@1 Beggars cant be choosers, and at the moment mercosur is selling the big issue and needs every country it can get to join, dictatorships and all.

Who will leave power first? CFK or Chavez?
Dec 07th, 2012 - 01:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He is back in Venezuela but not revealing much about his condition.
Dec 07th, 2012 - 01:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No doubt his position will stiffen up in time ??.
Dec 07th, 2012 - 01:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think he is in his death march mode
Dec 07th, 2012 - 02:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Now 'alternates' such as Foreign Ministers are given presidential decision making rights at Mercosur meetings, the organisation does not need the presidents to attend.
Dec 07th, 2012 - 03:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The thing to watch is just how quick they can propose and agree that all Chavez's ALBA states can become full Mercosur members.
Proposed and Agreed within 30 seconds ???
.... a perfect storm, where the inmates complete their take-over of the asylum.
Even for them it will be a shambles! Paraguay would be better off with Chile, rather than re-admitted to Mercosur, wouldn't they??
Dec 07th, 2012 - 03:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0how many countries are not part of this mercosur club.
Dec 07th, 2012 - 06:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0that could come together.
Chile is not, nor Colombia, Suriname, Gyuana, Bolvia , Ecuador and Peru and of course the outcast....Paraguay.
Dec 07th, 2012 - 07:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0enough to form a club perhaps.
Dec 07th, 2012 - 08:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hell you think think with the bullies in the mercosur madhouse they would want to have their own club and tell mercosur to kiss off

Dec 08th, 2012 - 01:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0Jota's good, Bras., but your gung ho YouTube Unasur 'defense games' is just that - games.
Dec 08th, 2012 - 10:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Unasur 'games' in B.A. last year showed the limitations of the materiel but, more importantly, the limitations of integration on the 'battlefield'.
I always come back to the same question ... who are you defending yourself from?
I always come back to the same answer ... South American civilians.
@19 Brassiere
Dec 08th, 2012 - 04:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Thanks for the comedy, I did appreciate the ‘soldiers’ rolling around on the beach in unison carrying FA SLR’s – it really was funny.
Likewise the planes. How do you propose to support all the variants with the different pylon capabilities? Have a ‘pick ‘n mix’ solution I bet!
And the dress uniforms! Bet a lot of chickens died to give up their feathers to be worn by another bunch of chickens pretending to be a fighting force. Ha, ha, ha.
But it’s not all bad. I did see a very few tidy MBT’s. Couldn’t tell which country they came from but don’t worry yourself, the Brits will find out when they are knocked out by the Javelin Medium Range Anti-tank Guided Weapon and the two man crew. Deadly up to 2.500 m at can lift the turrets of UNASURs MBTs with no trouble at all.
Final question, this was uploaded over three years ago, do you some current comedy films about this bunch of Muppets?
LOLs
Brassiere's war games look cute and dandy..........all the way up to when there is an opposition to them. As Geoff asks....who are they defending from.......only civilians when they see through the bullshit.

Dec 09th, 2012 - 11:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yep, very cute, very nice to look at. They should carefully put them back in their boxes, when they've finished showing them off, would be shame to break them.
Fascinating though, the only member with any real war fighting experience (against a real enemy) was Argentina. I am sure they would be willing to share their expertise!
How to fight and lose in one easy lesson!
Saddam Hussein's military at the time (1st gulf war) was like the 4th largest and was of unknown integrity, but had spend a 8 years fighting Iran, so they were war harden troops. But in they end, it meant nothing just as they utube means nothing. So brassiere, stop showing military scenes and saying peace. The Falklands are NOT south america's.......get over it.
