    Excellent, sums it up very nicely.

    Why is the truth so hard to stomach.

    LOL
    The hypocrisy of the Chicago roulette junkies.
    We will never pay them a single penny and they know it.
    They are powerless to do anything.
    The US, EU, Mercosur, China, all impotent would be filibusters.

    We will see who is crying when you are all begging us for food.

    I had read somewhere that it took so long to get the crew because they had to scrap up the U$ dollars to pay someone.

    Because CFKC spends all her time trying to make a fairy story reality instead of running the country. Their national fairy story should have been 'Wee Willy Winky' it would have been job done.

    “”“We will see who is crying when you are all begging us for food.”“”

    i'm not sure this comment came out the way you intended.... if somebody like the US was desperate for food they'd just take it off you.... it's not like you've got a military to stop them.

    As such I am pretty sure that having a sensible government that understands economics, avoids pointless public ranting and abides by international law, would do a LOT more for Argentines and Argentina than a government that shoots its mouth off a lot and, in the process, shoots its own feet off also.

    (a bit like your rant above really....)

    If your president hadn't shot her mouth off this situation wouldn't have turned into such a problem for her...and Argentina.

    The U.S. corn surplus on August 31 will be larger than previously estimated as farmers begin harvesting early after a warmer-than-usual spring in the Midwest, and as more wheat is used to feed livestock, according to reports.
    Unsold supplies will come to 801 million bushels, up from the average estimate of 715 million bushels, though still down from 2011's 1.128 billion bushels, said U.S. Department of Agriculture data. “The USDA is saying that rising wheat supplies will bridge the gap in corn supplies before the U.S. harvest begins,” said Roy Huckabay, an executive vice president of the Linn Group. “Corn supplies are tight, and that will increase attention on crop conditions and weather forecasts the next three months.” Corn futures for May delivery fell 1.4 percent to $6.49 a bushel On April 9 on the Chicago Board of Trade. The commodity has dropped 16 percent in the past year on forecasts that world wheat reserves will rise to the highest since 2002.
    Estimates say that 4.6 billion bushels of corn will be used for animal feed, 5 billion for ethanol and 1.7 billion for exports. Global corn consumption will reach 867.29 million tons, an increase from 848.06 million last year, according to the USDA.

    Also, go google how much of the surplus we give away FREE, unless argentina selling all their's......is they still can in a few months.

    I don't need light....you do becasue you're in the dark most of the time. Remains the same the the USA is the number 1 country that “gives” away food. Argentina gives away flatuence.....try hiding your light there......argentina's source of gas. In fact....with gas shortages in the future.......maybe all you RG's can band together for a methane gas facility???

    What can you expect from the mouthpiece for the people that sank their our country's economy, the USA. I have talked to dozens of people whose life savings and pension funds were evaporated overnight. No one has gone to jail and no one “fund” is filing law suits over their trajedy. Then our courts pursue other nations instead. Something's not right here.

    Oh my, what a pretty picture argentina is :))))
    “Standard & Poor's recently cut Argentina's long-term sovereign credit rating, and may cut it again.”, and theres the golden ticket, nobody is going to borrow them money for a very long time, all the while argentina goes tits up, and its not even on pay per view free for the world to see.
    but wait... whats this..... instead of trying to sort their house in order, they aim towards The Falklands yet again by sending her disciples to go forth and multiply spreading her lies over The falklands referendum.
    well done Crustina im glad you have your priorities in place, come march while The falklands are eating cake they will be watching you eat your words followed by a huge slice of the humblest of pies.

    A slight detour here. Has anyone else read about the oil discovery in Paraguay, just north of the border with Argentina. This should really be interesting how it plays out with asslips kirchner. All her neighbors are not just passing Argentina by, they a running past Argentina.

    @19 as we speak a map Argentina is drawing up a map showing how paraguay is on the same continental shelf as argentina and that paraguans are implanted peoples on land that was promised to argentina by the king of spain, and how an argentine once visited paraguay , anyone who helps paraguay will be sued in non existent courts,
    lookout paraguay you havent got protection against the argentine expanionist machine.

    @22 They are argentinas elected choice, nobody else to blame they voted a populist they got one.
    like the uk, i never voted cameron but we have to take responsibility for any consequences the UK gets while hes in office,
    The majority of argentina are responsible for electing her and ultimately the mess they are in, its up to them to decide how far they are willing to let argentina fall.
    for the blatant disregard by argentina for The falklands human rights past and present, i have no love loss, the harder argentina falls the better.

    and just before i sign off, i like to end on a higher note...

    @2 Good selection of a name. You certainly are. This may come as a surprise but there are more than 192 other states in the world. What we want we can get from them. Here's a thought. You reckoned you could bludgeon the little Falklands into submission using economics. How's that going?

    Talk about a reach and stretch in that comparison. While democrats may tend to redistribute wealth at a much smaller scale, they are not authoritarianists or populists, let along crushing criticism by dismantling the press and seeking perpetual seats in power. Nor do they seek state capitalism or have an indoctrinated youth movement by the likes of la campora. Stop taking the drugs they give you and focus on argentina falling apart faster than white being on rice.

    Poppy, This multi nick thing seems very common with the other paid trolls. Look at TTT, Nozzy, Arifu(sp) etc.Then there's Think/Dover et al.

    I would just think it is one of them, wanting to post their more vulgar childish thoughts. Even if Sussie is a distinct multi-persona, it's typical Troll behaviour - they have to post at any cost!!

    Good question Alex !! Certainly Argentinians should find out what happened to the $600m that mysteriously disappeared off the books from Santa Cruz province while the Kirchner Kouple were running it.
    And not even an investigation from them.
    Something fishy there, and its not just CFK's drawers.
