The present bunch of numbnuts “ruling” SA couldn’t agree who would wear the feathered hat at a meeting nevermind what to say to the EU.
It will probably be another seventeen years if Argentina: spending other people’s money since 1810 © RICO 2013 has anything to do with it.
These presidents are so moronic it makes my teeth hurt thinking about them.
You can't negotiate trade agreements with those who just want this and that and won't give up anything and insist on creating their own little worlds.

Argentina just can´t survive with raw products alone, but that´s the only thing it´s competitive, so to sign a FTA with a first world country would make Argentina even more dependent on raw products than it is now. To make matters even worse, since Argentina is shut down from debt, Argentina would be force to reduce wages to below Chinese levels or else quickly run out of dollars... which would be unacceptable.

Huh? Is the the 2nd-string, non-fluent Bizarro operator saying the Chavist states are 'equal to the dead'????
Closer to the truth than they realise.
