Time to boycott Argentine goods in the UK? Their wine, meats etc? I think so.
They are just bullies.

Argentina's transport workers' union says it will boycott ships flying the British flag because of the dispute over the Falkland Islands.
The union - which includes dock workers - said the measure would apply to all UK vessels reaching Argentina.
It is not clear how much impact the boycott will have.
Tension between the UK and Argentina over the Falklands has been rising in recent months as the 30th anniversary of the Falklands war approaches.
"We have resolved to boycott any ship with the British flag, or with the lying and invented flag of the Falklands, or with any flag of convenience which the British pirates use," the Argentine Confederation of Transport Workers said in a statement.
The announcement is the latest in a series of measures aimed at pressing Argentina's claim to sovereignty over the islands, which it calls the Malvinas.
In December, the South American trading bloc Mercosur closed its ports to ships flying the Falkland Islands flag.
