Oct 30th, 2013 - 11:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yawn, the deal is that the Carribbean states support Argentina's Falklands claim after which as per usual Argentina will then renege on any promises and stab the Carribbean nations in the back.
It's the same scratched record, g'dum, g'dum, g'dum, g,dum.
Well a little bird told me that that the Argie client state wants to twitter in the Carribean. Beware Caricom! You need a very long spoon to sup with the Devil. Whats at the back of all this? The isolation by the Argies of thier great rival, but of course thier fraternal brother Brazil by surrounding them with client states such as Guyana, Surinam et al
Oct 30th, 2013 - 02:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Timerman is fine tuning his exit strategy as it's not long to go now before having to leg it. All those lovely tax havens and low tax jurisdictions in CARICOM. Yummy. And they have bread.

@3, 4, 5 You are such cynics. Are you not waiting for the revelation of the “vision”? I have a little problem remembering whether argieland is a “motherland” or “fatherland” this week. Let's go with “Vaterland”. Or, as we say in Britain, “Farterland”. Check out any number of full-length photographs of WW2 Nazi officers and you can see the origin of the phrase “All mouth and trousers”. Should we take account of research that says that more than 9,000 Nazi war criminals escaped to South America? Although it has been suggested that it was 300,000 or more. And, in either case, most to argieland. Shouldn't we consider argieland to be the “Fourth Reich” and take appropriate action? Obliterate it!
Oct 30th, 2013 - 03:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina have obviously told the Caribbean nations “We do things better than ALBA”.
Oct 30th, 2013 - 04:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Righttttt.
No conq just practical.. it would be nice to hope that present RG government will disappear up its own ozone hole shortly but that's not going to happen just now
Oct 30th, 2013 - 04:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A lot of fine words and glib phrases, but what exactly does it translate to in action.
Oct 30th, 2013 - 07:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Difficult to see what exactly Argentina brings to the table here, increased trade perchance, not.
“On that occasion it would be the intention of Minister Timerman to refer to the political situation in the region and to convey the vision of the Argentine Government on this matter.”
I’m sure they will await his insightful visions into the situation, with baited breath.
They just need to watch it if he starts blithering about “South American continental shelves, bearing in mind most of them are on one.
CFK will be gone soon,
Oct 30th, 2013 - 07:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0so why bother ??
And Timmerman will thank them for allowing him to talk rubbish in yet another hell hole.
