Good post - and if the UK imposed sanctions we'd play into their game, their 'narrative' and in doing so Argentina would be able to count on the support of most of South America. However, any supposed sanctions that Argentina imposes would be illegal and likely to do more damage to their beleaguered economy. The UK simply has to sit back, refute rhetoric with fact, sound in the knowledge that UNSCR 512 supports the UK's stance and we still have the fire power to maintain sovereignty and paradoxically, the 'self-determination' of the FI population.
