    Today is “the ” day for the Mercosur life......

    If they don´t agree with the Paraguayan request the treaty will be broken, the EU won´t sign any free trade agreement with it, Paraguay will be integrated to the PA as observer now and as full member soon, the up coming Paraguayan oil & electricty availability will be outside the Mercosur, etc....

    These twats par excellence from Uruguay, Brazil and The Dark Country will attempt to blame Paraguay for its own self-inflicted wounds.

    I do hope that Brussels sticks to its guns and insists that Paraguay out of Mercosur is unacceptable.

    AND, now we are expecting the Cowpat to join FFS!

    Just what is it with this solidarity and brotherhood shite that they all spout when the facts are completely at odds with the claims?

    Imagine if Mercosur somehow cajoles Paraguay back into the fold, just to initiate trade relations with the EU, then they get screwed again with some other manufactured coup to sideline them.

    It's akin to being told “You will be pleased to know on 15th August we will re-infect you with mad cow disease”

    I don't know how any of the other members can keep a straight face over this fiasco.

    Very interesting that the “Presidents' Breakfast Meeting” started 2 hours late because “Her Majesty” CFK arrived 2 hours late!!!!!!!

    There is no way that a sensible country like Paraguay would want to relate to these losers!!!!!!

    The facial concrete must be high strength now if it takes that long to set, perhaps it's all the screaming TMBOA does!

    Just my opinion but ==

    Mercosur it seems to me, want to me another European union coupled with NATO ,
    And run by corrupt greedy ambitious people,

    Perhaps they wish a S.A.N//S.A.A.//S.A.A..
    South American army//navy//air force=
    Perhaps with a future decision to unite these factions to go against the Falkland’s,

    Perhaps the unmighty CFK wants this, to give her POWER to force her way of life on us..

    Just a thought..

    Can you imagine a united army of SA?

    There would be an almight fight between the top brass as to who was going to wear the hat with the feathers in it.

    Not to be left out the middle ranking officers would all want a chance to shoot a squaddie just for the hell of it like the argies did in 1982.

    The rank and file would just throw their rifles onto the floor and make a run for it.

    LOLs

    I think the SA army would lack serious decipline. I can't image a SA rifle company ordered to make a frontal assault or fight their way through an ambush. I can really see a fire team beginning to push through an attack in a bounding overwatch and the overwatch team hightails 180 degrees from the firezone. But then again, I can't image the first team actually beginning an advance. They are better used to kill their citizens than to defend them. Though, I can't even see them doing that these days.

    Well once they agree that the commander in Chief is to Argentinian in perpetuity, that the Head Quarters are to be based in BA and that the Flag should be blue and white with a sun emblazoned on it!

    Frankly, I do not see any problem with them forming such an alliance.

    You are right RC.....everyone has alliances, only theirs is closer to the USSR than NATO. But I've stated before, they are like children playing grownups. They do not want to play by accepted standards of the world, yet they want in on the trade business, they ant nothing to do with western democracy and demonize it openly for political purposes, but behind closed doors makes deals. Worst of all, they are out and out thieves and keep the poor poor. They claim everyone should have the same, but they live above them all. HANDOUTS FOR ALL....WHO NEEDS JOBS!

    Trouble is, we know it may fail,
    But do its leaders lol..
    Today apparently we hear the four south American countries are to withdraw their ambassadors from Europe..

    Still,

    Is this the start of an isolated South America.

    Stupid fools......why bring Paraguay back, they will only slowdown the progress we've made destroying South America. Though we really need to find a way to destroy that rat ass Pacific Alliance before they make too much forward progress.
