Jan 22nd, 2017 - 08:16 am - Link - Report abuse -5And then some of you wonder why the rest of the world call British PM's “the White house's Poodle”.
Could have waited at least uhmmm 8 days? Not even a week is so toady. And notice how it's always London-Washington-London and never the other way.
I don't think even the governors of US states fly that fast to WDC. Doesn't May see it makes her out as a desperate corner cookie on a late Monday night, open to anything so long it fixes her meth fix?
Is it slimy Tobi...?
Jan 22nd, 2017 - 12:04 pm - Link - Report abuse +1What political message would you like as a country to send to the most powerful nation on Earth...
Last in line...snub...
In the middle...Not bothered plus snub..
Or first in line...Keen..
It is obvious this meeting was already politically arranged between both parties long before he became President...
Quite correct, this was arranged yonks ago.

Jan 22nd, 2017 - 01:23 pm - Link - Report abuse +2You would be over the moon if Trump had announced the first overseas visitor was to be Macri, wouldn't you?
No I would not.
Jan 22nd, 2017 - 02:04 pm - Link - Report abuse -3But geez wait a fortnight or something. I mean she will be there when the moving trucks still are on the driveway...
I hear that when Macri is eventually invited to visit the US, the president there is planning to treat him to a state dinner at a McDonald's, as befits Argentina's much-acclaimed rising fortunes among the Banana Republiquetas.
Jan 22nd, 2017 - 02:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Actually, that would be the most genuinely North American State Dinner ever thrown, such authentic touch would be an honor. Got to offer the highest expression of your culture to your guest.

Jan 22nd, 2017 - 07:30 pm - Link - Report abuse +1What the promptness of the visit indicates is how critical the military alliance is between these two nations.
Jan 22nd, 2017 - 10:37 pm - Link - Report abuse +2No one is looking at this visit the way Patrollio suggests. But, if the purpose of a Troll is to provoke. That was one heck of a stab. It only provoked though, it didn't have any truth or intellectual substance to it.
Patrollio is just a bit sick in his head from all the criticism he endures about his country on this site. That's understandable.
Apparently Trump is going to offer active US support for the British Falklands cause at this meeting. Does anyone have any hard data on that yet?

No moral high ground for China or our nose-picking Troll.
The USA is not Argentina's friend, so yes, I prefer China.

Jan 23rd, 2017 - 03:25 am - Link - Report abuse +3It appears that the last vessel that Argentina fired upon and sunk was.... Chinese.
Argentina's relationship with China is a bit strained right now, and getting worse. China halted almost all purchases of Argentine soy oil. That's a significant economic hit.
Relationships go up and down?
Jan 23rd, 2017 - 04:00 am - Link - Report abuse -3But the US is a proven enemy, China, at least is on the fence.
She must be willing to hear about how great he is - besides the other “truths”.
Jan 23rd, 2017 - 09:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0Now that China has a colony in Neuquén province, I guess that fidelito is obligated to toe the line.
Jan 23rd, 2017 - 11:03 am - Link - Report abuse +3I feel the jealousy that it wasn't the USA or the UK who wasn't selected. And besides, the UK gov is so desperate now that they see the insurmountable EU27 about to put them in a dark orifice, that they have all but admitted they may have to resort to the Chinese to come over and just take over the entire UK, so they can rebuild the infraestructure and finance the public coffers.

We see that China has been avoiding food purchases in favour of buying more from Russia.
Jan 23rd, 2017 - 12:14 pm - Link - Report abuse +3Some friends.
On the other hand, the US is still the largest supplier of food products to China: US$26 billion a year. So why has China been reducing its food purchases from Argentina?
And who says they have been reducing you?
Jan 23rd, 2017 - 01:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't trust a word you say, you see.
Nothing you say about Argentina is even sprinkled with a dearth of truth.
So your statement is probably another bold-faced lie. Or it could be a lie of convenience (saying they are buying less because the price of the product is down, thus the overall selling amount, for example), or it could be selling is down, because of climate, or because of government, or because of the product being sold somewhere else.
There are dozens of reasons and many including your statement being false alltogether which always should be options a, b, and c on anyone's list when it comes to you. And if not, probably d (all of the above).

Jan 23rd, 2017 - 01:21 pm - Link - Report abuse +2You are rambling nonsense. How did someone as young as you become so bitter and jealous of a country you have never been to and never will.
@FC
Jan 23rd, 2017 - 01:46 pm - Link - Report abuse +3The US doesn't have friends or enemies, only interests.
I thought you were an isolationist anyway, so why is Chinese involvement in Argentina any better than US involvement?
@fidelito “Nothing you say about Argentina is even sprinkled with a dearth of truth.”
Jan 23rd, 2017 - 03:43 pm - Link - Report abuse +1Find someone who can translate that properly and explain the meaning to you. (“Nada de lo que decís carece de la verdad”)
You do know that literal word by word translations are the poor translator's folly right? And btw you still managed to fumble the word to word translation, as you are missing key words like “sprinkle”.
Jan 23rd, 2017 - 05:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sorry FC, but that line is definitely not good English; it's a double negative.
Jan 23rd, 2017 - 08:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Nothing you say about Argentina is even sprinkled with the tiniest iota of truth” would work.
I tried to make the functional translation easy for fidelito to understand. Apparently we have to speak very slowly and avoid polysyllabic words.
Jan 23rd, 2017 - 08:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0One of the dubious advantages of Trump as president is that he knows a sucker when he sees one. It looks like he is going to call in countries one by one - starting with the most desperate.

But the election has been held, so what's your point?

Jan 25th, 2017 - 03:10 am - Link - Report abuse +1So, a pointless observation. How very British of you. You must be hoping that your premier does not make pointless observations when she meets with President Trump. He is a very busy man and, unlike me, suffers fools badly.
Jan 25th, 2017 - 04:41 am - Link - Report abuse -2I'm not British, you moron, and since your entire MercoPressian career is an expression of impotent, pointless resentment any opinion you might have on the subject of 'pointlessness' is inevitably compromised.

Jan 25th, 2017 - 12:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0To an argentophiliac, anyone else is an “anglo.” Chinese, Danish, Sri Lankan, no matter --- anyone who can recognise a boludez as argentine at 5 metres is “anglo” to the yerba-suckers. Unless of course they might be considered a cholo horroroso. There is probably no more racist and chauvinist a misguided Third-World mestizaje than that which is argentine.
In the news a few days ago...
'La modelo argentina Julieta Rodríguez fue expulsada la noche de este viernes de Perú por problemas migratorios en medio de fuertes y duras críticas por haberse referido recientemente a los peruanos como “indios marginales” y “cholos horrorosos”, informaron hoy medios locales.'
Hepatia is NOT USA American, just a poser.
Jan 25th, 2017 - 04:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Heisenberg is NOT British. He has said he is an Australian or New Zealander of aboriginal ancestry.
This is what ML's quote of racism by Argentines said,
“”The Argentine model Julieta Rodríguez was expelled Friday night from Peru for migratory problems amid strong and harsh criticism for recently referring to Peruvians as“ marginal Indians ”and“ horrible cholos, ”local media reported today.”
@ML
Jan 26th, 2017 - 01:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0Honestly, I just feel sorry for her - the depth of her obsession was revealed a couple of years ago when she was exposed as the poster known as 'British bomber'. Anyone with any self-respect would've handed in their troll cap at that point. The height of her ambition is to provoke the same rage in others that inspires all her posts - no matter her unsubtle attempts to conceal it. And that's just sad.
@TT
FYI, there are no Kiwi aboriginals left - the Maori's killed them all.
If me frail memory doesnt fail me..., Mr. Heisenbergcontext own info descipted him as a Small Town White Western Aussie with some motherly “Jewish Princess” upbringing...

Hepatia, your lunacy grows ever more byzantine by the post. My 'heritage' is far more exotic than your limited imagination seems capable of grasping.
Jan 27th, 2017 - 04:38 am - Link - Report abuse +1If indeed you did post a video no evidence of it currently exists, without which your post is simply another example of barely repressed rage masquerading as a 'gotcha'. Clearly a spiritual deficit is evident. I suggest you address that with some urgency before your head spontaneously combusts.
Lol, poor old Hepatia. Her habit of linking to a previous comment means she is now unable to include any real links in her posts.
Jan 27th, 2017 - 11:27 am - Link - Report abuse +1As for Heisenberg's heritage, who cares? He's not British and not European which means Hepatia is wrong as usual.
Your memory is failing you Mr. Think...;-)

Alright Think, just to clear it up once and for all: the JAP reference is Erica Jong, the author - not my mother who had passed away long before the female of the species became intensely interesting.
