IcePrincessKRS Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 [quote name='Amppax' timestamp='1328481426' post='2381773'] Ok I spent exactly one minute looking at the issue. [/quote] Same. [quote name='Hasan' timestamp='1328481717' post='2381776'] 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. [/quote] From the very little I read she happened to swing by there and said we'd be willing to facilitate talks between them because the Argentines are upset over the Brits drilling for oil down there. The Brits, from brief reading, felt like she was siding against them. I shall concede your last point, (especially since I totally agree with the first 2/3 of the paragraph) but I still don't really feel like it was probably the best idea at the time without having some sort of conversation with the Brits first, or as well, or something along those lines.
