    Trimonde, you are jealous. Reckon that big bonanza sitting just of our shores could be part of that big plan. Bet that will be a big dummy spitting issue in Argentina if that wete to happen.
    We might even see an increase in our military forces as well. Dont you just love it.

    1 There are not enough LNG terminals in Europe to replace pipeline gas

    2 The USA is selling LNG to Europe at 6 times the cost of its price in the USA

    3 To even come near the gas needs of Europe Tankers and Terminals have to be built

    4 Governments cannot control energy markets, Period !.( good luck with that )

    5 Europe is buying Russian LNG & Gas via middlemen ( China & India )

    Europe doesn’t have enough LNG terminals but the UK does. Built for the day when N. Sea gas runs out but not yet needed, LNG is being unloaded in the UK then piped to Europe via interconnectors.

    Currently approx. 5% of Europe’s gas supply is being delivered this way with capacity for a lot more.

    I find it very interesting and sad at the same time, how you feel immune to your impertinent child like nastiness Falklands-Slave. Argentina has so much land and resources, so much culture and people well ...a real and very big country, that it could never find reason to feel “jealous” of that inhospitable spit of peat at the service of UK geopolitical greed and their pompously arrogant Parliament. I'm pretty certain you're projecting your own jealousy. There are so many ways I could get into this with you, like the fact that if ever they decide to go forward, it will be the most expensive harvesting of oil and gas in the world. At the worst possible time in history to start development. They will have no choice but to turn your once pristine islands into an oil refinery, turning them into some industrialized Siberian landscape, and still no one that will want to move there to raise a family ever, but rather it will continue on its constant rate of loss of young people. Soon you'll an “empty homes” crisis if you keep facking building growth. You're practically a tinny little angry machine masquerading as some form of self run government. A stunted flat faced midget shouting his claim of being an attractive tall dark and handsome man. ... lol At least try to stop being so bitter, buddy.

    I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv when them Brainwashed Anglo Turnips lie to themselves in public...

    Above..., one of them..., without a shred of evidence..., fantasiously writes..., ...:
    - “Europe doesn’t have enough LNG terminals but the UK does. Built for the day when N. Sea gas runs out but not yet needed, LNG is being unloaded in the UK then piped to Europe via interconnectors. Currently approx. 5% of Europe’s gas supply is being delivered this way with capacity for a lot more.”

    -Here...,on the other hand..., courtesy of this humble Patagonian..., a real article from “UKgeopolitics.com” that describes the REAL British LNG Capacity as per September 4, 2022

    Chuckle..., chuckle...

    Read it and weep, fool

    https://www.theguardian.com/business/nils-pratley-on-finance/2022/jun/29/uk-contingency-plan-to-shut-gas-pipelines-to-europe-would-be-madness

    ‘The UK is exporting huge volumes as we have the liquefied natural gas terminals capable of landing gas from ships to be sent to the continent’

    Oh, and don’t forget the 5 gas pipelines that bring it to the UK from Norway, currently around 1,440,000 metric tons.

    50% of UK gas supply is from within our own territory.

    There, now you are better informed, if that’s possible.

    Trimonde, you are so predictive.
    It matters not if oil is pumped out at what ever cost. It matters not if they never pump it out.
    Fishing and tourism is on the increase with a lot of revenue flowing in for very little going out.
    Nice part is we are still developing our islands in the way we want , not dictated to by Argentina.
    We are in fact increasing our population at a rate faster than we can build homes for them to live in. Stanley has almost quadrupled in size since 1982 and we have did it all without borrowing a single penny. Unlike Argentina who has borrowed billions that likely will never be paid back. So on the balance we are actually performing far better than your country with all that so called beautiful land.
    I agree Argentine land is beautiful, just a huge pity your government are stopping your people using it properly. Argentina once had the best beef industry in the world. What went so terribly wrong.
    We islanders had a lot of respect for you before 1982 but your then dictator put paid to that.
    Going to take thousands of years to right that wrong and by that time Argentina very likely wont exist anymore.
