Uruguay’s voice is much respected in international affairs and this can be attributed to the country’s foreign policy, although ‘it’s not only a merit of this administration but a long term achievement’, said President Jose Mujica on Thursday in a brief exchange with the media delegation covering events in New York.

I think he meant to say that Uruguay used to be much respected in international affairs. It's been gradually losing that respect ever since it became an argie doormat and mouthpiece. It's foreign minister, Almagro, seems to be fairly pro-argie. When it comes to the Falklands, I wonder whether they've ever researched the matter themselves. As most of us on here know, the argie “claims” are bunkum. And not assisted by the fact that argieland keeps changing the “facts”. Now, is it that Almagro and Mujica have trouble with the longer words, they just believe whatever argieland tells them and say what they are told to say, they are so frightened of argieland that they have no choice, or is it a case of supporting another latam state no matter what? None of those options would generate much “respect” for Uruguay. After all, Chile says one thing and does another. And we have done the research on here. Every argie “claim” has been refuted. Either its been a lie, or its been a lie. Does Uruguay believe that if it “steps out of line”, the argie army will march across the border? Has argieland browbeaten the whole of latam. I know we call her a harpy, but she can't really swoop down out of the sky and steal food from people's hands and befoul the rest. Or can she? Anyhow, this makes the Uruguayan government either stupid or cowardly. Or both. And who respects such a state?

Uruguay, under previous administrations WAS internationally favoured, certainly out of the cesspit that was SA and remains that way with many of the commie nations on the southern cone.

This old commie twat has done his best to screw that up big-time and he is succeeding, unfortunately.

Given an excellent financial position by Vasquez he has managed to piss that away on “social inclusion” aka the DOLE in the UK, the Pluna fiasco and allowing the likes of the monopolistic fuel supplier ANCAP to raise prices by almost 10% when spot prices are dropping.

But his crowning glory has been to roll over the debt he has caused after four years of his “rule” as he likes to think of his presidency, so that the next two generations will be paying for it.

A major disappointment for everybody except the lazy bastards he is financing to stay at home.

I can’t wait for hom to go and good riddance.

Must agree with that. Mujica will be a great ex-president as long as he is limited to gave public speeches.

Dear dear. Is it something in the SA air. Or perhaps its the spirits of all the exterminated SA Indians returning to drive the descendants of their oppressors mad

“Mujica a former urban guerrilla leader who in the sixties ... was running lose robbing banks, kidnapping diplomats and shooting police forces”

Boy-o a stateman the young Uruguayans really can look up to, like Billy the Kid, Scarface Al and John Dillinger.

Want to become a talent, Sonny? go rob a bank!
