Disclaimer & comment rulesMore of a drain on the Central Bank Resources if they paid Uruguay for all the Electricity it receives from them. Sorry Argentina you are getting in bed with the wrong fella, still does not matter as when the shit hits the fan Cristina and company have long gone. Argentina thinks short term and the Chins think long term.

Jan 13th, 2015 - 09:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0One plane for her and at least two others for the rest , costing Argentina at least U$S3M .
This does not seem like the self sufficiency plan that Pagina boi tobi always cries for.
Jan 13th, 2015 - 11:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0Does the Argie Govt understand that if you do not pay the US or Europe they take you to court - if you don't pay the Chinese back when the time comes to pay ---!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jan 13th, 2015 - 11:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0Something tells me, that this CFK is determined to create waves before she goes,

Jan 13th, 2015 - 12:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Borrow more money from the Chinese to kick the can down the road,
It still does not solve anything but she is all out to survive the next elections.
She will get the loans at a terrible long term cost to Argentina, just so she can throw the dumb peasants some rice before election time and make it seem all is good.
Typical K shit, different day.
Maybe the Chinese can build a new electrical grid..HA
Jan 13th, 2015 - 12:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A 3 mile circumference of downtown BA is still without electric and the peasants are rioting and of course burning garbage.
Rgs are stupid and apathetic and their corrupted Society allows only for corrupted rulers to rob them blind generation after generation.
You get exactly what you deserve
ooooh a 3 mile circumference without electric.

Jan 13th, 2015 - 04:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Its 95+ degrees in BA, no electricity means no elevators, no refrigeration, no WATER Its been out for 7+ days in some areas of their most populace city.
It is dire.
You're so stupid I am surprised you can type.
Future generations bound in servitude to the Chinese. Lol.
Jan 13th, 2015 - 05:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0CFK's off to sell the shitpit. Does the rest of the world care? Wow, US$273 billion in the hole. Who's hole, argies? Yours. For less than half of that you could have paid the holdouts. But the Chinese don't want your money. They want your territory. Over the next few years you'll be switching to rice and paddy fields. How to combat the oil shortage. Bicycles!

I don't feel sorry for YOU personally, one bit.
However, it is cruel and callous that the government you defend has sold you all down the river.
The chinese have the strong stomach for these deals. Good luck.

#7 Klingon you are from BA. Did they ever clean up the mess and destruction they created with the Colombus statue that was cut into pieces and lying all over the yard at the Pink House? Just wondering.

No sign of Pablo, or the other Trolls - they've run away scared of this subject!

Jan 13th, 2015 - 08:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Colombus statue is still in bits laying there as far as I know.
@21
Personally I think property taxes are a joke here. I just paid my property tax for a 1000 m2 lot in a nice area. $1,250 pesos for the year. I wouldn't mind paying 10 x that if they would pave the road and clean the place up more.
Today 3 ships from china paid a visit to Portsmouth base,

I can't imagin how any works leader would:
Jan 14th, 2015 - 01:31 am - Link - Report abuse 01 destroy a statue of an historic explorer
2 allow the yard of a world leader to look like a junkyard.
I was shocked when I saw it in June.

Jan 14th, 2015 - 05:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0This Yellow peril may well be her downfall.
Jan 14th, 2015 - 11:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0Perhaps she does not know yellow means caution or quarantined.
Jan 14th, 2015 - 12:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And the red flag means danger...

Jan 14th, 2015 - 03:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am looking forward - with much anticipation - to the new chinese conquistadores steaming up the river plate and subjugating the lawless perronistas. Viva la china!
Jan 14th, 2015 - 04:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Good point, we have seen what happens when Argentina does not pay the Yankee's....but what happens when Argentina or anyone else does not pay China. There is no track record on this one and the Chinese will probably just double thumb screw them with some gun-boat diplomacy to back it up. At that point they will wish they only had an American judge to deal with.
Jan 15th, 2015 - 10:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Just hum the following Irving Berlin number in the style of Nat King Cole...
There may be trouble ahead,
But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance,
Let's face the music and dance.
Before the fiddlers have fled,
Before they ask us to pay the bill,
And while we still have the chance,
Let's face the music and dance.
Soon, we'll be without the moon,
Humming a different toon,
And then, there may be tear drops to shed.
So while there's moonlight and music and love and romance,
Let's face the music and dance
and the Rgs thought they'd be working on the dams and trains
Jan 15th, 2015 - 12:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0silly rgs.
