    ***Readers to be reminded that the opinions of Ozzers, as well as the nation of Australia, are totally and completely and thoroughly IRRELEVANT in the daily lives of Argentines or the nation of Argentina. The flapping of a butterfly in Estonia may however be slightly more influential

    CFK looks really foolish!!

    @2
    Funny that it is the Arg. people who are raising the bond prices in anticipation of CFK's imminent departure.

    How does the Jewish community in Argentina feel about her leaving, Nostrils?

    No more immunity for CFK - maybe they can find out how she was covering up the murder of 85 Jewish Argentines, in their own country!!

    she is just either too stupid to correctly interpret developments or her head makes it simply impossible.

    I have only the following to offer, which I believe says it all:

    HA, HA, HA, HA, TO THE POWER GOOGOL.

    Fortunately, everyone knows by now that another war with the UK is anything but viable. Therefore none of these purchases have that hypothesis in mind.

    The only persuasive movement that the argentine government is undertaking with regards to military pressure on the Falklands is the development of a ICBM, which has been disguised as a rocket launcher for putting satellites in orbit.

    If I were to take part in defense related decisions within the UK Govt I would start acquiring some MIM-104.

    “Letter Wall Street sent to potential Argentina investors is hilarious - If you're going to invest in Argentina, you'd better put on your big-boy pants and be prepared to lose them.” : )

    @7. Are you suggesting that, in breach of various laws and treaties, argieland is trying to produce an ICBM with a nuclear warhead? Remember WW2 and the V-2? Managed that. But if argieland actually come up with such a weapon, you can confidently expect the UK to launch its missiles. Let's call it 60 missiles with 10 warheads apiece, each 100 kilotons. Shall I leave the Trolls to do the arithmetic?

    @9 Conqs

    That's 4 SSBNs, each carrying 16 SLBNs, each with up to 8 warheads (limited by treaty), each of which have an estimated 475 kiloton yield.
    Not that the UK would actually attack Argentina just for having one, they'd only ever be used as weapons for a counter strike.

    @9. It is common knowledge that detonating one of those bombs is the absolute last resource for any country. Otherwise America, the only real threat for Argentina, would have already wiped North Korea out of the map. Nuclear bombs are merely persuasive.

    But look at the facts. Argentina begun enriching uranium after almost 30 yesrs without doing it while building a vector to “put satellites in orbit”.

    ...“Argentina ...building a vector to “put satellites in orbit”.”

    Unfortunately for our national pride, the “vector” raised itself a mere 3 meters before falling over and never moving again!!!!!!

    @12
    I have written and signed two petitions requesting the Obama administration to address the situation in Argentina, but the world continues to ignore it.
    The moment we see that vector fly as its predecessor did, it'll be too late.

    We all know the argentine govt has allowed the chinese to establish a military base in the patagonian desert, and that was in exchange for them sharing technology.

    Your ignorance on the matter is surprising.

    The original story in the article above has gone global.
    The whole world is laughing, not just at the stupidity of KFC, but also at the witty put-down of a UK journalist that has far superior knowledge of economic realities than 'she who must be obeyed'.
    haha!

    @ 14 MatGz

    I wouldn't worry about it.

    TDC won't exist by the time the Chin have finished with it.

    THAT will be the time to worry!
