    “its incompatible to commitments taken by the block within an international agreements framework”

    Lol you argitards didn't give a shit a bout international law and agreements framework when you stole YPF from repsol. Now your complaining because Spain is giving you a taste of what its like to be on the receiving. You can't have it both ways!!

    I do not understand something, if the Argentines are as bad as they say, why many are emigrating to Argentina?

    Argentina started this trade war. Now they complain about it. Those who live by the sword, die by the sword.

    stopping imports at the arg border is ok for the ck-gang.

    blocking exports by the customers is not ok.

    the ck-gang is half brained: they lost the half for the reality and kept that for the lies. I´m not sure if they have ever had that half for the reality.

    And now Brazil is restricting imports from Argieland in retaliation to Argie obstruction. CFK is fiddling while her country burns.

    The peso had it largest single day loss this week. It is now $5.28 in the black market. It must be over $6 on the leak rate.
    IMF will sanction Arg in Sept. So no more IDB, WB funding..
    WTO will sanction Arg shortly which mean no trade with MOST OF THE WORLD.
    This is getting worse much quicker than even I thought it would...
    CFk better have her safe house ready to go, maybe she can use Peron's in Tigre...

    #6 Good point

    #13 “This is getting worse much quicker than even I thought it would...”

    But you ALWAYS say this =)

    Good move btw, holding up Spain to the same standards people seem to expect from Argentina =)

    What on earth did the real world ever do to you to make you so bitter and twisted toward it that you trumpet some failed state in South America led by a freak and a bunch of gangsters?

    I know you are a commie (being in the Scottish Old Labour mould) but even that does not explain it.

    Do you even realise how despicable you look to the Brits?

    17. He's is an Argentinian paid poster and probably has never left the country.

    Where oh where is Axel, I want him to explain to me how a quickly depreciating peso is good for him and his family.

    Oh dear, argieland is experiencing “discomfort”. A violation of WTO agreements. Damaging to argie exports. Tough. Get used to it. This is just the BEGINNING. Be sure to let us know when your “industry” has collapsed, your infrastructure is sh*te and two-thirds of your population is starving and killing each other for a slice of dogsh*t. Tip for all argies: Think how happy the rest of the world will be when you no longer exist!

    Funny that, when the Spanish ban was first announced the Argy Gov said “it was unimportant, as the product would be absorbed by the domestic market.

    Doesn’t seem so unimportant now, someone been telling porkys or what.

    Lol.

    24 - How dare you, you saying that the Reichmistress is spouting un intelligent propaganda to help / sustain her hold on power, playing the protector of the nation character in a pantomime to divert the masses from the terrible economic performance that is hidden from the population by intimidation and laws to stop negative reporting. shame on you

    #17 I'm not bitter and twisted at all, just hopeful that the current dismal state of politicsin my own country can be fixed, and that the example of Cristina, Chavez, Morales and co, for all the (precisely real world) imperfections that still crop up in their own countries, shows the kind of transformational left leadership necessary to do it. As for my comment on here, if you read what I say you'll notice that what I'm getting at is the hypocrisy of the developed world and the argophobes on here who always complain about protectionism then turn araound and do this. Its not bitter and twisted to be against hypocrisy

    It must be a dam difficult job being a troll for the kircher youth. Imagine waking up and reading the next in a series of ill thought out crude propaganda rants and having to defend it on these forums, and all for a little food or cash. Dam difficult job...

    To defend the undefendable
    Must be pretty understandable
    For a deluded, indocrinatable.
    But then CFK always was unreliable, undefendable , and unrecognisable
    To tell the truth ?/

    #27 If I thought there would be no pushback from the oligarchy and the governments of the rich world, I would not have thought I needed to show my solidarity with Cristina and Argentina in the first place. When you've been around the left as long as me Isolde you'll realise that we don't always win, but thats no reason not to try; and Cristina still seems headed to victory on her own terms, its just that may not include popularity with Washington, London and Berlin =)

    @31B_K,
    l had leftist leanings in my teens, Scotty.
    So much so that l was a disappointment to my parents & grandparents.
    l have since learned the error of my ways & now firmly believe in free enterprise.
    l reject to be labelled as “left” or “right”.
    We are all individuals.
