Losers for the simple reason the entire system is rigged to begin with.
Jul 03rd, 2014 - 01:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0Simple fact is, the world DOES NOT want a prosperous, open, free-trading, peaceful Argentina.
No shame in losing a rigged battle.
Its not rigged you played dirty and got caught.

Jul 03rd, 2014 - 01:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0There's a better chance of you starving and/or freezing way before that could ever happen to me.
Jul 03rd, 2014 - 01:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0Your immediate future is what's going on in Venezuela. Blackouts, street fighting over day old bread and govt killing protestors.
And it couldn't happen soon enough for me.
Titti. Doesn't it get old being the only troll left crying and whining that the world is picking on Argentina? What the 2 billion are saying is that you....are cheaters.
Jul 03rd, 2014 - 01:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0Here.....have some cheese....it goes great with your whines.
“43 countries vs 1.”
Jul 03rd, 2014 - 02:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yep! That's right Nostrils.
43 countries were right.
1 country was wrong.
Argentina - always feeling the underdog! Why? BECAUSE OF THEIR F-----G ARROGANCE!
Jul 03rd, 2014 - 05:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well I am sure you will all be pleased and pop champagne when the first argies begin to DIE thanks to the crushing debt, the flood of cheap goods destroying industry, and Mercosur forcing to sign a treaty that will destroy agriculture.
Jul 03rd, 2014 - 05:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0So... a country with 200% debt? Destruction of all its industry? bankruptcy of its agriculture?
Sounds like complete destruction of all areas. Internationally sanctioned genocide.
If that is the country that you will accept from your current government Nostrils, then don't cry to us Argentina.
Jul 03rd, 2014 - 05:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0Opportunity is what you make of it. If your government is so powerless that it can only accept the future that you envisage, then I would say time to change government.
I don't blame you for my government's mistakes, so unsure why you feel that your government's mistakes are anyone's fault but yours.
11 Not sure that's the case but why blame foreigners? Why not look to the incompetence of your own Government and the way it has gone out of its way to needlessly alienate the rest of the World.
Jul 03rd, 2014 - 05:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0why is it always one way only for Argentina
Jul 03rd, 2014 - 06:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0they want the Falkland's -lost
they want to dictate to junk bond holders - lost
they want to write merco-EU trade deal - lost
they want to dictate trade terms with Brazil - lost
Only one poor argie tries to defend the CFK camp, and he loses as well...lol
Jul 03rd, 2014 - 10:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0“with the purpose of enacting the regulations to try to bolster its industrial base and substitute imports with domestically made goods.”...but you need industries that actually make those things. There are none...and even less than there were before cfk.
Jul 03rd, 2014 - 11:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0@2. A victory for the honest world.

And who was it thought it could put its 40 million against the world? The rules are quite clear. Can you not read?
@4. “the world DOES NOT want a prosperous, open, free-trading, peaceful Argentina. ” Oh, I don't know. Do you know where there is one? All I can see is a debt-ridden, thieving, lying, obstructive, belligerent and warlike argieland. If only it had any money!
@11. Sorry, I must have missed something. I thought you didn't need anyone and wanted to be isolated. How does it feel? Surely argies won't DIE when they are so self-sufficient! Still, can't make an omelette without breaking eggs. “Genocide” looks different from the other side, doesn't it? But I don't think we'll be breaking out the champagne. We reserve that for important things. Just a sense of quiet satisfaction. Trodden on another cockroach!
The funny part about this case is that Argentina imposed all of these unilateral import restrictions, and then upped the hypocrisy level to new heights by claiming that they were not trade restrictions at all!
Jul 03rd, 2014 - 01:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I'm not sure that they actually believed their own press releases on this. I think they were just banking on the WTO cases taking years to resolve, all the while they could keep up the import restriction and pretend they were all about free trade.
And cfk says there is no dollar clamp. Right. I don't understand how she can look you straight in the face and just plain lie.
Jul 04th, 2014 - 10:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0I can't wait for countries to start retaliating.
Jul 04th, 2014 - 03:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I hope they pick raw oil and cars
It will make exploration riskier with less profit
and
Drive the auto mfg out of the country
