So Scioli is praising Castro for doing the exact opposite of what his government has been doing! The Troll will be very upset about this!

However, since Argentina is now talking about restricting internet access to sites having negative comments about them (i.e. no more facebook or MercoPress?) he may not be able to see this...

It is cause for celebration to see what a different world we live in now as compared to the 1960s and 1970s, when for much less than visiting Cuba a Latin American politician would be right in the cross-hairs of the CIA and the USA government.
Gone are the times of fear, the times where Argentines voted presidents only to see them deposed by the military with USA propping.
Now our government can turn its nose on a NY judge, and the world continues to turn!
Not only the government stays in place--no coup d'etat--but the same government receives deserved popular support going to the next presidential election.
Sorry folks. You may want to seep linden tea.

Sounds like it's time to put your straightjacket back on and take your medication if you believe that nonsense.

Which “Now our government” are you referring to, Canada? Surely not!

You are REALLY stupid.

“but the same government receives deserved popular support going to the next presidential election.”

What' Victory ' are the Victory Front named after?

They are the best guarantee for the Falkland Islander's increasing self autonomy, and have awoken the MLAs from their long sleepwalk, so they have served a useful purpose and perhaps will continue to do so.

This is kindergarten fight:
“I am not stupid. You are”
“Are not. You are--REALLY REALLY--stupid.”
“Really?”
“Really!”
OK, I give up.
