This is what they said,

in February two thousand and ten.
If the Kirchners hadn't thrown their toys out of the pram the Argentine economy would be reaping these rewards. It's now past the point of no return.

As the Falkland Islands and its people looks to the future - Argentina continues to look to the past. The islands have a bright future despite all of the rhetoric, flimsy Argentine polices and blinkered diplomacy - us islanders will keep moving forward as Argentina, its Government and its people moves further away from their objective.

What are those red red platforms?? Very invasive and contaminating I see them
Jul 05th, 2013 - 01:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That red “platform” is the rig on the ship to slide pipe in to the sea
Jul 05th, 2013 - 02:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh dear, what do they need all those pipes for? Haven't they been listening to Think and Co?

Jul 05th, 2013 - 05:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@6 What does it have to do with you? Those “harvesters” trying to reap the wheat you don't have are also red. You have a problem with that? You need to understand something. These things are going on in the FALKLAND ISLANDS. That's a place in which you have NO legitimate interest. I want to emphasise that. No LEGITIMATE interest. Do try to understand. YOU have NO chance of having any control over the FALKLAND ISLANDS. Have we not proved that to you. Do we have to bomb and missile you until the remainder of your population sees sense? Make no mistake. WE can missile you from the English Channel. WE can missile you from the ocean. WE can bomb and missile you from the FALKLAND ISLANDS. How dare you intimate that you have any “rights”. After considerable research, the people of the Falkland Islands and the people of Britain are satisfied that you have NONE! So sod off and mind your own business. In fact, take your mind off it. Sod off and get yourself buggered.

I believe this will happen.
Many international firms and countries just find Argentina too unstable/unreliable/unpredictable to deal with ,whereas the Falkland Islands often take 'a hit' to encourage investment and appear to deal fairly with their 'clients.'
Due to Argentina not seeing sense and cooperating to provide resources to help the Falkland Island oil industry, the Islands/oil companies simply find other solutions to land the oil, hence the need for a deep water port-another potential destination for ships in the South Atlantic needing one, and future competition to other ports in Southern Argentina and Chile.
If the Panama canal is shut down, the Horn will return to its 19th century heyday.
Argentinians clearly need their heads testing by sneering at the Falkland Islanders and ignoring the phenomenal progress they have made since 1982, as the Islanders ability to handle money/ business and do things slowly BUT properly are going to bite Argentina hard up the ass, commercially, in the next 50 years.
Also with an oil terminal, it increases the FIs industrial infrastructure that may well have positive economic implications beyond 'Falklands' oil.
Argentina could have eliminated any chance of the Islands having competing facilities by cooperating, and by not, they have forced the Islanders/industry to do what they might not have preferred to, but now they have it will provide commercial competition to Argentina.
And if oil is successful, make no bones about it. The Islands will be able to have their own airline that will compete with those in South America, and provide the Island with it's own links,but may also veer east as well to the rest of the South Atlantic, Africa, and aircraft are capable of flying over Antarctica into the Pacific.

LOLs

Jul 06th, 2013 - 12:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Mmmmmmm, any future flights over Antarctica would be intercepted by biplanes the way the Argentine military is receding, unless their airborne diapers work in the cold.
Or perhaps Argentina would generously permit over flights by a future Falklands airline, if it air dropped food parcels and fuel to the starving, neglected Argentine Antarctic Implants.

Jul 12th, 2013 - 11:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think its disgraceful for them to use people for such a false territorial claim and then leave them in the sh1t in bad conditions, but is sadly not a surprise .
They only use their war veterans when politically convenient then leave them to rot.
