A whole speech without mentioning the elephant in the room.

I guess they are expecting so much to change with the elephant that, by next December, the elephant will have disappeared like the morning mist.

In the meantime a constipated elephant is easy to ignore.
The up-coming process of de-constipation is not one anybody would wish to be around.

What are the odds that they end up proceeding as some form of 2 speed murcosur, i.e. without Argentina?

Sadly, Pugol, I think it might have to be a five-speed Mercosur, with certain parties forever in economic-suspension - just for the protocol, and the face-saving that Mercosur still exists.
As Mercosur can be 'whatever we want it to be', there can be political parity and coherence (pigs might fly), but 5-speed economic 'parity'.

But are there not TWO elephants in the room?

One a “Bull” with a little bird on it's shoulder and the other a “Cow” with the brains removed (the clot).

I have the answer though: 0.600” Nitro Express, double barrel elephant gun!
