    She has had much time to observe her colleague Hugo Chavez during his death-decline.
    She is doing much the same, and will line up a Peronista in her own image.

    Like Maduro, individuals will be willing to sip at the bitter cup of Argentinian power - the right to dip into every pot of assets and acquire a huge personal fortune is too great to miss.
    Who will be the winner of the Jackpot?

    Now, even CFK remote controls her drones electronically.

    How do we KNOW it is TMBOA who writes these little 'missives'?

    It could easily be some other argies nutter of the likes of Gollum, or better still, CaptainDismal. Hell, it could even be The Lunatic of ChewButt: Think!

    Ha, ha, ha, ha.

    'Industry' Minister Débora Giorgi? Sounds a cushy number. Absolutely nothing to do all day then, I guess?
    Nice line; “ “Truth is I have not yet been able to speak with her.”
    But then goes on to say she is just fine.
    What? Because you got an EMAIL 'from' her? Welcome to the land of make-believe.
    Debbie darling, I'll send you an email if you like! arf arf!

    Hope she gets well soon. Kim Jong Un is on the mend too, so would be good for her to join him as another great leader up and about again.

    Cristina is the best General the Falklands have. The more noise she makes the more stupid she looks. By bringing attention to the subject she exposes the false claims to global scrutiny. So I guess some Islanders might want her get well soon.

    So now it is said she was being treated for symptoms of a bacterial infection of the colon.
    Yesterday it was an 'infectious fever'.
    ho hum, more lies, wonder what it is really?

    Desperation?

    She wants to avoid the G20 at all costs. Too many awkward questions. Global media judging economic peformance.
    A spotlight on the default and the unpaid debt. So she hides in a hospital...
    The charade only works at home... for now.
    Time is running out Cristina. The chickens are coming home to roost and they sho' are uglies.
    She can't last much longer.
    Too much pressure, of her own making.

    How will Kicillof and Timerman pass the time in Australia ? Can't believe they'd have the nerve to attend a meeting. They probably won't even want to check into the hotel in case they bump into an attendee (they really shouldn't worry - no-one will recognize them). Guess they'll just sit on the plane till it's time to come home.

    It's just another 'jolly', a little trip abroad, a chance to enjoy 'the good life'.
    The scripts are already written. This will be a reward for their loyalty. They just need to spout the the same, pre-approved, diatribe, spuriously claim some support for 'dialogue' over the Falklands, rant about 'vultures', do some shopping, and head home.

    No, guys,
    I don't share your belief.
    At the G20 they will do their thing with respect and honour.
    Outside the chamber we can expect same old, same old.

    Do you think we can expect the usual (unilateral) announcements “ the whole world supports Argentina/UN resolutions/dialogue/anti-colonialist” claptrap ?

    Yes, we can expect this, but it may not be the same as the official record of the meeting.

    Never is, lol!

    That is what I was trying to suggest by the '(unilateral)' above. I really do think Cristina is too scared to leave the country, either because she fears being laughed at, or held to account by the other leaders for her recent mad statements, or she fears a 'palace coup' while she is away.
    Ref: the 'tight leash' comment by her Industry Minister.
    Scared of losing control.

    When you are constantly worried, your colon can go through all sorts of spasms. Sigmoiditis and diverticulitis can often go hand in hand, sigmoid colon is right above the rectum. Ouch. Get well soon.

    I think she really has autoimmune colitis - and this might seriously affect her travel arrangements, especially if she has had an operation.
    Better for her to use this quiet time for her to plan the propaganda of her departure; I imagine the practicalities are already on file.

    Wasn't she supposed to give Obama an ear bashing at the G20?

    Does that task now fall to Elvis and Gollum or will they forget?

    I wonder if Elvis and Gollum look around at Australia and think-hmmm this is how a developing country like us has progressed and is successful-why hasn't it happened for us?

    Maybe because most of the implants weren't from Spain.
