    Mexico free trade with USA brought them a lot of US made guns for terrorists who murder people at an alarming rate in mexico, I don't think Argentina has anything to benefit from, when the risk of murder is soo high, as an Argentine I am now worried that Mexico's intentions have a USA made agenda when you see them take actions for cars but ignore terrorists armed by USA. I would never trust a Mexican regime with those values if you do you must be very very stupid. I hear the Mexico USA great wall is going to get bigger as free trade gets better, how else will they protect US wages?

    Yes, you got us, we actualy were planning to invade economically Argentina and then invite either hezbollah or some other “terrorist group” to deal with US. only before invading Canada with US help, our evil plan is there out for all to see :D, Sigh what a bunch of idiotic things I am reading. Now I get why our enterperneurs prefer to have deals with Asia, there is just trade and that is it.

    Well, this treaty surprised me but not much, I am ok with this. After all it helps to keep a good relationship between our countries, and the Pacific Alliance is gowing in trade agreetments too, I just hope we can help Paraguay and Uruguay have more options and for Mercosur and Pacific Alliance to work togeter for all the region.

    where did they dig Argentina Industry Minister Debora Giorgi up from? I mean the woman looks like an extra from the “The Walking Dead”

    Either that or she is an escapee from a labour camp.......... I always thought that no one could look more “Living dead” than Ol' Turkey Neck... Now I can see that I was wrong.

    Do not take it personal “Elena”. As you probably know, Argentina is waging a legitimate fight to survive across all trade fronts (European Union, United States, Canada, Mercosur, Brasil, China, Australia, Panama, Uruguay, Mexico, Colombia, Russia, etc).

    The problem is everyone wants Argentina to allow imports indiscriminately and erradicate any local production in Argentina, sending our unemployment to the stratosphere and destroying our economy. After that a piece-meal subjugation/annexation of the country would ensue.

    We of course cannot permit that, thus Argentina is in the grip of a very circumspect and leery form of xeno-aversion. There is total and systematic distrust of anything or anyone alien or extraneous to our society given the pernicious nature of past encounters.

    Are all these Argentine politicians auditioning for some new zombie film to earn extra cash?
    A new Argentine film may see zombies advancing across the Falklands 'kicking out the pirates'- 'Malvinas Zombies' Even in a film where the Argentine directors have control over the plot, in true Argentine style after the Zombies have disposed of the British Armed forces dressed in redcoats, they will be blown to smithereens with their own mines.

    Why can't you ever actually make a cogent statement??

    Why can't you ever respond to a question?

    What does Argentina do if we open our borders and allow all imports without restriction, and then unemployment goes to 30%? What do we do then??

    6 I agree completely in keeping tabs on imports if it´s indeed neccesary for the economy, I just dont think all the countries you made mention of are as malicious as you could think, that´s all. For example, for Uruguay trade with Argentina is esential as well as with Brazil, same with Paraguay, and their size and actual economic development certainly precludes them from dominating either Argentina´s or Brazil´s market . So I dont really see the need to make an enemy out of them especially if they are part of mercosur.

    In fact that is why I was surprised with this news, I really thought Mexico and Argentina were to terminate any contract or maybe change it from cars to other products. I dont see this as a bad thing really, I am just surprised.

    Why the “ Elena” just curious :)

    Really, and with all due respect, whatever it was that Mexico agreed to with Argentina regarding trade agreements, it is irrelevant, at least for Mexico, it is just a drop of water in our bucket. Mexico exports more manufactured products than the rest of Latin America put together. And Mexico imports also more too. Mexico imports more than 300 billion USD.

    Its called an inferiority complex .HoweverArgentina's woes have been caused by themselves with no help from anyone else=self inflicted harm.

    Argentina has not got the common sense to look back and analyse, why were we a very successful country around 1900?

    Hence the need to bully the Falkland Islanders, which to your credit, you are against.

    Looking back and analyzing past plans and actions, review and adjust is the first thing a competent leader does.......but the key word there is competent.

    heh, if unitiy was that easy to obtain all the world would already be united and then today´s world would be better.

    Mexico has no trouble with neither Argentina, Chile or Brazil or Latam in general but yes, we could certainly be more united, I think this treaty and the ones Mexico has with Uruguay and Brazil as well with the entire Pacific Alliance and Central America has something to do with it. we would be stuborn in ignoring today´s geopolitic reality especially when our whole region can benefice from it ;)

    Thought this would happen as soon as the already lame-duck administration that began this “dispute” had left office. Good news coming thick and fast for Cristina these days, no? =)

    You and her both love it thick and fast. I was right when I said the best of you was running down moms thighs when dad got up and ran off from her.
