Sep 28th, 2016 - 12:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0I am just predicting the logical conclusion of events in the Northern Hemisphere, which will certainly lead to open nuclear warhead and the total obliteration of all major North American, European, Russian, East Asian, Indian, and Middle Eastern cities... the destruction of the UN just an inevitable by-product of the disappearance of New York City.

Based on the news recently out of that forsaken hemisphere it is not much of a bold statement, admitedly....
Mr. Nostrils,
Sep 28th, 2016 - 03:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0It seems that you and your intellectual equal, Donald Trump, both regard an Asian conflict as desirable.
To me it is irrelevant. A Pan-Asian, or Russo-European, or Middle East-North American, or India-Pakistan all out war, has no effect on Argentina, except for a short-term severe economic contraction post-war.

Sep 28th, 2016 - 04:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0Why? I mean there is DIRECT empirical real-world experience of this.
There was this little thing called WWII some time ago. At it's end the industrial economies of England, Scotland, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Japan, China all lay in complete ruin. Korea, Spain, Dubai, etc had not developed yet and were dirt poor, and had suffered devastating internal wars. Latin America EXCEPT Argentina was far poorer and underdeveloped than today. Middle East was ravaged, India did not exist yet as an economy.
Yet Argentina was rich and prosperous. How is that explained then?
And now Argentina is dirt poor with the begging bowl extended.

@11. It is explained by argieland being two-faced (nothing much changed) with outstretched grasping hands associated below each face.

Sep 28th, 2016 - 11:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0Dirt poor is obviously your British Education at work. Though I have always said Argentina is finished economically for a variety of factors. Though still not dirt poor... may get there, I don't discount it.
How many candidates are there ? 4 ?

“....has no effect on Argentina, except for a short-term severe economic contraction post-war.”
So, in your scenario, nothing would really change in Argentina, as you've already been in a 'severe economic contraction' for the past 10 years.

“Yet Argentina was rich and prosperous. How is that explained then?”
I thought the answer to that, was obvious....the wartime reserves (from exports of grain and beef to the countries involved in the war)......but that wealth didn't last very long, did it ? all it took was “Juan D. Peron”, radical nationalist and true populist ...but he sure did a great job at squandering it.
