Disclaimer & comment rulesI am certain she will make a defiant speech and all the other leaders will make sympathetic noises whilst offering no monetary support. Why would they?
Jul 28th, 2014 - 09:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0all she can do is talk, and all she ever does is talk.
Jul 28th, 2014 - 10:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0whats amazing is that some people still listen to her...
(apparently)
Brazil and Uruguay can't standby and allow Argentina to collapse. They have a major interest in keeping, what is likely their biggest trading partner, afloat. China and Russia should also get involved and offer hard cash......Otherwise all those supportive words and expressions of fraternal solidarity will be seen as worthless.
Jul 28th, 2014 - 10:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina Vice-president Amado Boudou although indicted on corruption charges, will receive control of the Executive while head of state Cristina Fernandez is out of the country.
Jul 28th, 2014 - 10:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0I fail to see how whinging about vulture funds will actually help Argentina from descending into default?
Why aren't Argentina's mates at Mercosur dipping into their pockets to help their amigo?
And leaving someone in charge like Boudou?
You couldn't make this up.
Surely she will bring up the Falklands as the number one priority in Argentina's agenda, The rest of the troubles are just inconveniences.
Jul 28th, 2014 - 11:11 am - Link - Report abuse 03. There's not one country I can see that would be willing to help Argentina. Brazil has its own problems, they can maybe give them a line of credit to buy goods but why would they?
Jul 28th, 2014 - 11:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0Uruguay is just too small to matter and has no money. They just have to protect themselves as much as they can from the collapse. They're used to it.
If China was going to help them out it would have been announced in the recent meeting, but the Yuan loan they thought they were getting is now up in the air because it required the country to be in good standing. So that loan probably won't happen either.
Russia? Come on! Their economy is taking a dive, they are all wrangled up in EU, there is no political gain for them to help a deadbeat. What could they get? Arg has nothing they want.
The Ks burned every political bridge there was with everyone that has the ability to help them.
Not even the IMF WB or IDB will loan them anything and if they defy a US court order they'll never see a cent from the USA again.
This should be an interesting next couple of weeks.
Nero and fiddle spring to mind…
Jul 28th, 2014 - 11:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0Russian and Chinese vultures are waiting. Far more toxic than hedge funds.
Think predicts no probs, therefore opposite is true..
And cfk has the Buenos Aires newspapers delivered to her hide out in the south by Tango 1. Not a wonder they don't have any money....
Jul 28th, 2014 - 11:56 am - Link - Report abuse 07. Think not only believes there won't be any problems he actually says that investment money will start to flow in after they default.
Jul 28th, 2014 - 11:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0No meeting with NML today.
Fiery Dictator-esque speech to idiotic Marxists in Venezuela. Which will do absolutely nothing for nobody.

Jul 28th, 2014 - 01:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Still following the Countdown to Default over at bubblear.com - I highly recommend it. My eye was also drawn to this article The Salta Chief of Police, Marcelo Lami, has confirmed that officers in the awesome northern province will replace rubber bullets with paintballs ……. :) Apparently they get too many complaint about being shot with rubber bullets.

@21 BrasiGayo : Your reply to Yankeeboy's #19, when called you a Marxist monkey, just proves what a bloody fool you are : You think he was comparing you to Engels ??? First of all he was referring to Karl Marx, not Friedrich Engels ; Second, he wasn't complimenting you ..he was saying you are just an ignorant, brainwashed idiot and follower of a ridiculous, obsolete concept....go get an education you stupid moron !

Just because you made a statement, does not mean it is the truth.
Nowhere nowhere nowhere did you show anybody up.
Quite the reverse, actually!
Anti-Voice is on your ass consistently and he makes you look a fool with your every utterance.
Who is Neil, and why are you afraid of him?
If you are the real smarty pants Voice, you would tell us all about your Trident or your John Player Special...
Just a distraction,

Christina, it is time to put on your big girl panties and start acting like a president with some brains. Sit down with these people and make a deal. Give them some land, fishing rights, some oil and gas leases in Patagonia, some cash and a big ole kiss. Think out of the box for once and SHUT UP with your stupid talk. You look like an idiot!!! Get out of the way of Russia and China. They will eat you and your tiny little economy for brunch. Stop soliciting the Brownies and Cub Scouts. Nobody cares.

I think the key word here is the expected thing...
I think they are using it along the same lines as:-
I expected them to sort this middle East thing out by now
and
I had expected, that in the 21st Century, there would be no more famine
As you can see, what actually IS and what is expected can be two different things
