A nice quiet investigation over the corruption over the past 12 years. But, followers will never believe just how corrupt Argentina and SA is. But, we can sit on the sidelines and just watch the bolivarian revolution continue to implode and collapse on itself at the hands of Dilma, Bus driver and all the other two centavo players. Their day or reckoning is fast approaching.

Viva la Buccaneers!
Root out corruption?
Indict all the incumbents and organize 24 hour a day nonstop courts?

Dec 02nd, 2015 - 01:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well, I certainly hope so. Unfortunately experience leaves us with little hope.
I would be very happy if my fears are ungrounded.
I would have no problem, in fact I would welcome Argentina to the modern world.
I don't need to list what they need to do, for regular posters.... but let's be positive for once.
Can we just imagine for a moment if Argentina paid its debts, fully engaged diplomatically, dropped the Trade Barriers etc. Forgot about the useless “Malvinas Myth”, encouraged local, small businesses, cleansed its Judicial System... and... and...
Ahh... I said I wasn't going to list....
ooops!
