Oct 08th, 2016 - 03:16 pm - Link - Report abuse +3Actually, it will be the Chinese that plant their flag on the patagonia.
Wait...will ? They already have. A base in Neuquén. I mean, a colony. The argie apologencia call it a concession. But it's a colony. Staffed in part by Chinese military personnel. Of course they deny that it's for other than, um, space observation. And it gets exemption from IVA (ergo, the local VAT) and customs controls.
Perhaps Chubut will be the next to be colonised by the Chinese. They may need a couple of cheap cabins. They may end up with a lot of cheap Chubutense cabins .
----------
Argentina is going to need that Chinese currency. The government here is seeing trouble making payments on foreign debt. That US$10 billion or so that Argentina owes to the Paris Club? The Argie government is projecting such serious revenue shortfalls that they're talking about deferring payment. That's the first obvious step in significant nonpayment events which in financial argot mean Of Course Argentina Is Going To Default Again Real Soon. But then, Defaultese is the second language here.

Eventually India maybe, but Brazil ? while they have the potential, they haven't a clue as how to use it. The backward mentality of a large portion of the Brazilian population is against real progress and productivity....seems all they want to do is to steal or to lead a cushy life at someone else's expense. It's a cultural problem, not an economic one.
India and Brazil will have much bigger economies than the UK.

Oct 08th, 2016 - 07:01 pm - Link - Report abuse +2As is usual, you misrepresent.
....why would people ignore India AND or Mercosur, or ASEAN?
Didn't say that.
Didn't even allude to it.
Indeed, I was saying the opposite. But with your limited education & stunted intelligence it is hardly surprising that you so easily get confused. It is probably why you lie so much.
No one is ignoring India.
No one is ignoring ASEAN.
And the only reason that countries ignore Mercosur is because its inward looking & not outward. For a contrast, look at the free trade agreements being signed by Pacific Alliance members. Dozens upon dozens.
Indeed, why is Mercosur ignoring India and ASEAN? And the USA? And China?
Mercosur has FTAs with Israel, Egypt, Palestine & Lebanon - combined their economies are smaller than Florida.
As for comparative economic size, of course India will have a larger economy than the UK as their population is 21x larger.
Population size is not a perfect indication of economic size or any other measure such hard/soft power or potential. So Brazil is no guarantee in the long run.
You're the one that is on this whole new Brexit meme, so you really need to do your research when making claims.
You think that Brexit is way to bash the UK and somehow deflate its sense of place in the world. For someone who harks on about sovereignty & not conforming to the norm, its funny that you now take the opposite position to describe the UK doing exactly that.
The UK has decided that its economic future lies outside the EU. Its people have decided that they no longer wish to cede sovereignty to an external organisation that they feel does not represent their beliefs & their place in the world.
If Argentina was doing this, you'd be shouting how powerful it was for doing what they wanted & not what others wished for or decided was best for them.
But because it is the UK, you go against your beliefs purely to attack.
It is why you argue so badly, because not even you believe your own sh!t!
I also support Argentina and its legitimate rights.

Oct 08th, 2016 - 07:32 pm - Link - Report abuse +2China has virtually halted all soy bean oil imports from Argenzuela. China is now favouring soy from Ukraine (nearly 20 percent of Chinese soy imports) and Brazil (nearly 60 percent). Argenzuela had earlier bet the mortgage on the value-added measure of converting its soy crops to soy oil, and this supported considerable employment. Now China itself is processing imported beans into oil, which makes Reekie happy because of his oft-expressed hatred for the agro export sector and the fact that China cut into Argentina's employment numbers during Macri's government.
Soy bean oil is one of Argenzuela's few currently important exports. It's what pays the bills here these days as other sectors of the economy sink. The loss of this market and stiff competition from other suppliers in other markets places Argentina's economy further in jeopardy this year.
Default? Only a matter of time. Tic - toc.

So in his mind, he is entirely innocent and constantly being attacked and put down for no reason. Which feeds his desire for revenge.
Which is why we get to continually watch him set himself up.... again and again and again.
He gets perverse pleasure in being bested continually.

The one thing you ALWAYS forget, Tobias, is that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
And for Argentina's current government...it's just doing what all previous governments have done, and they are still no nearer to gaining sovereignty over the Falklands than they were in 1965.
What is the definition of insanity? Performing the same actions over and over in the hopes of getting a different result.
Not going too well for Argentina is it?
Are you embarrassed? Is that why you're desperately trying (and failing) to divert the thread with your nasty little racist rants?

The UK Home Secretary Amber Rudd's proposed restrictions on foreign students and the stigmatization of British companies hiring too many overseas workers and professionals go exactly in such direction. It also represents an evident legitimization of xenophobia.

So, government officials on the record advocating full-on racial filters on jobs, education, and hospitals. Lists of foreign workers, black-listing companies, hospitals doing drug screenings based on social strata for service, migration quotas...Sounds like a decent society developing on that isle (not).

When I read of foreign worker lists, universities with too many foreign students, attacks on Jews up 500% in one year, hospital treatment based on stealth drug screenings on lower classes, migration quotas, Britannia, forgive me for coming to the conclusion that it looks exactly like Germany around 1935.
And in fact all throughout the 1930s most Germans were just in denial that it could happen in their country. Guess what the attitude and vibe coming from the British is of late...

Oct 09th, 2016 - 04:59 pm - Link - Report abuse +1So, you're saying Britain is not living up to its rhetoric?
So what. That doesn't affect whether isolationism is objectively good or bad. If your plan would not make Argentina into the 4th Reich, how would the much lesser things suggested do that to Britain?
1935 was when the Nuremberg laws were introduced in Germany, stripping all German Jews of their citizenship, and banning them from having sexual relations with people of 'German blood'. There's really no comparison between that and asking companies to disclose how many foreign workers they have, a plan that has just been canned anyway due to the backlash.
Do you not realise how ridiculous you sound comparing Brexit to actual Nazism?
