As was just pointed out, the US is the world's polic force, and as such, we can not be neutral, especially about issues in the Americas

Neither. This issue is between the Argentines and the UK. At least last time I checked it was.

Ok enough with this seriousness.

This. I don't know how much clearer I could have been with that post.

Let me put it as bluntly as I can.

I do not give one iota about what goes on between the Brits and Argentina. It's none of my [mod]I expected better of you, Ice. :stubborn:[/mod] business. I pray that they come to a peaceable conclusion on their own.

I also pray that Hillary Clinton gets out of politics and stops meddling where she has no business poking her nose into.

Is Hillary Clinton a Hutterite Chick?

No, but she weighs the same as a duck.

Um. Well. She is Secretary of the State. This kind of is something she should be 'poking her nose into'.

Neither country asked for our assistance, though, right? It wasn't really our problem when she up and started talking. I don't think it's necessary to intervene on every last thing.

Ok I spent exactly one minute looking at the issue.

And really? this is something that actually merits any discussion?

About as much as the Argentineans care about Canadian claims of Arctic sovereignty.

Well. The UK is a member of NATO and Argentina is designated a Major non-NATO ally with whom we also have a strange economic relationship. I don't know anything about the current dispute or what Hillary Clinton said. Maybe it was stupid. But the US definitely has an interest in potential conflict between Argentina and the UK and Hillary Clinton is currently head of the government department that manages America's diplomatic efforts and interests.

I don't like Hillary Clinton as a person. I think she's a habitual liar, at least when placed in a political context. But everything I've read has suggested that she's an very competent Secretary of State and she wouldn't be doing her job if she regarded a potential dispute between two major allies as non of her business.

Yes. Just because something is small doesn't make it unimportant.
