Why are you telling lies, Steven?
You will get no credibility by telling lies & handing out insults about our flag & people.
Another ill-informed, indoctrinated fool.
Foudre - an essential item of military hardware in a country with 'a million islands' any one of which may have 'a problem'.
Oct 18th, 2011 - 12:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And it's good that Chile phrases the problem in terms of natural disaster.
Such is the Argentine paranoia that purchasing equipment to counter *military threat* would be seen by some as an act of war in itself!

Oct 18th, 2011 - 12:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0good joke...
Airforce Chile: “F16 Block D 50” out of the plant (2007)
Airforce Argentina: A-4 designed end of the 1940, begin of the 50ies...
Main Tank Chile: Leopard 2A4 (Heavy Tank, batch 1992)
Main Tank Arg: TAM (medium tank from 1981, based on the old LEO1 turret.)
Navy Chile: Lead... Almirante Lynch, launched 1994 (Type 23)
Navy Arg: Lead...Hercules B-52, launched 1972 (Type 42, In Argentina they call frigates destroyers...)
These are spot comparisons... comparing both armies nowerdays would result in a rape of the argentine army ;)
Argentines should be happy that we chileans are a peace-loving country and not that resentful as you guys.

Oct 18th, 2011 - 02:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Manuel, xbarilox is Chilean not Argentine.
Marcos, xbarilox is an anti-K and anti-Peronist (he's got enough mental sanity in this aspect)... in Argentina that makes you an outlaw and opens doors for witch-hunt.
Oct 18th, 2011 - 02:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The witch-hunt consists in calling argentines, who are not on Kirchers side or peronists: fascists, imperialists, “chileans” or “chilotes”, supposedly to be an K.O. argument for the victims.
xbarilox normally seems very immune against this witch-hunt, but if you know all his statements it's easily to detect that he is NOT chilean, as he lacks alot of info chileans generally know, and on the other side also has alot of the still typical arrogance some argentines have in front of their “transandinos”, his first statement above against chileans is evidence enough.

9 Manuel, There are Argentine knuckleheads and Chilean as well, nothing to do with nationalities and I could not care less if he is anti-peronist or peronist, I just happen to read many of his public twitter comments.

yes do that, grow up.
l like xbarilox, he is a very loose canon. He makes me laugh(not at him, l might add)& his opinions veer all over the spectrum, depending on what he has been drinking l think.

You must all be judging XBox across the piece, because all he said here was:
Oct 19th, 2011 - 11:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0'Chileans always second, they buy what Argentina discards. '
Not a very loose cannon statement.
But Isolde has probably hit the spot when she puts down to alcohol that which I call XBox's Jekyyl & Hyde personalities.
@ 15 thank you woman, and I like your nappy hair!!!
