Sep 17th, 2014 - 01:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Timmerman's patria is Israel and he's taking out his anger on the Argentine people for his family's past persecution. Kabuki theatre, this is the ambassador that said the smart money is moving into Argentina...back in June the article was on here. I think that was the market top? And the height of BS optimism about some kind of a deal. Some kind of deal ignoring Cristina is an anti-crist-ina witch who wants to create hunger and suffering and can be in exile when it comes down.

Shutting down our oil exports to them? HAHAHAHA
Cutting the flow of bilateral trade? LOL
Threaten the millions of Argies flowing across the US border? :D
They have nothing at their disposal. They searched a US plane for Pete's sake. They just have nothing.
And this is not just Obama. Back in 2005 Argentina humiliated Bush and the USA in Mar del Plata and they couldn't do anything either.
Unlike with Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, or northern South America (or the Pacific Alliance due to trade, or Uruguay/Paraguay due to their small size), the USA has no leverage on Argentina: economic, financial, migratory, trade, or cultural. None.
6. The US only needs to humiliate and tell Argentina for what it is. A Reagan style approach would do just fine. Argentina is perhaps the most hated country in Latam. The US can easily capitalize on that.

That's 9 votes right there against kicking ARG out.
And I can only see two sure votes to kick ARG out: US an UK, our eternal enemies bent on our destruction.
I don't even see Australia or Canada voting with them. At best abstaining if that is an option. I don't see Germany taking such an aggressive action, it's not their modern style. And no way France, Italy and South Korea would vote for that. Neither would Spain or Holland under “EU”.
So no chance. But I hope they try though, it would prove once and for all to our people that we need to treat US and UK as people who wish us DEATH.

@13 Banks and the elite own the Kirchners, Maduro, Obama's white house. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz shed light on the lack of freedoms in Argentina, but Obamas corrupt ambassadors were super friendly to this regime and now when it's too late they start Bi+ching. Obama can't make fun of this soviet union that's falling because he himself is a Marxist. Why would he go criticize these leaders who do the same, but just have quicker falls because they are not a world power? I guess that would make him hypocritical.. Oh wait he already is the biggest hypocrite of the century, segun MP in Ireland Clare Daley, in a well summed up speech. Madonna toured the world preaching the gospel of world peace through Obama, beginning in Israel...what people don't notice is that When Dec 20th came along, her concerts in Santiago and Cordoba were ruined....It doesn't rain in Santiago in December like that.

In Argentina Monsanto can spray on Chaco, Santa Fe spreading cancer and destroying a generation.
Is the USA banning the purchase of Argentine pesos? No. The other way around.
In Argentina they work for these little pieces of paper called pesos and queen Cristina and Kiciloff decide the value. Slavery. Don't like the pesticides? Too bad.. You don't have the right to save dollars to move into a villa.

Are you daft enough to try to convince the readers here that Alexander Graham Bell was not from the United States? Please give me a break.
Regarding the first real automobile, via Wikipedia: “Karl Benz, a Bavarian immigrant, working at the Ford motor assembly plant in Dearborn, Michigan was deported from the United States in 1893 for theft of car designs...”
Finally, the first true computer was designed by Commodore Matthew Perry, who after opening up the Japanese market to sell American cheap products there, came back to home with his pockets stuffed with primitive transistors and created the Commodore 1 computer. (Version 64 was very popular in the late 20th century.
Next thing you'll try to convince us is that the Americans were not the first nation to put a man in space...

@9. Oh no, it's far more straightforward. For instance, a press conference on the impartiality of the US justice system.

Sep 17th, 2014 - 04:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@11. Argieland has no 'right' to be in the G20. It's there, temporarily, to give wealthy countries an idea of what poor countries are thinking.

@17. Perhaps you should think how, if it chooses to exert itself, the oceans and the sky belong to the US. There was a time when the oceans belonged to Britain. And they may do again. Who knows how many carriers Britain intends to build? Casting off scotchland gives Britain another £45 billion to spend. That could be 14 carriers. A total of 16.
@20. Just one small point. You slaughter your sentient co-inhabitants? And then you eat them? Sorry, no chance of you getting out of your cage for the next 100 years.
@40. Do your guys have a week to spare? Sail every carrier to within range. Identify all suitable land-based aircraft. Wait a while. Despatch every available US Navy vessels to sail up and down the argie coast. Launch aircraft. Don't be 'shy', get them to fly directly over Buenos Aires. Perhaps, just to press the point, some US vessels could stream the Union Flag as well as the Stars and Stripes. Are we not the most reliable ally you have ever had, or ever will have?

Nostrils, you know full well that Biro had his company and British patents for his pen taken from him by Argentine extortion:

“Swirling within and around the arc of these two lives, Moldova illustrates how citizenship and nationalism can be used in conjunction with patent laws and international/national corporate capitalism to peel away from individual innovators and entrepreneurs their ownership of intellectual property.
For example, Bíró handed over a sizable percentage of his shares to his Argentine partners to free his family from fascist Hungary.”

Like so much of what he “contributes,” based on lies, half truths and fantasy, it is all with one aim, to draw attention away from the real issue of the article he comments on. How much longer until his next reference to the “Annunaki?” ;)

Oh... I get it. You think that if Scotland leaves the UK, it won't be the UK any more?? What a silly little troll, you are. We will still be the United Kingdom of Great Britain even if Scotland leaves, it just won't have Scotland in it. You see? I've tried to keep the words short so you can understand them. You see, if Scotland stays, we will still be GREAT Britain. If Scotland leaves we will STILL be GREAT Britain.
Where as, no matter what happens, Argentina will still be the international equivalent of a petulant teenager.

“Argentines don't migrate to the USA much at all.”
You couldn't be further off the mark. Miami is full of them....they go there, not only as tourists, but to buy houses, open businesses and to settle down...obviously, I'm referring to the smarter Argentines, who have had enough of CFK.

Sep 17th, 2014 - 09:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Apparently the Obama administration was not happy over political posturing and anti-NAFTA comments made when he first assumed office. Hillary, his Secretary of State, had taken a strong dislike to the Kirchner administration while she was a Senator and strongly urged the President to focus on Brazil, with a strategy of concentrating on Columbia and Chile as examples for the region to follow. When Argentina was left off the American Presidential tour of South American and CFK threw their little hissy fit over the American cargo jet, Obama personally put her on his (excuse the term) blacklist...
Of course, the whole NSA mess was exposed an the Brazilian government has put Obama on a black list as well.... Let the perra sulk.
It's almost as bad as a Brazilian telenovela...
Okay let's say this is the case, who do you think will be on the short stick? Brazil, USA or Argentina......lol

Sep 17th, 2014 - 11:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Hillary, his Secretary of State, had taken a strong dislike to the Kirchner administration”......well, that 's about the only thing she and I have in common.
Anyway, regarding Brazil's putting OB on the blacklist ( as you say, pardon the pun), this is nothing new. Long before the Dumboass Dilma got peeved because the NSA was spying on her, it was notorious that the Brazilian Federal Government was not friendly towards the USA...This hostility started at the beginning of the Lulla years - when Lulla befriended all the wannabee dictators of Latin America and Africa (even Ahmahdinejad of Iran) - and has become very clear over recent years, when at every vote at the UN, Brazil always votes against the USA. These stupid socialists in Brazil, much like CFK, believe they can get along just fine with other shitty governments, in detriment of good relations and trade with countries that count.
@82 Captain
I think the short stick is going to Argentina. Don't think the USA really expects much from them anymore, and basically just wants to keep things ticking over. Brazil has a lot more to lose, and while the PT based government's unfriendly rhetoric may be needed to appease the less moderate party members, they know damned well that deep down, they can only push so far...

Assuming that you are from Argentina, if you decided to leave the country at the age of 23, would you suddenly no longer be Argentinian? Saying that, most probably wouldn't want to admit it.

That Alexander Graham Bell was a Scotsman, there's no doubt. He was born in Edimburgh in 1847 and migrated to the USA at the age of 23. Before leaving Scotland, he had already partially invented what would later become the telehone, patented in the USA in 1876. Perhaps the migration part is where the confusion arose.

Sep 21st, 2014 - 05:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It wouldn't be extrange if the words of this guy were part of the strategy of the vultures. This kind of people (the vultures and their lobbists) must think that if they publish articles in some of the most important financial newspapers of the world, or if they make thritening comments before press, they'll scare c. f. k., perhaps the vultures think that c. f. k. is a sepoy like many members of the different political parties from the opposition, who often say that they would pay the vultures all what they want, after the rulling of their adict judge griesa.
However, what those cretins don't say, is that if griesa's decision can't be complied by the gvernment, is because it violates articles 2 and 3 of both debt restructurings, which don't let the government make an unequal payment to any bone holder, than what was accorded with all the rest of them who accepted any of both restructurings, it 's not just for the ruffo article (right upon future offers).
After hearing the posture of different members from the opposition, i think that in the future we will have to thank that this rulling appeared during c. f. k.'s government.
It's perfectly expectable that local economic power, and the vultures, will keep on doing all they can, in order to achieve cristina leaves office spiting blood, in fact, since 2007 there were 9 economic runs, however, despite all the problems that our economy has, if this time we can resist, is because we aren't in a vulnerable situation, as we were in 1989, when a financial coup d'etat broke raul alfonsin's government down.
Nobody is inocent, and all politicians know perfectly what vultures are, however despite all legitimate critics that anybody can make in relation to c. f. k's falencies, she is one of the few leaders who put a limit to economic power, some battles were won by her, and others were lost, but unless she has always been disposed to give the battles.

Just pay the money yeah? Simple. Job done. Just pay the money and then it will be done.
and this word you seem to have a hard on over... “sepoy” to quote “The Princess Bride” :- “I do not think it means, what you think it means”.
Simply put:- You pay what you owe. If you borrow money and don't pay it back, that makes you a thief.

quote ”This kind of people (the vultures and their lobbists) must think that if they publish articles in some of the most important financial newspapers of the world, or if they make threatening comments before press, they'll scare c. f. k...., “unquote.
It's funny, but the only people I see making empty threats and bravado-like rhetoric in front of the press, is CFK and her Secretaries of State....”WE will do this, WE will do that....WE will not accept that....and it goes on and on...when is she going to put “her” money where her mouth is ??...and speak for the country for a change, not only for herself and her cronies. She thinks this is all about her.

Why doesn't Argentina simply give Paul Singer and the rest of the bond holders the three most southern provinces, ie the ones that have all the oil , in exchange for cancelling the debt ?
Sep 22nd, 2014 - 04:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hardly anyone lives there , it's cold , Argentina does not have the money , diplomacy or economic nous for developing the oil fields anyway , so what's the downside ?
The upside is they can then spend the next 150 years claiming it back , telling the whole world how they've been shat on by the greedy yanquees and British imperialists .....again .
