    A little late, given that the Kleptocrats had phone calls from the suppliers on record at the Casa Rosada...

    Except we will kill all the Campora thugs that attack our citizens hoping to stir up riots in support of TMBOA, he should have said.

    First the Kirchners lose their direct line of cash from the government coffers. Then they lose the money from nationalised companies booking out CFK's hotels. Now they will lose the money they make from the drugs trade.

    Macri is really clipping the wings of the Kirchnerites.

    It's paradise compared to your “blood red alert, level 12, imminent-immediate-inescapable death, substantially severe, 6 skulls” terrorist level condition you in the UK and all over EUialand, NorthAmoland, Ozzer, Kannarians, Japper, Chinasia, Hindiland, et all are living under.

    Heck, we don't even have a terrorist alert system, we don't need one!

    Age, Troy, showing your age.
    Now I will have the theme tune in my head as I try to sleep.
    Li do believe if they ever make a movie about us it would be called 'DUMB AND DUMNER'.

    It's 10pm here and still 32C. Goddamn heat wave. Was 41C today and 39C tomorrow.

    Tonight's low brought to you by the numbers 2 and 9.

    I should apply to Canada as a climate refugee.

    All of the sudden, since last week, all the pictures of Argentine cabinet members and government officials seem to be taken at the appropriate time, when they look professional, photogenic, and not in the middle of some strange pose that distorts, or garbles their faces.

    Interesting that two weeks ago Mercopress could only find pictures of Argie officials when in completely unprepared photo takes, making look as if their faces were contorting.

    The ones you're talking about are probably Democrats. Most of them have poor personal hygiene. Not as bad as an Rg but bad enough.

    Even the Rgs that make decent money have ill fitting suits, bad haircuts and shoes a homeless person wouldn't wear. Why is that?

    I would have more chance of being shot in Argentina than in the UK.

    I feel I have a higher chance of being shot here than any time I am in Argentina. You feel that unsafe when you are in Argentina?

    If some countries make themselves a small target by not standing by their supposed principles.

    Does that mean they aren't a target or that they just aren't an important target YET?

    Countries that have either or both soft and hard power will always be a target. Soft power is incredibly dangerous to most terrorist organisations because they offer an alternative or lifestyle narrative that proves too alluring.

    Argentina doesn't have hard power.
    Argentina doesn't have soft power.
    Argentina doesn't offer a narrative or lifestyle that is alluring.

    Which is why so many Argentineans migrate to countries that do.

    You have to have the resources first of all to travel of of you hamlet. I am sure I needed remind you of the sense you made in your post. It made sense until the last part.

    British trolls.....Falkland trolls, Argentine trolls...........all peas in a pod deserving of one another. Though not too sure of British trolls.
