Chilean diplomacy has been active preparing for the next G-20 meeting in Mexico which it plans to attend as a “special guest”, but also because the future could hold an even greater prize if Argentina’s erratic behaviour finally is no longer acceptable for the rest of the group’s members.

    Seems logical regardless of the Argentina issue that Chile is part of the discussions given its economic, political and diplomatic improvements.

    How would CFK sell being the first nation ever kicked out of the G20?

    That'd look good on her legacy.

    I can see the Chileans point of about replacing Argentina in the G20. They after all have to exist has their neighbours, which I gather is not an easy thing to do at the best of times. Replacing them would leave them open to all sorts of allegations from Latam states, such as profiting at the expense of Argentina. Not to mentiontt he grief they would receive from Argentinian nationalists. All in all, membership is probably not worth the regional problems it would cause them. However an invite to the meetings on a regular basis, with a view to membership, that's another thing.

    Let G19 = G20 - Argtardia
    If (Chile request = 'Challenge Accepted') then {
    G19 + Chile = G20
    }
    else {
    G19 + Thailand = G20
    }

    If Argentina were more developed and had a better political culture, we'd have the G21 - with both Argentina and Chile included!

    @7 No, they'd be still kicked out for adding naught but anti-trade blockades.

    I hope they are kicked out - not for any particular reason beyond the entertainment value of such an eventuality.

    G20 doesn't “need” argieland. Argieland lies. Membership of G20 depends on GDP (nominal) and (PPP). Argieland is somewhere between 21st and 27th. All being well, when the IMF reports on argieland's REAL economy, G20 will be a closed door. Or perhaps we should say one more closed door.

    @ GreekYoghurt

    I like more this:

    $YPFt=12bn: //turnover
    $YPFp=1.5bn; //Profit
    $G20=0;
    $YPF=””;
    if ($YPF== “expropriation”){

    echo ‘Turn over:’. $YPFt .’Profit:’. $YPFp;

    }else{

    echo ‘G20:’. $G20;

    }

    other: (Lingo)

    On mouseUp go to Spain.

    Other: (javascript)
    onMouseover=”alert(Spanish go Home and stop crying like babies please!')”;

    Other: (Ajax)

    function GetCountries(strURL){
    document.getElementById(“xcounrties”).style.visibility=“visible”;


    var req = CreateXmlHttpObject();
    if (req)
    {
    req.onreadystatechange = function()
    {
    if (req.readyState == 4) {
    if (req.status == 200) {
    document.getElementById('country').innerHTML=req.responseText;

    }
    else
    {
    alert(“There was a problem while using XMLHTTP:n”);
    }
    }
    }
    req.open(“POST”, strURL, true);
    req.send(null);//send the results
    }
    }

    onChange=“GetCountries('.”'“.'ajax_countries.php?country_id='.”'”.'+this.value);”>

    Oops Spain doesn’t appear? Something wrong with my code?

    Your use of “function GetCountries” is correct in this context, because this function achieves argentina's wish for colonisation, expansionism and annexation of surrounding territories.

    on function GetCountries (ArgtardiaWantsLebensraum = TRUE){
    run procedure ArgtardianAnnexation
    run procedure ArgtardianExpansionism
    run procedure ArgtardianColonisation
    run procedure JumpIntoBedWithChineseLikeAFailedAfricanState
    run procedure PrevaricationAndIgnoreConstitution
    }

    That would describe a model for an argtardian.

    13 @ Yeap, just one big country called CHILE.......jajajajaja...

    No, we are very confortable as we are, except that they can return us our Patagonia stolen on 19th century, from Rio Negro (Black River) to South including the almost half a Tierra del Fuego .......

    G-20 is too much interested in our membership because we will probably receive the South Atlantic oil from de Falklands......too much money involved, don't you think so????

    @GreekYoghurt

    f(isset($_POST['das_order'])){
    $id_cat=$_REQUEST['das_order'];
    }else{
    $das_order=”RAND()”;
    }

    if(isset($_POST['das_limit'])){
    $id_cat=$_REQUEST['das_limit'];
    }else{
    $das_limit=“20”;
    }

    $getPiratesCountries=“Select * FROM countries WHERE behaviour='pirates'AND status='active' ORDER BY $das_order LIMIT 0,$das_limit”

    $getPiratesCountriesDone = mysql_query($getPiratesCountries) or die(“Cannot get Pirates countries sorry”);

    while($werf_lich= mysql_fetch_array($getPiratesCountriesDone)){

    $Pid=$werflich['pid'];
    $Pname=$werflich['name'];

    echo “This is the pirate country: $Pname #$Pid”;

    {

    Output

    Britain 1
    Spain 2
    Ha ha ha
