LOL - not only have argentina pissed off the US with their seizure of US military equipment, but it looks like they are now pissing of their neighbouring countries (that they call friends). I guess they would be wise not to rely on their nighbouring countries support so much over the falklands now, as i do not think Uruguay or any other country that feels hard done by, by argentina, will be in the mood to support argentina now.

The end is coming, the end is coming! OMG! Seriously, who cares what these rich people say? We're tired of listening to these people who only care about themlselves. Greedy bastards. If you don't want to be part of Mercosur anymore then leave now but stop giving excuses Mr Washington! I'm sure uncle Sam will treat you right.
