Fortunately the “two yuan whore” was comforting the blood clot that is shortly to take over from her and was unavailable for a meeting.
Letting a wolf into the hen house,
Oct 31st, 2013 - 08:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Could be CFK biggest mistake
Or
Our worst nightmare…
depending on ones point of view..
Be a nice day out for the argies, “look look mummy, these ships float and don't have a white flag”!
Oct 31st, 2013 - 08:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Wow!
Nov 01st, 2013 - 01:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0After thousands of years of seafaring, the Chinese finally got to the bottom of South America.
Anyone want to accuse me of distorting the truth!!!
Isn't it nice for the Argentinians to see a navy that actually works.
Nov 01st, 2013 - 07:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0I've got no problem with the Chinese visiting Argentina. Brazil, Uruguay and Chile should be more worried.
The Type 052C destroyer is equipped among it's offensive assets with the HN-2 land attack cruise missiles. Warheads in the range of 20-90 kilotons. So that is a Nuclear ARMED vessel. Shouldn't CFK be screaming about now? Next time she wines about our Nuclear POWERED vessels we should immediately remind her that they seem happy with Nuclear Armed ships.
Nov 01st, 2013 - 08:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0Getting an invasion fleet together, are we RGs?
Nov 01st, 2013 - 10:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0You can't do it, so you'll have to farm it out.
Nuclear armed ships too, no less.
What a nation of lying hypocrites you Argentines are!
I wonder if they'll keep it in port to make sure Argentina pays back their loans?
Nov 01st, 2013 - 11:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0“China's Popular Liberation Navy”
Nov 01st, 2013 - 11:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0Or China's PEOPLE'S Liberation Army Navy.
Anyway, glad to see China is doing the rounds.
Good job it is not flying the FALKLANDS flag. I bet they want to have some R&R in The FALKLANDS, you know they do.
Nov 01st, 2013 - 01:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Let's do the sensible thing and protect South American non-proliferation. Sink Chinese nuclear-armed vessels. Just to show we can!
Nov 01st, 2013 - 05:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@7 I was going to say the same thing these vessels can be or are? fitted with Nuclear land attack cruise missiles, where's all the screaming about no nucs in the SA two faced bastards
Nov 01st, 2013 - 07:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@#10- Anglotino - You are so right! The standard English translation for the PLA is People's Liberation Army (or in this case the PLA Navy). Given China's ethnic diversity, some say it should be Peoples' Liberation Army. Although “popular” can refer to “people” as an adjective, whether the PLA is “popular” in the sense of being “regarded with favor, approval, and affection” is another matter; just ask the Tibetans, Uyghurs, and China's neighbors
Nov 01st, 2013 - 07:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0'Vessels from China's Popular Liberation Navy docked .. in Buenos Aires'
Nov 01st, 2013 - 08:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0For whom is this Navy 'popular'?
When did the Navy become 'liberated'?
Why can't it just be the 'Chinese Navy'?

It might get confused with Taiwan. :o)
I thought the Taiwanese were the popular, liberated ones. Ironic.
Nov 02nd, 2013 - 03:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Perhaps that's why the communist/dictatorships always call themselves ...
'The Democratic Republic of ..'.

Nov 02nd, 2013 - 06:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, it is funny how all the communists are/were (East Germany) masters of Orwellian New Speak!
In 200 years time , the few remaining Argies will be mulling over every minutae of this visit , when the ship arrived , who was on it , what they said , in exactly the way they worry about what Vernet had for breakfast when HMS Clio turned up...Who cares ?????
Nov 04th, 2013 - 06:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Chinese are colonizing Argentina . It actually began 30 years ago .
Being a dictatorship , they can take a 50 year view of things , and they are after the breadbasket , or what's left of it
They are now modernising the railways , which ironically is how the Brits got in there , and doing so for exactly the same purpose , to transport agricultural produce to the ports and on to China .
They are slowly but surely building a monopoly on food distribution in the capital and now their warships are paying visits .
They'll donate dredgers next , to keep the River Plate and Parana navegable for Chinese bulk carriers , then technical “ experts ” will turn up to “ advise ” in every field connected with shipping grain to China .
While winding all the Nationalists up about the Falklands , the Kirchnerites are selling out the country to foreign interests .
My God! This usurping pirate sounds just like me!
