    What a difference from a year or two ago, with all the fcuked up dysfunctional characters running those countries - now Dilma and even MADuro are backed into a corner making their last stands.

    Sorry Marcos, sorry Stevie

    The Broad Fraud in the form of Vasquez and the brooding, malevolent Mujica backed the wrong cow!

    Argentina ended up with a stallion and a good looking filly as the First Lady!

    Now Vasquez and Navoa are back peddling as fast as they can.

    Ha, ha, ha! Up to their usual standard of judging the situation!

    It's simple, Mujica's “principles” used to coincide with his knowing which side his bread was buttered on, Vasquez is smart to change horses midstream and chum
    up to his much bigger neighbour - maybe they'll get the channel dredged...

    @2 Chris even though they are nominally the same party for the present I don't think you can put Vasquez and mujica in the same basket. You may remember that Vasquez asked Bush for military assistance in case of an invasion, not easy in view of the FA general political slant.

    I totally agree, which is why I was amazed that Vasquez even bothered with Scioli given that he was simply a puppet for TMBOA.

    As for the intervention by the USA he should do it again but this time have Pepe 'disappeared' for being a murdering commie bastard and screwing up everything Vasquez is trying to do for the country but Old Crocodile Tears Obama can't help himself, so we have no chance.

    We could always try Trump when he is elected president. :o)

    At least the K's have lost power, THAT must help us.

    5. Odumbo will be gone soon enough.

    He's blown up the world just like Carter
    He's tried to ruin the economy just like Carter

    He will go down as one of the worst USA Prez in history.
    Carter is happy he's now #2.

    Obama was left to clean up Bush's '08 economic disaster - yes, the same Bush that made a living selling 'junk bonds' in the 80's.

    He was also left to deal with a war that Bush started, plunging America into its second Vietnam and not having any idea how to get out of it, and the accompanying debt, even several years after declaring “Mission accomplished” to great fanfare.

    Bush was delusional, praising his government agencies and himself, at every turn.
    Who remembers, “good job, Brownie!”
    as 10's of thousands were still perched on the rooftops of a New Orleans under water, while FEMA dithered?

    Imagine if the Bush dynasty could have had a third term... as it is, YB likely voted for the McCain puppet and the hand-picked Palin looney who couldn't even raise her kids with any idea of common sense or accountability, let alone govern a nation.

    YB's and Trump's Tea party Republicans are their own party's worst enemies, and they do America no service.

    It's too bad that decent intelligent Americans are being made laughing stocks by the ignorance and antics of Mr. Trump.

    The only thing Odumbo has done that I like is he's given the USA a Republican Congress, Senate and turned most of the State Houses and Governors into Republican strongholds.

    I've never claimed to support Trump but I'm glad he's doing what he's doing. He making people talk about issues that the long term pols wanted kept quiet.

    So good for him and us.

    I said Odumbo will go down as the worst Prez in history.

    Wait and see, people had a feeling Carter was terrible while he was Prez but they didn't know the full extent of how disastrous his policies were until 15-20 yrs later.
    It takes time for events to gel into place
