    Another fine example of the deep and lasting friendship between two great nations.
    Further proof that Chile only pays lip service to its neighbour.
    Further proof that Argentina is sinking into the slip - stream of a rising Chile.
    Further proof that Chile is the most rapidly advancing country in Latin America.
    Further proof that the Chileans understand where their best interests are with.
    Further proof that Argentina is being ignored by the global community.
    Viva Chile!

    Aerolinas Argentinas anyone?
    Anyone?
    Anyone at all?
    yoo-hoo! Anyone?

    Oh, no takers?
    ummm, ok then...
    *tumbleweed blowing through. ..*

    Looking like the “End of Times” for Argentina. Probably best to break it up and sell it off.

    What I find interesting about Aerolinas Argentinas is that if you want to apply for a frequent flyer card with them they have Falkland Islands in the drop down menu........lol

    Lol!
    Brilliant!
    Nice to hear that they conform to international norms. Guess that gives the lie to all that “world support” they claim.
    Haha!

    @2. Wrong! See how quickly we fix things! How's that ice-breaker of yours getting on? Got a submarine that works yet? How about one with a nuclear reactor? Got any warships that float? Any aircraft that can take off and keep their wings? Any railways that don't kill people?

    Do try to get a grip. I won't call you Third World because that has a specific connection that you're not entitled to. But, let's see, you're not as good as the U.S, the UK, Canada, Russia, China, North Korea, France, Australia, India, Pakistan, Brazil, Chile. Doesn't that make you around 13th rate? And desperate? Back down where you belong. The gutter or the sewer? My money's on the sewer!

    Seems like the UK airport problem is fixed now. Amazing how fast the UK can respond in a crisis. This kind of problem would have closed Argentina for six months. If they could ever have handled the level of traffic that Heathrow has, haha!
    Back to the article, anyhoo.
    Great to see Chile taking its place in the First World. Good Luck to them. They deserve it.

    You do know that the moron Marcos Alejandro is Mike Bingham who lied about having a degree, left the Falklands under a cloud to go to live in Chile, left there under a cloud, went to Argturd land where he fits in very well with the other morons....Originally from North Wales

    You knew this right??

    Co-operating on maritime situational awareness particularly illegal fishing, and no doubt tracking items of mutual security interest, if Argentina manages to get anything other than the Liberatador out of port.

    how do you shoot down airspace...lol

    Britain is doing very nicely with our now intelligence gathering over Argentina,

    UK and Chile on the use of satellites in agriculture, disaster response and [[maritime awareness ]]

    We can see what CFK has for breakfast...lol

    Hello you! (me, trouble? jeje!........ *innocent face*)
    :-)
    Haven't seen you for a while, hope you are well.

    Argentina is being manipulated by the UK. They are just too stupid realise it yet. The friendship and support for Chile is obvious though, and the world is aware. The manipulation of Argentina is more subtle.
    And for those that know, it is quite amusing!
    Such fun..
    God Bless Chile.....

    Chile is making the nature of its future alliances quite clear. Chile is leaving the losers behind and joining the First World.

    Argentina is being left behind. The blame rests squarely on the shoulders of KFC and her corrupt gang, although the voters did buy into her bullshit... hmmm.... maybe they got what they asked for....

    Uhmmm... most Argentines don't want any cooperation with Europe, let alone the UK.

    So I still don't get what it is I'm supposed to find insulting in Ilsen's goads regarding “Argentina being ignored by UK, Europe”. Memo to you: that's what we want.

    No tobi, thats what you want. Not the whole of Argentina.

    Latin American migration to the United Kingdom is a phenomenon dating back to the early 19th century.
    Latin Americans in the UK are now a rapidly growing group consisting of immigrants from Argentina, (et al)
    Est. number of Latin Americans in the United Kingdom
    186,500 (2011)
    just try Wiki....

    So that is 186,500 people, of your 'brethren' that disagree with you.
    When will it become clear to you? Lat Am people love Europe.
    It is only you that feels differently.
    Time for your meds tobi. be nice now, no biting, it's the nice doctor....

    I can personally testify to that: if it wasn't for my in laws meeting each other in Bolivia and moving to blighty.... You don't actually realise how many latams are here in the uk living quite happily.

    It is now recognised that CHILE is the new Argentina ,
    And Argentina is now nearly the poorest in south America,

    Argentina will be the next Venezuela.

    Venezuela heading to massive devaluation, and now they have pissed off the US so much - Obama is imposing sanctions very soon!!

    Seems where there is smoke there is fire after all with this Bingham character.

    Love the self-righteous approach in his pseudo official ‘report’ on “The Falklands Regime” written by him in the third person, presumably to hide the fact it is he who is the subject. Note how he has set out the link: “Falklands Corruption” [dated 2002 and carrying DOCTOR Bingham, see below]

    http://www.falklands.net/FalklandsCorruption.shtml

    He is however guilty of misrepresentation regarding his original degree, the one he didn’t have at the time of his application:
    “One document from Gurr's inquiry reveals that Bingham was due to be prosecuted last August for financial deception in getting his job with the charity by falsely claiming to have a university degree at the time. The prosecution was dropped because of high overseas witness costs. Bingham consistently denies the accusation. But the charity's London office produced an application form in his name claiming a first-class degree. Bingham's actual degree, passed while he was on the Falklands, is from the Open University.”
    http://www.falklands.net/FalklandsCorruption.shtml
    (yes, I know it’s the gruniad)

    Bit of a Walter Mitty character as I cannot find any supporting evidence of him being awarded a PhD.

    And this is Marcos, why am I not surprised?

    Thx Chris,

    I noticed the “Dr.” as well.

    He dropped that title for his subsequent publications, being just plain old Mike Bingham.

    “Marcos” is a just a self-righteous prat.

    I don't think so. Think writes in castillano like a native Argie, Mike doesn't.
