    These two, will go at it now,

    I wonder if Ecuador or the OAS will come to argentines rescue,

    Will argentina warn the Americans of dire consequences, if their the sovereignty of the trade barriers, are abused.

    Do the Americans know who they are dealing with.

    Will CFK give asylum to the WTO .

    Argentina is the only country with the guts to take it to these pathetic entities, the US, EU, UK, and to push back at Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Uruguay, etc... AT THE SAME TIME!

    For decade these dishonorable bastards have cheated Argentina, put off massive barriers, engaged in currency speculation, subsidized their products so that their much higher costs of production are elimited, I could go on and on. They even send us poisoned books, that's how crappy their industries have become.

    Don't play fair? Fuck you, that's what we say.

    They've already stopped all US imports. Apple, Ralph Lauren, and all other such stores have closed in Argentina, even though they were fighting to stay. So there are no more imports from there.

    The rapier and the sabre.

    The rapier:
    The USA can cut out most trade with Argentina without significantly affecting its import-export profile.

    The sabre:
    Argentina has to cut out most world-wide import-export because it cannot afford to do otherwise. It has to maintain relations with Venezuela because it has burned its boats with everybody else, including Brasil (silly move). As it collapses, Chinese state/private companies will take over the land-stock, and Argentina will sell its country from under the feet of its people; it cannot afford the cost of doing otherwise.

    In ten years time or so, the Argentinian people will reflect “Why did we let it happen?”

I hear the malls and high end shopping districs look like ghost towns with RL, Calvin Klein, Armani, Nike ( about to go), Staples etc etc etc all left or leaving. Who is going to replace the rent they were paying, the people they employed, the taxes they paid?

Instead of them being sold in high quantity, taxed with RG employees they'll be bought in USA/Chile/Brazil. People will bring suitcases full of Levi's, Nike etc etc etc and sell them on Mercado Libre.

    The Nordic connection is easy to explain.
    If you had paid attention whilst in SA you might have noticed that many people who speak perfect English are “retornados”. In other words they were exiled or are children of exiles. The luckiest ones were taken in by Nordic nations.

    Whilst Guzz and Think are both old school South American socialist (reformed to some extend by the triumph of China’s pragmatism), TTToby is not.

    Seeing as Guzz has mocked the Argies for Uruguay’s recent footballing dominance, if he and Think are one and the same, he has surely gone so far into character as to seriously violate his Argentineness, making him a non-Argie either way.

    @4 What you mean is that argieland is the only place stupid enough to act in the way it does; belligerency, corruption, larceny, mendacity, unscrupulousness and so forth, and expect other countries to stand still for it. Unfortunately, your stratagem of purporting to be the victim has run its course. If you had the brain of an amoeba, you might just be able to recognise that you are incompetent. You have 196 years of history. A history that might be considered unique. It's difficult to think of any other place that, in 194 years, has had to make all the decisions that countries have to make and invariably got them wrong. But all its various governments have to be given credit for persuading the population that it is the only country “in step”. Thus the “victim” scam.
    @9 And you are in the US, right? Your activities, actions and words would probably have the FBI class you as an “enemy alien”. Wonder whether you'll be passing through US Immigration so easily forever.
    @20 Please don't try to convince anyone that argies have scruples. I'm surprised you know how to spell the word. Argies are scum. And the majority of Uruguayans seem to think the same. Doesn't that make you a fink?
    @24 First you have to find someone capable of catching a smuggler. Not much chance of that in LatAm.
    @29 Why don't you all get together and rename yourselves. Scum1, Scum2, Scum3 and so on. You could also have Slag1. Sorry, bad suggestion. It would be honest. Can't have that!

    Yes, that was the 'popular paper' view.

    In reality the plant withstood the earthquake but the designers did NOT consider a tsunami the strength of the one that hit the emergency generators and pumping sets. These were overcome by floodwater (being almost below ground did not help) and the batteries were ruined.

    So, no emergency power, just as the emergency happened!

    Very easy to see in hindsight, not so easy when you have a blank sheet of paper and have to design things: which is where I started when I was newly qualified as an electrical mechanical engineer.

    I have lots of sympathy for Japan, none at all for the uneducated (in science) politicians like Merkel, but hey, why let being pig ignorant stop them from making a hiatus out of a disaster.

    Good to see Argentina standing up to rich world hypocrisy, go go Cristina. One thing though, I'd be in favour of not sending lemons to Israel any more as a political statement against their apartheid, and I think that day may come.

    #50 Never thought I'd find myself defending Merkel on here, but you do know she IS a qualified scientist, don't you?!

    Yes, she holds a PhD in Physics, which makes her even more dispictable for bowing to the press. Ignorance despite knowing the facts.

    #69 This may surprise you but I'm actually not totally anti-nuclear power. I am, however, in favour of thorium as opposed to uranium which I believe creates the same amount of power more safely but is far less militarily useful than uranium and pluonium. It will be interesting to see if Germany can transition away from nuclear successfully (regardless of whether one thinks it should!)

    Thorium has never been tested in large scale and has some drawbacks of its' own, like the alleged lack of ongoing raw material.

    It is promising however and I really do hope it works out.

    If a trade war starts who will benefit more of this?

    Sure not US or EU.

    Can we ban Mc Donald and Coca Chola shit please, to make a great favour to the world?

    Diabetes rate will fall down drastically if this shit is banned ASAP
