When Argentina still has not recovered from the impounding of the Navy’s flagship, ARA Libertad, retained in Ghana, another piece of bad news was confirmed in Pretoria on Friday when South African Foreign minister admitted that a second navy vessel, ARA Espora, docked in Simonstown was exposed to a similar fate.

    If the Libertad goes, the same arguments will prevail for the Exposeda.

    ”ARA Espora is the lead ship of the (German) MEKO 140A16 Espora class ”

    I´m convinced that ck couldn´t pay the service charges for the boat so it run as long as possible without professional maintenance.

    It is time that the cocky arrogance of Argentina as represented by la Cretina and Timerman be thwarted by perfectly legal valid reasons. They should stop their whining and accept that most of their problems are of their own making.

    The irony of this sentence amuses me.

    “The vulture fund is responsible for this. It is looking to embarrass Argentina and force us into negotiations with them which we are not going to do,” he sadded (sic).

    So, a strategy of embarrassing sovereign states into negotiations against their national interest doesn't work. He should get his Special Assistants to reflect on that epiphany at the next Foreign Ministry away day and see if there may be an alternative that at least stands a chance of working when Argentina wants something.

    Clarin have reported that the MEKO has been held in SA for a few days now.

    AG just cannot manage anything in a grown up manner, preferring to whine and bleat at every turn.

    Whether they want to negotiate with the laughingly called vulture funds is not in issue. They WILL have to come to some determination otherwise these really excruciatingly embarrassing actions are going to increase in frequency.

    Oh joy!

    Did you not get that the meeting had been arranged for some other reason (see par.3)?

    BTW the SA minister looks lovely in her satin silk dress and not a plastic product in sight. Oh, sorry, Timidman is in shot so there’s a plasticised prick for a start.

    The embarrassment is the ship can't get across the ocean without breaking down. Don't the Argentines service their own ships? What kind of military is that? I suppose the spare parts for the navy are imported and they can't get them because of CFK's ban on imports. Too bad the ship can't move under it's own power otherwise it could just sail out of port..(it does have guns.)

    There is a law stating we should do to others as we wish they done to us, maybe when chevron cleans up the pollution we will start paying up, until then I guess we will all end up in court with many more polluters to soon follow.
    “Ecuador has asked Argentina to seize up to $19.2bn of assets from Chevron in the latest twist in a long-running lawsuit over pollution in the Amazon rainforest.

    The oil giant will also have its bank accounts in Argentina seized and gas sales frozen, a judge has ruled.

    The 2011 ruling, one of the biggest of its kind in history, stated that 30,000 residents of Ecuador's Lago Agrio region had been harmed by the operations of Texaco, which Chevron bought in 2001.”

    At the rate Argentines ships are bieng held it won't be to long before CFK 's lot will loose their Country. Someone is bound to find a way to do it to recover past debt. Maybe the few remaining survivers of the indigenous people will make a move to take it all back. Either way it is hugely embarrising for the Kichrner regime.

    So glad our little place is British and debt free and have a real democracy that allows us to live and work along side others without fear of debt holding.

    And even if you did develop a program which clearly the country has no ability to do, the UK's nuclear weapons are so far advanced you'd still stand no chance, Argentina would be turned into ashes if it did anything towards the people of the Falkland Islands.

    #31 We wish the the corporate you mention a great trip back to their home land UK I was talking About Islands Malvinas Argentina. Which has and wants nothing to do with British illegal aliens. I support a nuclear defence program to end the illegal occupation of Argentina by Brits, it's that simple, but we know how the Brits are they will cry wolf until the last minute. Then we will come out from the ashes like Japan did and populate islas Malvinas Argentina with the a local population not an implanted one from UK.

    @12 Tinpotman would cry if he wasn't allowed to prance. argieland should engage in more “international” voyages. How to “cut costs”. Get your navy impounded.
    @21 Slight problem. Simonstown isn't a “port”. It's a naval base. Take a close look at it in Google Maps. I don't see any way to determine which of the naval vessels is the Espora. There seems to be around 21 naval vessels. South Africa also has MEKO type vessels. Except they are twice the size of argieland's. Check out the Valour class.
    @23 Attempted stupid diversion. But then, based on Facebook photo, alex doesn't have a bath in which to play with toy boats.
    @25 Surely you're not trying to compare CFK with Maite Nkoana-Mashabane? Nkoana-Mashabane even looks like an intelligent person as well as sounding intelligent and truthful. You, and argieland, should be begging her to go and take over. Intelligence and truth are two of thousands of attributes to which CFK cannot lay claim. Let's remind ourselves of the pictures of CFK trying to press a brown envelope on David Cameron. She looked like a naughty, little (but old) schoolgirl trying to hand in late homework.
    @30 You poor misguided faggot. Spanish background, therefore a heritage of concentration camps and murder. Honed by years under the tutelage of nazi Nestor. The English don't care for trannies. Try the Scots. They already wear skirts. Yeah, wait a little longer. Try a thousand years. By then you should have shagged each other into extinction. Wonder what the women will do?
    @31 What he means is that he wants a loan. He's figured out “arrow”. Now he needs 200 billion pesos to figure out a “delivery method”.
    @32 Don't be nasty. Have you seen his picture on Facebook? All he needs is a shave, a haircut and a wash and he might be able to pass for a chimp. Leave him a little hope. Back in the cesspit, he might look quite appealing to another faggot. Remember what argieland is like. The ability to say “Ugh!” is super-intelligence!

    @33 Still a poor unwashed faggot. Has your “comment” got any relevance? By all means crawl out like the Japanese did. Remember that they crawled out in order to surrender. And beg for their lives. But the Japanese had something argies have no idea about. They had “honour”. Once they were made to understand that they couldn't win and, in fact, could be wiped off the face of the planet, they were intelligent enough to realise that life was better than death. And that the Allies only wanted them to stop being warlike and belligerent. To be satisfied with what they have. Or be destroyed. The Japanese have done that. And they have been helped by people from other countries that just want peace and honesty. How many thousands of years will it take for argie animals to learn that lesson?

    I very much doubt that Sussie has ever actually lived in the USA.

    It is one of those taunts he/she uses to bait us.

    He has multiple identities. He has an anal fixation, and it seems he has a desire to be a woman.
    He has been fulfilling those fantasies by pretending to be “Susana Brown” of Tempe Az.

    He thinks it gives him status and attention from the other Argentinians to say he lives in the US.

    @65 “I have a more nuanced view”. Oooooh. Get you! “I have a small or subtle distinction”. Like thinking CFK is “beautiful”. The small or subtle distinction being that you're either blind, stupid or perverted. Or perhaps all three. “I am an internationalist and a socialist”. This translates as “I have only one interest. Self interest. I will steal from anyone”.
    @67 It would be nice if a local spotter could help. As a suggestion, perhaps they could spread an emperor-size white bedsheet on the flight deck!
    @71 Come on now, alex, play fair. We know that you desperately want to say something good about “your” country. Even though you're more than 5,500 miles away. Always wonder why you don't go “home”. Welfare benefits better in Canada, are they? But let's take a look at the times that argieland stepped up to the plate, shall we? Yep, the Gulf War. A destroyer and a corvette. Apparently, the Almirante Brown fired an Exocet missile. Who at? Muslims? The Spiro only managed fishery patrols. That was 1991. Before that, argies only managed to invade some peaceful islands in 1982. Bunch of cowards, I'd say. Chevron is American. Go on, upset the Americans. On the subject of land mines, thank you for confirming that you don't even accept the spirit of the Ottawa Treaty. By definition, YOU are a murderer. That's YOU, personally. The Falkland Islands are not yours, murderer. They never have been yours and they never will be. But thanks for giving us a reason to use every available weapon against you. Do unto others, eh?

    This is all toooooo hilarious!!!

    The irony of it-Falkland flagged vessels banned from Argentine ports because the Argentines don't want to make money from harbour fees and their associated economics when a crew visits a port, yet the Argentines will have to ban themselves from every port that NML can get ahook on.

    In 1982, the Argentines ran for home when they realised their stupid fantasy adventure was not what they imagined, confining themselves to port. They will shortly be de-militarising the South Atlantic as the only safe place for their ships will be Argentine ports. But this will not be caused by any imaginary aggressive Royal Navy ships but the Argentine's own financial incompetence catching up with them.

    They have attempted to be 'clever' by borrowing money and refusing to pay back what they owe (never mind the interest), but when you bare your ass and fart into the wind, it has the unfortunate effect of flying back in your face, as Argentina is now finding out.

    No representation? How are they not represented? The Falklands and the other overseas territories are entirely self governing. Although I would support the idea, it is rather pointless as all their day to day legislation is made in the actual territory and not the House of Commons.

    Oh and FYI the Falklands belong to no one but themselves, those people have chosen to be British, except it you filthy Spanish settler.

    No such thing as the Malvinas. Are you referring to the Maldives? I here that they are a wonderful tourist and holiday resort. The Falklands however are real and they belong to the Falkland islanders and not to Argentina, a country which is younger, less developed, overly corrupt and useless unlike the Falklands. Drop your claim to the islands and try to make Argieland a more bearable place to live. Oh and if your country ever tries to harm them again, you can be sure that Britannia will kick your teeth in and send you back to the cesspit you call Argentina once more with your tail between your legs.
