The campaign began due to the infestation of Argentine rodents in ’82 and their successful eradication. This is the culmination with removal of the smaller four legged rats.

That's the answer to all of The Dark Country's problems!!!

Drop 15 million suitably distributed poison pellets to eradicate the Peronistas infesting The Dark Country.

I don't know why it was not thought of before.

Beef....I believe their plan of action is to cry. long, hard and loud enough with hopes of world wide pity.
marcos, you can't even use your military against your own people anymore let alone to make an attempt at the ultimate theft in asslips kirchner's mind...........the British Falklands.
You can steal your citizens private pensions
You can steal your citizens U$
You can steal oil companies
You can steal railways
You can steal farmers grains

I really would love to see you attempt those islands.

BTW marcos......does eradicating the British from their islands mean you RG's have developed your version of the “Final Solution”.......genocide planning? Is this what you learned from harboring WWII nazi's?

“English eradication campaign next”

As with every other Argentine government policy, this one has also been a massive failure.
