    Seeing more and more articles on MP about Mexico and Brazil - feet and fewer about Argentina, except to say they have run out of options, CFK cannot stall any longer, and economic collapse is inevitable, now.

    The Burgos Shale basin on the border with Texas it´s huge and already attracting many interested Shale operators from the US. It expands into three Mexican states: Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon and Coahuila. Burgos will be based to thousands of operations, it´s already triggering interests from heavy-energy demanding industries like the metallurgy industry, manufacturing and other.

    Well it's simple: Argentina has rejected capitalism, forever.

    Argentina has rejected Europeans, forever.

    Argentina has rejected North Americans, forever

    Since those are the three pillars of Mercopress's ideology, that pisses them off that Argentina refuses to do what the rest of the world does.

    And the capitalists and the EU and USA are so vane they are outraged Argentina would dare just go its own way. It shows how irrelevant you really are, that Argentina decided you have nothing to offer.

    #1 Well it's simple: Argentina is the failed state.

    Did you watch the documentary on Argentina? Idiosyncracy: An Argentine tale of misery.

    What I look froward to Troy.....is that Argentina will finally fail off and finally be forgotten. If only they will stay down and follow the advice of the kid....what's her name....tobias was it? Yes....follow her advice and stay down and shut up. But somehow they keep coming back and asking POTUS, Congress, the UN, the WTO.....whomever.
    will listen. But maybe we can soon write them off and forget about them.

    Here's to hope.

    All we hear from Peronist, Nostrils, is that he wishes to have nothing to do with us and wishes to be left alone - yet he keeps coming back.
    Nobody asks him to.

    Reminds me of a spoiled toddler - “ Go away! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!! - why won't anyone play with me... ???”

    A lot like childish Pablo “Niño” Ced- Drone,
    “ you are stinky, you are homosexuals, you are imbeciles... ”, etc. etc. ... !!!

    Sure... and Argentina's on a 70 year decline, with no future, no economy, and laughing stocks of the world, now that the EU beat them at football.

    ahhh... :-)

    The order is irrelevant, the result is what matters.

    I do realize that you are struggling, but each of your statements reverses the subject and object of the actual situation. Hope that helps. :D

    “they are outraged Argentina would dare just go its own way”

    Do you mean “go its own way” as in Argentina trying to steal another people's land?

    In a minor way yes, but that one is understandable by me.

    But the major being that Argentina will not form alliances, or trade, or do the things the EU and US want all “lesser” nations to do.

    Doesn't Argentina want Uruguay to bend over for it?

    @12

    You are implying your country and the others behave like Argentina.

    Don't you and the others say your countries and societies are morally superior?

    I do appreciate your sincerity however. It is refreshing and I respect you for it. All the others here only deny deny (not that it works really).

    bush TTT is in a new character phase in that he is now an Argentine. He use to be a Chin with this name. One needs a calculator to keep up with his persona's. He should be captured and studied, there are enough shrinks in Argentina.

    “But the major being that Argentina will not form alliances, or trade, or do the things the EU and US want all “lesser” nations to do.”

    YOU are the one implying that the US walks around with it's nose in the air.

    And I asked doesn't Argentina do the same as you imply the US and the EU do?

    You use many aliases on this website but I believe you have previously stated you think Argentina should dominate in SA as it is the natural way things work in this world. Dominate or be dominated.

    This is an article about Mexico and energy, I shouldn't have asked my question here. Sorry to all for the digression.
