    ..Argentina to play a “protagonist role” in Middle East.. What?! Ha ha how? They'll have as much impact if the Canary Islands did it.

    Anything to keep eyes away from problems at home.

    “What a crock of cr*p .... the lightweights want to get involved when the heavyweights cannot achieve anything ...”

    Turkey and Brazil would have achieved something if it were not for the US backtracking its previous position - a position that had been favorable to the Brazilian-Turkish campaign a month before these two countries reached an agreement with Iran.

    And I frankly think these “lightweights” have more of a chance of achieving something given that zero moral leadership the US and the UK have in the Middle-East due to their criminal military campaigns in neighboring countries.

    Why don't you get your brand new foreign minister onto the Syrian case. He might be able to pull the right strings (he might loose some support from his Jewish backers though...)

    As Forgetit (4) has written,
    “heavyweights” surely have to delegate this diplomatic functions on “lightweights” as they are very busy preparing another war in the area, perhaps the last one for humankind.

    Don´t allow you to be distracted when on duty!

    No, no, no. We must understand the realities of this offer. Brazil is, despite setbacks, moving toward a presence in the “real” world. It may bring something new. Spain has just completed the most ineffectual presidency of the EU in the short history of the institution. And Argentina couldn't negotiate its way out of a bucket of s**t, since its concept revolves around ”we've got a bigger stick (for now)“ or ”we surrender.”
