If your case is so cast iron, why don't you take it up in the International Courts?To the islanders Argentina has declared an economic war, and at present they're supported by Britain. Do you think an economic war will prevail when the islanders can sell their produce to Britain, the EU or the Commonwealth? They have a direct route into lucrative Commonwealth trade via Britain, so economic isolation won't worry them that much, more irritate.Yes, it will reduce profits because they'll have to ship goods further, but many large oil corporations will be watching closely to see what happens, and both the FI Government and the UK Government know that. You're creating the rope to hang yourselves with, and playing into the hands of your enemies! The worst scenario for the FI Goverment is that you recognise them and sit down to talk about solutions.Inward investment companies and large corporations look for stability prior to committing large amounts of money in development. Argentina isn't following a course likely to inspire confidence at the moment.Also, if the economic sanctions are reciprocated by Britain (including banks) or the Commonwealth, what effect would that have on Argentina? What happens if the World Bank or the IMF declares Argentina is imposing illegal sanctions and removes support? This may seem like fantasy, but Britain sits on both of these bodies, and has used economic war to great effect in the past, and our financial institutions have their tentacles in many pies. I personally hate the London Finance institutions, but I would never under estimate them.Is Argentina capable of overcoming these issues? I don't think Latin America as a whole would support Argentina in the long run. They may pay lip service to it, but once "sanctions" are mentioned you may find yourselves becoming increasingly isolated. Given the fact that the waters are oil rich I would also suggest that Britain will quite happily foot the bill for defense with an eye on the long term rewards that this would bring. The finincial rewards in the Malvinas are astronomical, but the development would be tricky. As you'll be aware, a world wide energy war is ongoing, and I don't think its being fought in a fair manner by the Western world either. While I don't agree with how many Governments, Corporations or Banks (especially banks) operate, these are the systems we live with.</blockquote>
