    this problem,reflects the big inferiority complex the argenine president has regarding the USA and Europe ,not only she but many so called progressive argies have the same complex.regarding Twitterman ,who got asylum in USA and got the USA nationality,he tries to be more papist than the pope ,everybody in Argentina considers him a clown.

    If you're so keen on US hardware maybe they'll send you some more.....a few tomahawks perhaps.

    Maybe you're both talking out of your ass.

    Neither Argentina or the US gives a rat's ass about the equipment, it's a message... it means 'you are not running the show, U.S. shut the hell up.'

    Considering the way America has behaved in Latin America, it's amusing to see the Yanks given a taste of their own medicine.

    Maybe if the Yanks hand over Henry Kissinger they might get their stuff back.

    thats true ,the Peron regime in 1945-1950 received a lot of gold and money from the nazis ,argentina was the only western nation who gave asylum to war criminals ,think of eichman,mengele,etc.
    And now they are supporting Khadaffi .

    The only real Americans are [red] and live on reservations, [or they did]
    American is thus full of foreigners [just ask the red Indians] ]
    rightly or wrongly they came together and become Americans, proud an all,, if I am correct, right up to the 1950s they were still proud Americans who loved their country, but in the last 50 years or so, it has changed, at the last count the expert could cut it into 3, white Americans African Americans-and Hispanic. how it has changed ,,is for them to decide, but good or bad ,they grew and become the most powerful country in the world, but just lately becoming slightly pacifist, when people immigrated to the states, they were considered Americans, and fought for America, today more and more are against those ethics, America is changing all the time, but will she stay united or break up into sections, many would like this, many would not, but hey, love them or hate them, at this moment it time , without them the world would change over night, and sadly not for the best, china may well be the next super power, but already others are queuing up , the future will be what we make it, we will reap what we sow, so perhaps wishing that the Americans would just disappear, may not be a good idea as some may think.???
