    I'll bet Germany are shaking in their boots this morning!

    Fancy being put on Argentina's list of hostile countries. I mean that'll restrict Germany in so many ways, such as...er...er...well...er...er...that'll learn them anyway.

    In the meantime in the real world Germany hasn't even noticed.

    “ A prime example of fiscal mismanagement. ”

    The statement is quite accurate.

    Nice foto of Sr Capitanich. Lying so much he is turning cross-eyed.

    So if someone has the opinion that you should obey the law, that gets you classified as hostile, does it?

    I've said it before and I will say it again, you really could not make this shit up!

    It is the Argentine equivilant of crossing ones fingers behind ones back if telling a lie. Trouble with lies they tend to come back and bite you on the bum, you have to have an extraordinary memory to tell lies.

    Really, so guess we shouldn't mention all the Nazi War Criminals who fled to Argentina in the latter stages of WWII, bringing looted wealth with them.

    Oops, I just did mention it.

    Surprise surprise. Every country that pays it's bills and does not default nor operate as a mafia state is Argentina's enemy......in the manner of North Korea.

    Ach! Deutschland Deutschland... Was ist den hier los, bist du verrückt geworden?

    Germany talking about others' mismanagement. The country that lost a war, killed 80 million, and whose punishment was to be rebuilt entirely, for free.

    Now they want to punish others for a few billion of unpaid bills.

    Perspective, perspective.

    Anyone who has lived in Germany knows what it's like........The German way is to say it how it is.....direct and without pulling punches.
    Let's be honest, who will the international community believe? The economic powerhouse, Germany, or the demented ramblings of CFK's government?

    @7. Terrible, isn't it? Germany made a mistake that affected millions of people. Germany got destroyed. Germany apologised. It did everything it could to put matters right. It changed its constitution and its laws. It taught its population that what it had done was wrong. It made them adopt and believe in democracy, honesty, truth. What has argieland done?

    Nothing. Argieland still 'believes' in belligerence, corruption, criminality, deviancy, larceny, mendacity. It will have to die. The non-indigenous will have to be expunged.

    I suppose any country that is financially stable and responsible will end up on the Whacky Leadership's hit list sooner or later.

    One of the days this stupid woman is going to say something that will really upset an entity controlled by a person who can actually do what is necessary to rid TDC of her, permanently. I personally know of at least two “entities” that would do it without blinking an eye. The problem is they don’t have any dealings with TDC.

    I wonder how long that will be.

    kirchner and capitanich are so imbeciles that cannot avoid to express their personal feelings about a foreign government when they are representing the whole country.
    they should shut up their asses.

    ” ...groups that pulverize any possibility of allowing the international financial system to function properly,”

    The International Financial system IS operating properly - Argentina is being held to account by contract law and enforced by US Courts to ensure it complies with the rules it accepted when it borrowed money. Rules that protect the system and bond holders and borrowers alike.

    Why would we do anything? Just like Britain, Argentina does not apologize for its mistakes.

    Troy WTF does an argentine know about contract law......or law in general? And no.......skirting the law does not count as knowledge.

    The walls are really closing in the Democratic Peoples Republic of Argentina.......do you see what information airlines have to provide the RG government now?

    Tobi you really are a terrible tranny.........tell you what. We will take up a cause and donate to your sex change............if you acquire some empirical knowledge.

    This is the “Ritterschlag” (knighting) for Mr. Schäuble.
    After years of trying, to encourage the German government for a public censure of Arg, Schäuble did so. Bravo! You are the best hostage-taker in the world.

    CFK:

    “ Some people think that I'm just an old, dumpy, stupid, a loud mouth, block headed, unrealistic, vacuous, embezzling, opportunistic toad. ”

    UN:, and the rest of the World:

    “ Oh, no, no, no. We don't think you're a toad. ”

    LOOK at the level of hatred you people have reached, for UNPAID debt.

    It is quite stunning. You would have thought Argentina had just murdered 6 million.

    Unpaid debt is a portion of the lack of tolerance for the government of Argentina. If you think it's only debt, your intelligence eludes you.

    What has Argentina done that is so criminal against the world? Please by all means, list all the crimes against humanity, acts of terrorism, biological warfare, nuclear testing, and violation of women, children, homosexual, or elderly rights.

    If that is what you think it takes to be ostracized, than listing all Argentina has done to deserve the treatment it gets internationally would be an exercise in futility.

    “The German minister made untrue statements,” he told a news agency, adding “but we are not upset.”

    He went on to say “the whole world knows that we ONLY tell lies and should stop trying to go better than us, or else!”

    Gollum, sans glasses: what a sight.

    Timerman, remembering the large and (especially financially) influental German population in Argentina immediately jumped up onto his toadstool and shouted in panic: “¡¡¡¡ Argentina is definitly not upset with Germany, nor the US !!!!!!” - undoubtly, under his breath, cursing Capitanovitch again and again for being such a bleeding idiot.
