Brasso like Toby can't bring themselves to realize that their country is mostly dependant on the USA in one form or another.

They believe the propaganda....

Uh, we don't need to import horrible US meat, or fracking-poisoned US wheat.

Nor any other food from you for that matter.

On the other hand, with California being 97% of your supermarket produce, pretty much now gone forever, I would expect the USA to be begging for food in the next 5-10 years.

5. We can buy whatever we need don't worry about the USA.

Argentina can't tho, they can't even export fruit adn vegys competitively any longer so they let it rot on the vine.
Sad state of affairs.

GREAT NEWS!
US hedge fund Paul Singer obtained a freeze order this week on Argentinean embassy bank accounts in Belgium as it goes after a US$1.3 billion debt default against the South American country, local media reported on Thursday.

7. Let's see if it holds. It is really just an effort to further embarrass and complicate the K regime.
But they embarrass themselves enough without anyone's help...

Thins tangled web the Kthugs have created will unravel shortly. Its like someone living on credit cards and paying them with payday loans. It all works fine until it doesn't.

Whatever happened to the famous China-Brazil trade relationship? As usual, China´s leonine trade practices condemn those who do business with them to eternal trade deficits and invasion of cheap electronics and piracy. Now the US, Europe and other markets don´t look that bad. Ask Lula.

Another hallmark for the kirchner-rule; Argentina being displaced at the only few things it still has some potential.

What´s next, k-gang? being kicked out of the WTO?

I think there are going to be a lot of Arg farmers out of business after this season. If the economy is so out of whack that they have to let stuff rot in the fields rather than selling it they're close to bankruptcy.
