Disclaimer & comment rulesAnother day, another tribunal / court case / dispute... How can one administration cause so much goodwill ?
Dec 22nd, 2012 - 02:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0At some point (I hope for Argentina's sake), CFK will work out that the reason her foot is sore all the time, is because of the bullets she keeps putting in to it.
It's difficult to see how the cfk government can try and defend this. But we shall see.
Dec 22nd, 2012 - 11:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Easy, just like before they will be found guilty and claim its run by corrupt westerners or its rules/laws don't apply to Argentina, etc etc
Dec 23rd, 2012 - 12:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0Whilst simultaneous blaming the UK for not respecting UN resolutions Argentina violated by carrying out an illegal invasion.
Just another day in the life of the bizarre leadership Argentina is being subjected too.
You guys may have missed the article back on 11/28. Argentina had 42 claims for 65 billion dollars sitting with the ICSID. They answer was to just abandon the ICSID. That is how they respond to international law, unless it is in their favor. What's that old saying......My way or the highway.

La Nacion and C5N have confirmed that ARA Espora has sailed from South Africa and is headed towards the Brazilian coast where it will join ARA Libertad to escort it into Mar Del Plata Naval base on January 9, 2013.
Dec 23rd, 2012 - 04:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
ProRG_RG: seeing as you've posted that in every thread and still not really generated much of a response do you yet realise that nobody really gives a stuff?
Dec 23rd, 2012 - 06:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What was embarrassing for Argentina's Government was that it was stuck there for so long and that the German company wanted payment up-front.
The fact that they have paid-up and the repairs are now done isnt exactly a triumph: it just reminds everybody about the original f-up...and I'm pretty certain you think that its some sort of triumph...?
which is, frankly, odd.

Of course because it was outright theft by Argentina.
No foreign investor is likely to put up their money in somebody else's industry
( Argentina's) if their assets and returns are going to be confiscated.

You kirchnerites can say anything, but that's all you are doing is “saying anything” out of desperation. The history of the world is on the side of the USA, UK and most developed nations. You have nothing but UTUBE (a very intelligent substance of support I might add.......NOT). When you make an empty statement.....it means nothing.......just like argentina.....it means nothing. In all of you less than 200 years of history as a country, you will learn to work inside of the neighbor everyone calls “the world” and grow up and stop blaming “the world” for the problems argentina created for itself. BA is going through power outages again and it is no fault but kirchner's. Everything else that will happen this summer is kirchner's fault. The people suffer because of her.
