problem if the ship is full of gas.
Oct 12th, 2012 - 04:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@8 I would be all for that. Just need Evo to push it a little more and we'll put 'em back in the stone age...err..ok willl drag 'em out of the stone age.
The people up there on the Altiplano don't identify with Chile or Bolivia so it would be easy to make it stick.
TERRORIST ORGANIZATION SPONSORED BY THE PRESIDENT OF ARGENTINA CRISTINA FERNANDEZ DE KIRCHNER
Oct 12th, 2012 - 04:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0VATAYON MILITANTE - The Argentine government under Cristina Fernandez de Kircher and The Argentine National penitentiary service, takes inmates out of jail without judicial permission, to attend and participate in political events of Kirchner. The prisoners are paid an “allowance” of $2700 per month for joining this political group. The creation of this Vatayon militante group which are CONVICTED AND INCARCERATED for everything from murderer to armed robbery is becoming the Kirchner government's militant force of the future. If things get rough for Cristina, these prisoners have nothing to lose for defending the Kirchner movement with violence. They also have access to guns and drugs, and prostitues all courtesy of the Kirchner government. The prisoners who are chosen attend these events, is left up to the to the head of the Argentine National Penitentiary Service, Victor Hortel who is a very close ally of Cristina's government He is a former prisoner himself and has very close ties with prison gangs, and has been known to release prisoners at night to go out to steal and even kill, in exchange for drugs, sex and money. Rewarding criminals and prisoners for political purposes, violating all sorts of rules and laws, is proof of the form of government that Argentina is living with and will only get worse in the months and years ahead, especially if Cristina moved forward with her proposal to change the Argentine constitution to allow for her re-re-election for an unlimited amount of presidential terms.

Chile: This country supports the Argentine claim to the Falkland Islands (but we're not going to actually physically help you because you've cut off the gas, hello FIG, errrr can we buy some gas pleaaaassse)?
Oct 13th, 2012 - 07:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0One thing I must say as cuntina kirchner craves to be the new evita. They do have in common that they both where publicity craving whores.
Oct 18th, 2012 - 02:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And why should we believe this company that its Argentina's fault not their own that they're sacking their workers?
Oct 19th, 2012 - 11:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#7 And people call me a traitor to my country =)
