Well that's the oil sorted out, now all they have to do is get it there and refine it.

That's a very familiar salute that the pair of them are doing in the top picture.

Think - I am still looking for a reference for your economic methodology. Can you point me in the right direction?
May 09th, 2013 - 10:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well, first there was British Kirchnerist, now there's Venezuelan Kirchnerist =) I'm confident the Argentine workers will listen to the wise advice of this great socialist and trade unionist, not the siren calls of the scab Moyano, and stick with the lovely Cristina =)
May 09th, 2013 - 11:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'm sure Cristina will be delighted at this, until Maduro says, by the way you owe us billions of US dollars. We expect payment by.....next Sunday.
May 09th, 2013 - 11:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Venezuelan people need that money for themselves, not to squander away on CFK.
Perhaps CFK believes that it will buy her time, but it's probably already too late. It's looking increasingly likely that she'll be out of office soon...

May 09th, 2013 - 01:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sounds to me like the man says whatever it takes. And given the disarray in which Argentina finds itself currently, I am not sure I would wish to be identified with its perpetrator and the “Widder Kirhner.”Looks like SHE's doing ok, though, no matter how many of her folks aree living on the streets of Buenos Aires.
May 09th, 2013 - 01:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#10 I don't think he'll pull the plug on his lovely comrade Cristina. On the other hand, if you guys' dream comes true and the old oligarchy come back in Argentina, maybe THEN he'll pull the plug and the bastards will be screwed; another reason for not bringing back the neoliberals methinks!

May 09th, 2013 - 02:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I though he said he is “Chavez”? ,voices in his head..... much?
They just spout whichever hero worship 'revolution' bollocks seems right at the time
May 09th, 2013 - 03:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0When he says “Kirchnerite, doe he mean ”I'm gonna Make myself RICH at YOUR expense“

”I'm going to RUIN our country!”
or both..?
@16- BK
May 09th, 2013 - 04:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So you are saying that Maduro should let his people starve so CFK can continue to feck up her own country, and stuff her own bank accounts?
Maduro isn't Chavez. He's weak, and all it'll take is a quiet word in his ear from the military, or a big push by the opposition (which may still overturn the result of the election), and he'll fold like a pack of cards.
Then it'll be “Argentina, we want our money NOW, with FULL interest.”
By the way, CFK screwed Argentina when she accepted the absurd interest rates Chavez demanded for the loans.
So not only will the PEOPLE of Argentina continue paying for the last default, they'll also have to pay for this default too.
And everyday the debt is delayed, the larger that debt gets.
@19 Anbar
I believe he means both.
“We have to thank God for having been part of that crusade of two giants of America, such where Nestor Kirchner and Hugo Chavez ...”
May 09th, 2013 - 04:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0(Maduro)
I am unsure whether Maduro includes Canada and the USA in 'America', if so, these two real giants knock the dead NK & the dead HC into the bottom division. There are any number of North Americans that tower over these two dead aberrant South Americans.
... And, considering most of Venezuela's trade is with the USA, calling George Bush 'the devil himself' does nothing for his country's trade needs.
It may be that the problem exemplified by this article is that it is illiterate in translation.
That may be a Mercopress problem, but my guess is that it is a Maduro problem and the original words are illiterate.
Elementary arithmetic teaches that 1 kichnerite president + 1 peronist president
May 09th, 2013 - 04:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0equals 1 president not “maduro.”

Looks to me like Maduro was angling to shag TMBOA just like the little bird did.
May 09th, 2013 - 04:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Wonder if he made it? Ugh, the mental picture.
I'm amazed by how stupid these people are.
May 09th, 2013 - 05:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So Kirchner and Chavez were “giants”. I trust he remembers that Chavez ruined Venezuela's economy, whilst Kirchner did much the same for argieland. Of course, Kirchner was “special”. Instead of just destroying the infrastructure and thinking up unnecessary grandiose “projects”, he stole as well. The new “era” has begun. Runaway inflation, massive debts, poverty. All good for the “population”. So Maduro is a Peronist and a Kirchnerite as well! As Steveu says “Fcuked!” Mercosur is, of course, already a “magnet” for the continent. Let's take a look. Aren't there more non-members than members? Especially now that it has shown it is anti-democratic, the “magnet” appears to be at the bottom of a drain!
May 09th, 2013 - 06:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“to the 200 years of history and the men who in these years have known how to confront events of history. Let us toast for our countries”. Good idea. Let's toast those men. Should we make a list of those “men” and women who have confronted the events of history and turned latin american “countries” into centres of excellence. For corruption, criminality, deparavity, genocide, incompetence, larceny, mendacity, stupidity, etc. Is Maduro starting to look like Stalin?
Aparently CFK has asked for a little shopping list,
May 09th, 2013 - 07:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 01, money
2, ships
3 planes
4, missiles
5, more money

he say,? Whats it worth to you ??????
So Think, let me get this right. You are suggesting that Joseph Stiglitz would suggest the right way to devalue the Argie Peso is for the Argie gvt and a few select producers (I assume you mean private ones as YPF is a basket case) to have a chat and come up with a number (I assume you mean a fixed rate otherwise there will be so many meetings that both your producers and gvt will get even crapper).
May 09th, 2013 - 10:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I say you have just plucked that bollocks out of the same thin air your gvt uses to inform policy.
Have you got the Marcos gene switched on today?
”I am the second Peronist president in Venezuela”.

@16 Or maybe they could look to Singapor, the free market country where the poorest are pretty wealthy and comfortable.
