    “Chubby Saddam” has bitten off more than he can chew, looking forward to seeing him swinging from a lampost!

    Well either there's a conspiracy of intelligence services to manufacture this shit stirring recording, or a conspiracy against Maduro by Socialist leaders who have sadly become treacherous, which unfortunately has happened before in the history of socialism (Moyano turning on Cristina, the SSP leadership turning on Tommy Sheridan, the list goes on and on!). Whichever conspiracy it is, I expect it to fail =)

    Chavismo being destroyed from the inside.

    That didn't take long thankfully.

    I see nothing in the Capriles comments here that is not self-evident.
    Moreno will have to give a lot to the military if he is to survive his first year as president.

    #5 Maduro, not Moreno. Though who knows, maybe they'll be a President Moreno in Argentina =)

    When the 'good' Argentines wake up and hang TMBOA they not going to miss the other twats. Mind you some people have worked out more than 5,000 needs to disappear from the laughably called government to clean all the crap out of the stables, so to speak.

    #7 What do you mean, 5,000, so you mean 5,000 people? And what do you mean “disappear”, sounds ominous in the context!

    I'd say that you need to remove more than 5,000 government employees to de-nazify... I mean de-Kirchnerismo the government.

    Less democratic countries always have problems understanding that the public service should be apolitical.

    #9 At least you seem to be suggesting sacking them, but “dissappearing” them in this context suggests Chris was thinking of something more sinister...

    Getting rid of 5,000 Peronistas who had an active part in the complete fuck-up of Argentina is nothing compared to the good it will do.

    I've just realised something quite odd; you are more in the (worst) traditions of Lenin Trotsky and Stalin than I am!

    But they shot the GOOD GUYS, including ALL the army officers and ended up with twats like Nikita Khrushchev who served as 'Leader' in Stalingrad.

    The only thing these commie twats ever did was fcuk everything up: that is why they are no longer in power.

    It's the obvious answer to the problem: at least they won't be coming back from the 22.
