What would Moreno know about respect or friendship? He's a crook. Having meetings with a loaded gun on the table is not respect or friendship.

Time and time again they show their ignorance by giving matches to children.
They never learn.
Still
As long as those children don’t burn her house down, why should she care..
I bet she had to go to The Dark Country after upsetting Michelle.

LOLs
I have just found out Argentina and the United States have any meaningful relations. Not many argentines at all care however.

Of course not many Argentines care about international relations. The are too busy trying to find work or feed their family with sky inflation or avoid being poisoned by the soy industry oravoiding the brown shirts patrolling shops or wondering if their employer is about to pull out of the country or worrying if their assets, whether they be wheat or US$, are about to be confiscated by their own government.
The last thing they are thinking about are other countries unless they are trying to plan on which one to emigrate to like the million other Argentines that have left in the past 10 years.
But Martinéz shows why 'diplomatic' is an adjective for being tactful.

If I were CFK I would be a little bit more tactful toward the USA.
What gets me is how many times Argentina p1sses off the US and still Obama loves South America, and is cool towards the Brits who support the USA a lot more than Argentina.

I do not understand why you do not put your own officials. After all, a more corrupt administration than the current UK government would be hard to find.
