A major conflict could be brewing between Argentina and Brazil after Rio’s Vale decided to cancel a 6 billion dollars potash development project in Mendoza and the Argentine Labour minister issued a mandatory conciliation which actually impedes implementation of the closing down decision.

Mar 16th, 2013 - 10:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0They may still be employed, but do they get paid?
Mar 16th, 2013 - 10:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Argentine usurper government seem keen to exploit natural resources in South America as quickly as possible. Do they have plans to hand the pace back to the natives and go home, once they have stripped the place bare?
de vido, one of the senior idiots of the ck gang was wrong as usual: not vale wanted to pay losses with arg money but the other way: arg wanted to cash in vale´s money to pay arg´s losses.
Mar 16th, 2013 - 10:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0Teaboy2, it is in 3D. The original movie wasn't but this is a remake of a remake.
Mar 16th, 2013 - 11:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0Same ending though. *****SPOILER ALERT******
The whole thing ends in a financial meltdown. The first time around they invaded the Falklands, crashed and burned and the government lost power.
The next remake left out the invasion part but still had the financial meltdown and loss of power.
Not sure which direction they'll take with this one.
So stop hogging the popcorn stick it up your junta and shove over.
CFK was counting on the lovely Vale U$ entering the Arg banking system from Brazil. Now they're gone, poof.
Mar 16th, 2013 - 11:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0Bah, don't worry it only a few more U$ Billions to make up.
Cut out some more cancer medicine we can't have the majority of the populations going cold this winter.
I think they still only have 75% of the needed LNG to make it through the winter
brr
Dilma will make sure no cars get across the border. GM and Ford will accelerate their departure.
I will laugh and laugh
You would think that any 'government minister' (oxymoron for the morons in argieland) would have done their best at ensuring AR commitments were met and the project encouraged to carry on.
Mar 16th, 2013 - 02:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So what do this lot do 'issue a mandatory conciliation order'. I bet Vale isn’t stupid enough to pay the 'workers' though.
And if La Think, the bitter and twisted old woman of Chubut, 'thinks' that Rousseff will stand by and let possibly the most important company in Brasil be badgered by a bunch of little crooks aka the argie government without doing anything about it, 'she' is mistaken as usual.
Vale didn't show up for the “manadory” meeting yesterday. I wonder if they have any U$ left in the country for the Rgs to “lawfully” seize “FOR THE GOOD OF THE WORKERS”
Mar 16th, 2013 - 03:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Dilma Dilma Dilma...who's side will you be on...your country's business for a crazy women?
I think we all know the answer to that question
I wonder if Iran wants to talk it over
hahaha
Good for Mendoza, our economy does not need polluting mining. Many of our economic sectors depend on a pristine environment.
Mar 16th, 2013 - 04:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Diego, I think your gov't would disagree with you. The Governor has been whining screaming and carrying on since the announcement.

We are not north americans or europeans, plundering, decimating, and depredating all resources, life, and purity of vast stretches of this earth, leaving behind barren, plutonian landscapes of deforestation, open-pit mining, animal extinction, and radiation.
Mar 16th, 2013 - 04:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The economic sectors of Mendoza need U$ to be successful.
Mar 16th, 2013 - 04:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Now, with $6b less $$$ coming in, higher unemployment, there will less to support the “other economic sectors”
What will happen to Mendoza? How many Havannas have to close, for trolls to recognise their economy is imploding?
De Vido is doing a great job of ensuring that Vale and other foreign investors are discouraged from anymore $6b investments in Argie land.
But you do bring in non-native species to decimate the land for you.

@John Troll the 3rd Says “Good for Mendoza, our economy does not need polluting mining. Many of our economic sectors depend on a pristine environment”
Mar 16th, 2013 - 04:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Not quite what worldwide governmant think they see it as a land of criminals.
“Con-men have been known to rob tourists while an accomplice pretends to help remove ketchup or mustard that has been 'accidentally' sprayed on them. Another common tactic is slitting handbags in crowded places and snatching mobile phones while they are being used.
Passport thefts are common especially in Buenos Aires and Mendoza. Leave your passport in a hotel safe or security box and keep a photocopy of the details page with you at all times.”
We need, more than never, protect São Paulo State and our industrial facilities. That is a price for peace.

@10 Oh, goody. According to wiki, a quarter of Mendoza's “economy” is already based on mining. The argie way. “Politics” over reality. Incidentally, no-one wants your lemons either! Mendoza is undoubtedly one of the 23 retard argie provinces. Fortunately, “evolution” has its “imperatives”. Retards die!

Mar 17th, 2013 - 07:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0Thanks for the link. I honestly had no idea about this.
I might not like the Argentine government but if even half of that is true it is devastating. Poor Argentina.
22. Dumb bunny Pythons weren't brought into Florida by its Governor but the beavers were in TDF and now they have them in Chile!
Mar 17th, 2013 - 01:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As I have said many times Rgs are not a smart people
@30 Yes, that's devastating. So I went and looked up Monsanto: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto And from there to Monsanto in Argentina: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto And from there to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto And from there to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto
Mar 17th, 2013 - 01:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So Monsanto provides these genetically-modified seeds. Then it provides pesticides/herbicides to spray over the crop and this can lead to infant deformation and other illnesses. At the same time, Monsanto provides a bovine growth hormone. The prime purpose of which is to increase milk production in dairy cattle. But it's also still present in the meat. And as I understand it, “mate cocido” in argieland may be made with or without sugar and milk. So that's another nice way to get some rBGH. Haven't I mentioned something before about crops and chemicals? And cattle and drugs? However, it seems that Monsanto et al don't get an easy ride in Europe. Apparently rBGH hasn't been allowed on the market. Is that why we still have minds and argies don't? And, vis a vis her “personal wealth”, how much “dosh” do we think Monsanto has given CFK? Another reason not to let the argies get their sticky, deformed little fingers on the Falklands. But just look in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto The argies already have “Malvinas Argentinas”. It's right there in Cordoba Province! And there's another one in Buenos Aires Province! It must be easy to get confused. Especially when you're a drugged-up, deformed psychotic. And so much for argie claims about their wonderful fruit, vegetables and animal products. They deform and they kill. Contact your political representative. End the EU-Mercosur talks. They are trying to poison and kill us. This must be biological and chemical warfare. No wonder CFK loves it!

Did you notice the lady at 12min saying she let her kids play under the plane while it is spraying pesticides!
As I have said many times they're not a smart people
How do all of you have so much patience to even response to toby, who seems relatively intelligence, but offset by his immaturity? The kid has to be a school age teen by the way he changes names. Now he thinks he found religion (no to be confused with God or a supreme being) because of Bergoglio.
Mar 17th, 2013 - 04:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I read Argentina's #1 industry, Auto manufacturing is down over 2% yoy. Gotta hurt when you are scrambling for U$ and now Vale pulling out. Toby never did answer is he is smarter than his leader.......lol

Mar 17th, 2013 - 07:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0She is becoming less noticeable by the day,
The world is less interested by the day,
And her new hope, the converted halo,
Will not sit on her head,
Basically CFK will soon become an irrelevance,
And Brazil, will just ignore her, and advance herself on the world stage,
Leaving behind her a big hole, that used to be argentina ..
Just a holy thought..

Probably not graduated, has no financial obligations like home ownership or kids, no employment (except carwash???), certainly has no business of his own which would make him aware if the economic forces at play.
Free WiFi at home, or his 'place of study', the local Havanna café and milk bar.
LOL, what a loser.
My children, I am witnessing the sad, furciferous specter of false transubstantiation. By describing your own existence of inadequate education, lack of personal achievement, boorish parochialism, and superannuated dependence on your progenitors, and imputing such condition on myself, it demonstrate an effect that is normally labelled as “projection”.

Indeed, Nostrils has given up any pretense of engaging in discussion, instead attempting to position himself above it so as not to continually show his severe lack of debating or arguing skills. He is a cyber fetal position offering the smallest target possible.
Pray away Toby, we'll all still be here tearing strips off your crumbling country. It is just one less troll spewing lies.
