    According to Iran State News - the reason Argentina accused Iran, was because they were bullied by US and Israel.

    “Under intense political pressure imposed by the US and Israel, Argentina had formally accused Iran of having carried out the bombing attack”

    94 Argentinians are murdered and she links it to a sovereignty issue! The woman is not only corrupt, she's also morally corrupt. I am sorry to say, but justice seems to be a rare commodity in Argentina.

    The Jewish people in Argentina are obviously an inconvenience to the desperate ambitions of CFK.

    Just like the native Amerindians are an inconvenience when she wants their land, or the unions are an inconvenience when they refuse to blindly believe all the nonsense she spouts. Just like the Constitution is an inconvenience when it won't allow her to do just what she wants to do.

    And like all these inconveniences she just ignores them, and does what she wants anyway.

    But carry on CFK, cosy up to Iran. Isolate Argentina from the sensible world.

    You have just committed suicide for your country, as no one will lend you money, no one will trade 'desirable' items with you - in case you trade them with Iran.

    Poor Argentina, and I mean POOR; no money, no friends, no future.

    Jews are an integral part of Argentina's history. Buenos Aires had the largest population of Jews outside of New York and Israel at one time. And let us not forget the first Gauchos were Jews. Fleeing persecution in Russia they settled in Argentina and worked the land. You can see the influence in the traditional costumes in Gauchos.

    Still, if they are in the way of Nazi-style ambitions they will become non-people, like the Falkland Islanders and lumped into Timerman's 'Final Solution' he was bragging about yesterday.

    “Final Solution” Did ever two such words come together with such an horrendous meaning and memory!

    Just when you think it would not be possible for this man to come out with anything more crass and stupid, he resurrects these two words.

    What is more. he uses them in the right context. The means to an end of a territorial dispute.

    He is not just inept, he is criminally inept.

    I suppose we should be thankful for him really. Those two words are now going to be increasingly quoted and attributed to him in the coming discussions on the Islands.

    But don't worry, just imagine how much international support Argentina can gain now, by prostituting yourselves to Iran.

    Hurts, doesn't it Tobias? Your well crafted delusion of Argentina being akin to the Garden of Eden, and holding the moral high ground, is very difficult to maintain when all of its flaws are laid so nakedly to the world.

    Never mind, Tobias, go and bury your head in the sand, maybe that way, all the bad things happening in Argentina will 'magically' disappear.

    I think the 8/1 Peso is worrying a lot of people:

    Argentina’s central bank ordered foreign exchange brokers in the Electronic Currency Market to trade no more than $3 million per day, a 70 percent reduction from current volumes, newspaper Cronista Comercial reported, citing agents present in the meeting.
    Policy makers are seeking to drive trading into the Open Electronic Market, which can be monitored by central bank officials in real time, the Buenos Aires-based paper said.
    The goal is to have greater control over the supply and demand of dollars after the bank’s international reserves dropped about $700 million this year, Cronista said.

    14. When you expand the monetary supply 40% in one year and depreciate your “controlled” peso 20% there is nothing that can fix the problem.

    My guess is they're going to have a hard time finding the U$ to pay their fuel bill this year. YPF is not doing too well under gov't control, anyone surprised?

    When you have avowed Marxists in charge of the gov't you can't expect things to get better.
    Nothing will change until the gov't does
    and if history is any indicator
    it won't even change then
    Argentinians will not take the medicine they need to get better.
    This is why they went for Top 10 economies to #62 in 3 generations.
    Pretty soon they'll be on par with Paraguay and Bolivia

    WRONG. Argentines are not Spanish. They are not part of Spain, the nation that stole the land from the indians.

    And even if you wanted to get “technical” about it, as in genetics, most in Argentina are something other than Spanish. In fact, there is not one group that forms a “majority” at all. Back to school tards.

    @47

    I know I am speaking to complete haters and biased hacks but I'll throw this out anyway:

    This response encapsulates WHY I refuse to engage intellectually with any of you 98% of the time. Occasionally yes, I will engage in noetic colloquy with a few of you, but for the most part, when you are dealing with people that are so completely out to sea in terms of how the world really is or how things really are, it is pointless to get very cortical.

    What do I mean? Here we have a FURRRKING AMERICAN talking about other nations not having scrupules and trading with them out of convenience. Is anyone here capable of exhibiting even a gram of decency to agree with me that is some hypocrisy of the highest order?

    Which country has for DECADES propped up brutal dicators over an entire region so that their oil supply remain undisturbed? Which country sold their morals to the devil, arming fanatical religious extremist just to make things hard for their archenemy in Afghanistan in the 80s? What did those extremist turn around and do to them in 2001?

    It is exactly this behavior, in this case by an American, but there are other examples by the British, or mainland Europeans, that makes me cringe and why you are losing an entire generation of young argentines from ever being friendly to you people.

    Young people of my generation DETEST hypocrisy. You people simply don't seem to get it, and still believe you can fool us with such utterly asinine comments.

    Maybe someone with a quater-brain will read this and acknowledge I do have a furking point.

    You can claim whatever you want, the stereotype of English people (not just from England), and buck teeth and the like is well known. Just like Italians or Jews and aquiline noses, the Germans and their mandibules, the French and their armpits, etc, etc.

    So you are talking stereotypes and I am talking first hand experience. I wonder which you thin is more accurate.
    BTW I have been to London a bunch of times and don't remember seeing anyone with super bad teeth.
    I definitely have seen worse in BA and PDE.
    Dirty teeth on top of smoke and coffee does not make it pleasant to talk to someone.

    @80 Nostrolldamus You talk about teeth what about your hairy women,I could not believe it when I stepped of the cruiseliner the Argentine women were so hairy,why don't they shave.

    79 yoli_99 Still think it's sad my cleaner can not say her real nationality because she is ashamed of Crissy Kirchner and belive me no British would serve tables for $2 per hour thats why we have an influx of East Europeans here in the UK,are you sure they weren't well educated Mexicans serving tables????

    My first hand experience tells me all I said is true, you are a moron for thinking I've not seen TONS of brits, germans, french, italians, spaniards, etc in Mendoza. And yanks too... you can spot them from 10 blocks away, badly dressed and wide load. lol

    @83 Nostrolldamus the ???

    You are one of the most pathetic and immature posters here.

    You are like a young child in the school playground that is having a tantrum because it cannot get its own way.

    You tell us all the time that you have such great wisdom and an indisputable grasp of facts.

    You use childish insults against posters you do not agree with.

    You make stupid generalisations just to suit yourself.

    Your great experience - “My first hand experience tells me all I said is true, you are a moron for thinking I've not seen TONS of brits, germans, french, italians, spaniards, etc in Mendoza.”

    You say - 98% of the posters on these threads to not warrant a reply from your good self, what egotistic crap!

    You say - I will not discuss anything to do with Argentina with any of you, more egotistic crap!

    But the truth is, you make all these comments because you have no longer have any debating skills of any kind. !!!!!!!!!!!!

    By the way, Why are we not allowed to debate any issue that is not to do with the Falkland Islands ?

    Toby, Where would you come in contact with TONS of foreigners? I lived in BA for many years, spent most of my time in bars and clubs, and I never ran into TONS of foreigners.
    I remember hanging out with College kids from Australia, UK and the USA and lots of South Americans but I can't recall any other nationalities in great number. Even the ones I met the groups were no larger than 4-5 and they were college kids so not really a good representation of a whole country.
    Also you talk of ALL THE USA retirees in Mendoza, are there more than 100 families? I highly doubt it.
    You are nothing more than a poor under-educated kid from a poor backwards province in a poor backward country in a poor backward continent. You'll never know anywhere else and will only get your opinions through a computer screen. It is sad.

    It is true that a number of wealthy people from the USA have bought up prime wineries in Mendoza. Maybe that is what TTT is referring to. Land is cheaper there than the Napa Valley.

    The times I have been in Mendoza there were hardly any tourists about - though I mostly travel out of season if I can arrange it. This time I shall be there at a busier time so maybe I shall encounter TONS of tourists. I doubt it though.

    @88

    “spent most of my time in bars and clubs”

    How am I not surprised.

    Mendoza is the best province from the best country in the Americas. Yes USA maybe weathier, Brazil more vibrant, Chile more reliable, Canada safer... but Argentina is in top 3-5 in wealth, safety, reliability of travel. It may not be #1 in all, but in the USA you have no culture, in Chile it is boring as a doorknob, in Brazil completely unsafe... Argentina has a combination of all of the good things. Sucks for your narrative.

    Difference with me is I don't have to lie about being magnificently wealthy to feel either important, entitled, or as a tactic to blow off debate. You and the others here use it as you lone shield to say “we have money we've seen things you haven't”... but the truth is you are all LIARS. You are not rich, you have not travelled, and you pretend you do on a remote website online.

    PATHETIC.

    89. Elaine, I have heard there are an awful lot of wineries for sale right now in Mendoza and they're all having problems finding buyers. RG wine sales to the USA are dropping like a rock since we are taxing them higher now.

    Toby, I don't lie. For the time I was living in BA I was basically an investor I didn't really work so I spent a lot of time at restaurants, bars and clubs. I particularly liked the Jockey Club both downtown and San Isidro during the day but would go out at night to places a little more lively. I know people in your country you only read about.

    BTW Mendoza is not anywhere near the top 5 of wealth or safety and certainly not reliability of travel if that is even something that is measured. I would point you to the 100s of cars still stranded trying to get to Chile or into Argentina RIGHT NOW. Gads you are stupid.

    From what I remember she claimed to live in something that looked like public housing in Tempe Az,
    You can tell by her mental capacity and tenuous grasp of the English language she can't live anywhere decent in the USA. I doubt very much she has ever left Villa 31 near Retiro.

    In Argentina there is a lot of people who think this guy (Timerman) is an idiot. Only the “kirchnerists” say good things about him.
    But, even when I know he's an idiot, it always amazes me!
    He's so ignorant, that he could be a character in a comedy film. But it would be a horror film, since I live here in Argentina.
    CFK's pseudo-fascist government is clearly approaching nazi ideology. That's bad, but at least she's acting what she thinks...
