Just 1 comment? Where is the rest of the bashing mob?
Dec 17th, 2014 - 03:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@2. Bashing? Why do say “bashing”? After all, raising US$82 billion by means of fraudulent bonds and then refusing to pay it back is quite normal, ISN'T IT? Well, it is for argieland. After all, argieland is doing so WELL, isn't it? Here's a thought. When your debts are so much that you can't afford to eat, it's not the right time to go out and promise to spend US$8 million. Will Russia ever get paid for its tugs? Or will argieland tell Russia that it will have to make do with US$2.4 million? Does Russia know? Russian bases? That'll get US attention. Remember Cuba? Still embargoed. US supports Falkland Islands?
Dec 17th, 2014 - 04:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Wonder if argies have ever heard of honesty? Looking back over other debt restructurings, I see a common pattern. The debtor goes to the lender(s) and tells them it can't afford to pay. There are negotiations. The lender(s) decide what they will accept. From time to time there is an agreement that the debtor will pay more when/if the situation improves. WHERE has argieland followed this simple course of action? Where were the negotiations? How many debt restructurings have finished up in court? How many times has a country been cited for contempt of court? How many times has a debtor tried to get the whole international financial system altered to suit itself? Fortunately, argieland can't get the system changed in any way that the US will recognise. General Assembly resolutions are NON-BINDING. The US has the clout to ensure that financial activities in the US comply with US requirements. The US and its allies will benefit. Argieland will do what it does best. First, it will fail. Then it will scream that it is a victim. And who will care?
Regardless of what the US court of appeals say, the holdouts are correct, the BCRA is a purse of the Kirchnerists with no independence at all

Thank you President Barack Obama and Pope Francis, for your leadership. All countries of America (from Alaska to Tierra del fuego), appreciated and will recognize his leadership forever.
Dec 17th, 2014 - 06:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Today December 17 is a day that will live forever in the memory of Latin Americans.
Beyond, that many of us in Latin America not share the Cuban ideology, Cuba is an American country and should return to their roots, along with the rest of the countries of America, beyond ideologies, sitting at a table where all the American countries put forward their opinion.
Now the challenge is to the Cubans themselves, hope in a future free elections and multiparty. Cuba should relax its political system towards new horizons, more democratic and flexible. The countries of Latin America has a fundamental role in this last item.
NOW THE ONLY DISPUTE WHICH STANDS IS THE MATTER FALKLANDS / MALVINAS. THE UNITED KINGDOM MUST HAVE THE GREATNESS TO START A DIALOGUE, ONLY THAT, DIALOGUE, NOTHING MORE.
A NEW AMERICA IS EMERGING FROM ALASKA TO TIERRA DEL FUEGO, LONDON TO GIVE ACCOUNT OF THAT.
OTHERWISE, THE BRITISH ISLANDERS WILL BE THE ONLY PEOPLE IN ALL OUR GREAT AMERICA, ISOLATED WITHOUT BEING ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS OF OUR LIFE AS AMERICANS
NOW AT THE MEETING OF MERCOSUR, HERE IN ARGENTINA, ALL COUNTRIES OF THE REGION (INCLUDING CHILE) ARE EXPRESSING, JUST RIGHT NOW, THE UNRESTRICTED SUPPORT FOR THE QUESTION MALVINAS AND VULTURES FUNDS TO ARGENTINA.
FALKLANDS / MALVINAS, FROM TODAY AND LAST GREAT CAUSE OF AMERICA, WE LOVE YOU AND WISH YOU AT HOME, BEAUTIFUL, RADIANT AND VIBRANT AS YOU WENT SOMETIME.
AMERICA WILL NEVER BE COMPLETE WITHOUT YOU.

Dec 17th, 2014 - 07:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Indoctrinated fool.
Do you really think the “Americas” are or will be “United” against Britain?
Why - why do you there exists a conflict between “the Americas”
and Britain?
Hernan,
It is a racist concept, all in the minds of you and your indoctrinators, and fellow indoctrinated.
Chilé and the British are friends, likewise the US and Canada.
Many SA countries are happily trading with the UK - sorry you prefer not to believe that.
The Falkland Islands have been at peace with its neighbours from the arrival of the first British Governor in January 1834 to today in December 2014. The only exception has been a brief invasion and occupation, condemned by the UN General Assembly and Security Council by the fascists in Argentina which lasted for 10 weeks. 180 years and 9 months of peace out of the last 180 years and 11 months. Are there very many other Territories in the world that have had more peaceable relations with its neighbours than the Falkland Islands?

Ironic, isn't it?
Dec 17th, 2014 - 10:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Whacky Leadership thinks that billion-dollar debts incurred 15 years ago should be forgiven and forgotten, but Islands that others have owned for 200 years should be given to them in full...
You're not an ordinary litigant,“ Circuit Judge Barrington Parker said to Argentina's lawyer during oral arguments. ”You're a pathological tactical litigant.”

Bahahaha
Argentina is always making a fool of itself.
“but the lawyers say that there are several issues have not been solved yet.”
Dec 18th, 2014 - 10:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0“Like we know we can milk the stupid bastards for more money”, the lawyers said to themselves.
“If all the shearing and pruning is done that you're asking for, you still can't give us your assurance your client would follow the order?” Circuit Judge Ralph Winter asked Blackman.
“Blackman said he could not tell the judges what Argentina would do, but said he would recommend it comply with a narrowed order.” “BUT we get paid whatever they do, we hope” he went on to say.
The argies will never pay NML et al, not until TMBOA is out of the picture no matter how stupid they look on the international ‘stage’ (a favourite SA word for politicians).

Dec 18th, 2014 - 11:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0I think you will find that she may be that embarrassed by “ disclosure ” that she may have to pay, but will find away to soften the blow to the electorate.
The tone of the Judges is quite damning for Argentina. They're sick and tired of their nonsense.
Dec 18th, 2014 - 12:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They're going to lose.
At least this one give NML the ability to get at all their USA assets including BCRA funds.
They're going to have a very difficult time conducting business outside of the USA.
Looks like that did not go as they planned.

LOL!!
The Latam mentality is confounding. How can a group as a whole be so simple and so stupid?
