Feb 05th, 2018 - 05:48 pm - Link - Report abuse -2“2021 for first oil sounds about right . That will be nine years from when PMO farmed in. I really discount the 'risk' of FIG saying 'no' as improbable. I could see possible tweaking of something here and there on environmental grounds as a maybe; but a flat no I completely discount. The FIG want the developments and have created a low tax environment to encourage companies. With POO recent performance I think PMO stepping back now is improbable. Their presentations shows how bigger deal SEALION is to them. They used the word 'transformational' when describing what the huge production means to their business. Their presentation shows that SEALION will be developed before Zama. I think the greatest risk is the finance arrangements not being agreed. Next on my 'risk list' would be a POO collapse. The really long term risk regarding electric cars and the demise of oil is real but unlikely to impact SEALION. Oils gradual demise is more of a risk to marginal fields still awaiting development partners. I have read that some say that 80% of the worlds oil will have to stay in the ground because of global warming. Brent now $68.26”

Nobody really gives a toss about sad old Mr Think's propaganda. He knows no more than any other outsiders on here (and no less). The odds on Premier sanctioning the Sealion field this year have improved, because the oil price has improved. Many Argentines (and their apologists) wish it weren't the case, but it is. If there is an oil price collapse again the field development will not proceed. Its as simple (and complicated) as that.

Yeah, I expect that had something to do with it. I know the rules: you're only allowed to steal land from people who don't have a flag. (Sometimes I think that's the real reason Argentines are so angry about it.)
Feb 07th, 2018 - 09:01 pm - Link - Report abuse +1In fact in French Guiana the reverse happened; Portugal invaded and conquered it during the Napoleonic wars, but it was given back to France afterwards.
It's funny though, because most of Argentina's complaints about the Falklands also apply there: it's a rich European country maintaining a colonial presence in a distant continent, most of the population was implanted by France (and unlike the Falklands, Guiana WAS a prison colony), and they have military stationed there. Yet no one cares about any of those things. I concluded they are all red herrings.

Thank you Rodge. Now can you point out which article actually does not recognize the United Provinces as a sovereign State?
Feb 08th, 2018 - 12:10 am - Link - Report abuse -3It takes a positive, not a negative Think. It has to be confirmed.
Feb 08th, 2018 - 12:22 am - Link - Report abuse +3Spain, of course, complained: “... if, .. the Gov*, of H. B. M. shall persist in carrying into effect the conclusion of Treaties of Commerce with them, and the consequent diplomatick recognition which the communication of the English Minister announces, H. M. protests and will protest in the most solemn manner against these measures, by which the Treaties existing between the two Powers will be violated and the legitimate and imprescriptible Rights of The Throne of Spain attacked in the most serious manner.”
So Canning wrote back: ”... we admit that no question of right is decided by our recognition of the New States of America.”
So, no recognition of any rights. Hence, this is called a de facto (in fact) recognition, not a de jure (in law) recognition. No recognition of the UP as a Sovereign State because of Spain's outstanding claims.
Now, in 1850, the UK gave full recognition with Art.5: ” Her Britannic Majesty’s Government having declared “that it is freely acknowledged and admitted that the Argentine Republic is in the unquestioned enjoyment and exercise of every right, whether of peace or war, possessed by any independent nation; … ”
A recognition of rights - of being a sovereign state.
Britain recognised no territory in 1825 Think, and warned BA about trespassing in the islands in 1829 and 1832.
BA should have listened.
Isn't history interesting. All superfluous now, of course.

White Engrish man speaks with forked tounge..., indeed...
Interesting that you should speak of forked tongues Think.
Feb 08th, 2018 - 02:45 am - Link - Report abuse +3In 1824, Woodbine Parish, recognising that the United Provinces were not in fact united (no central government, no president, etc) he wrote to each of the Provinces asking for a description of what the UP actually consisted of. Not one mentioned the Falklands as being a part of their territory. Fortunately, the response from Buenos Aires was subsequently published in 1825.
https://falklandstimeline.files.wordpress.com/2018/01/an_account_historical_political_and_stat.pdf
So, either the 1825 treaty was based upon misinformation provided by the Provinces of the UP, or, they did not claim the Falklands at that point in time.
Forked tongues indeed.
Of course, if the 1825 commercial treaty was full recognition of the UP, it rather begs the question why Rosas insisted on such recognition being in the 1850 treaty.
The reality is that Canning was being quite truthful. No rights in the UP were being recognised by the 1825 treaty and certainly no territory - particularly territory that had not even been mentioned.
Appears the only forked tongues were from the UP (Argentina).
193 years later it seems that little has changed considering your haughty, hypocritical, double standard Argie mentality. What do they call that in Argentine Think?
Viveza criolla?
Indeed.

Written in England:
Feb 08th, 2018 - 03:57 am - Link - Report abuse -3The British Empire
“Three years later, the British did formally leave the islands and they passed into the Spanish Empire for the next forty years. This arrangement was formally recognised by the British in the 1790 Nootka Sound Convention by which Britain formally rejected any colonial ambitions in 'South America and the islands adjacent'. It also reflected a weakening of British power in the Western Hemisphere coming shortly after the embarrassing loss of the 13 colonies partly thanks to French and Spanish intervention.
The Spanish claim on the islands would falter with the South American Wars for Independence at the start of the nineteenth century. The Spanish removed their formal representative and settlers from the island from 1810 and completed it by 1811. The islands were left to their own fate for the next decade as sealing and whaling ships might call in from time to time to take advantage of the harbour and fresh water. It was not to be until 1820 that the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata would send a frigate to the islands in order to assert their control as part of the legacy of post-colonial Spanish claims to authority there. Buenos Aires would appoint their first governor in 1823 who tried to limit the whole-scale slaughter of seals which were in danger of being made extinct on the islands. A penal colony was also established on the island”

Feb 09th, 2018 - 05:32 pm - Link - Report abuse +1I was talking about the mid 19th century. The UK's population was 27 million and we were not referring to any S.American country. Look at the cartoon and read the country names.

@Clyde15
True, I just put those in as a comparison. The UK may be a small country by area but it has a medium sized population. It doesn't make the top 20 most populous countries now, but in 1900 it was 9th most populous even without the Empire. I can't find a list for 1850, but AFAIK the UK had a larger percentage of the world's population back then, and was growing rapidly despite the large number of people emigrating. 27m was still dwarfed by India's 283m, but not as much as 66m by their current 1,324m, and Africa as a whole had less than 100m back then.

Feb 09th, 2018 - 07:49 pm - Link - Report abuse +4“the British did formally leave the islands”
“The Spanish removed their formal representative and settlers from the island from 1810 and completed it by 1811.”
Make your mind up.
. Britain surveyed West Falkland in 1790, and British whaling/sealing continued since 1774.
Why didn't Spain prevent this if they were in charge.?
“The islands were left to their own fate for the next decade as sealing and whaling ships might call in from time to time to take advantage of the harbour and fresh water”
They called in all of the time, not from time to time, including at Port Egmont, New Island and locations other than Port Louis.
“ It was not to be until 1820 that the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata would send a frigate to the islands.”
As the United Provinces found out about Jewitt's flag raising from a British newspaper article, how could they have sent what was a pirate ship?
Explain how Jewitt represented the United Provinces when less than 5 years later he was fighting for Brazil against the United Provinces?. He was also born in the USA.

Feb 09th, 2018 - 07:50 pm - Link - Report abuse +3”...seems to be some kind of rivalry between Chileans and Argentines, and no way could you have dealt with them... in 1978.
We would have definitely blooded their nose, but Argentina could have easily bombed Santiago and seized the south. Thousands would have probably died.
That's why my generation's attitude towards the Falklands war can be summarized in one singular German word: Schadenfreude, which is a pleasure derived from someone else’s misfortune. Sort of when karma returns to bite someone on the rear end.
Today schadenfreude continues in the air, blowing briskly over hapless believers of the mythical Las Malvinas. Chile is not Argentina's arch enemy, they're just it's better mannered, wealthier and modest cousins.

It does seem that Chileans are fond of trolling Argentines online though, perhaps you can explain why?

Chileans disliking Argentines? Well, well. Perhaps if Argentina gave back Tierra del Fuego. It was usurped after all.
Feb 10th, 2018 - 10:55 am - Link - Report abuse +1So Patrick was actually right about something. But you've reminded me of the old joke about Europe:
Feb 10th, 2018 - 11:24 am - Link - Report abuse -1In heaven, the policemen are British, the chefs are French, the engineers are German, the lovers are Italian, and the whole thing is run by the Swiss. In hell, the policemen are German, the chefs are British, the engineers are French, the lovers are Swiss, and the whole thing is run by the Italians.
Is there anything similar for South America?

Feb 10th, 2018 - 11:12 pm - Link - Report abuse +2Not really, but Chile has its own embarrassing tendencies. It's often noted: “An Argentine is an Italian who speaks Spanish, thinks he's French, and would secretly like to be British.”
Round and round the radical road the radical rascal ran, THE FALKLAND ARE A B.O.T until the FALKLANDERS decide otherwise, so all this crap about what happened well before any of us were born is absolutely nonesense. You can procrastinate as you long as you want about sovereignty but a B.O.T. it remains and none of you on here will change that. there are a many on here that like to hear their own Voice.
