    Better call up your Army, Paraguay.
    Last time oil was thought to be in the Chaco, Bolivia invaded.
    They may do so again.
    Or this time it could be our dear old friends, Argentina, looking for an easy victory.

    “UK company confirms discovery of oil in the Paraguayan Chaco”

    Sounds like good news for both the UK and Paraguay.

    I'd call that a win-win.

    Doubles all round please barman!

    It's a sad comment about the once feared Argentine Military when it's the last threat on Paraguay's mind.

    Cristina's flying monkey brigade will still try to find a way to extort bribes from the oil revenue, but they've become the laughing stock of South America.

    Please go easy on the vermouth and “shaken, not stirred” please...

    Certainly young man. Consider it poured. Olive? Twist of lemon rind?

    Always a pleasure to welcome such an erudite and charming gentleman. Do pull up a chair and tell us more of these flying monkeys. They sound such odd beasts?

    Only private companies can produce results and with the right partners will become profitable and productive, governments intervention can only bring misery. I can believe south Americans are 100 years back in thinking that a state control economy will bring prosperity, yes keep copying the Cuban model and the Bolivarian model you idiots!!!!!
    PS: Poor Brazil can get out of the majority northern useless people non productive all samba carnival and more kids to support more taxes mores subsidies more Dilma what are bunch of losers!!!
