To be sure, Argentina would long be in default had not been the generous help of the IMF, intent in throwing a lifeline to Macri and ensure payments to foreign creditors keep flowing.
Elected on a handful of lies, Macri's measures have dismantled Argentina's productive sector to unseen levels. It'll take years for a real recovery to happen once electors realize the extent to which they were duped.
Hey Kamerad/Komrade Rique, “your country” won't be attacking anyone now, an ignominious prospect from your jaded point of view. Bummer, eh? Not from mine... :D

Funny, Kamerad/Komrade, I remember very well “your country” threatening the Uruguayans when they wanted to install that wood processing plant on the Uruguay River. Indeed you tried a blockade, and I remember at the time the little matter of military exercises involving troops using rubber “boats.”(Face it you couldn't afford real landing craft.) You claimed the Uruguayans were polluting the river, but of course, Argentina was in fact the source of the pollution. Naturally, your complaints were thrown out of the International Court of Justice, and the Uruguayans continue to operate the plant. Really, Kamerad/Komrade, have you actually begun doing meth? Now THAT would be true Social Justice! :)

Mar 06th, 2019 - 07:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh come on, imoyaro, tell us something about your free-market hero, Mauricio Macri.
You really don't get it, do you Kamerad/Komrade. There are no heroic Argentine politicians, with the possible exception of Frondizi and Alfonsin. The rest seem to have been murderous, corrupt, genocidal monsters like you. Right now you have been neutralized. Can't wait to see what La Asesina has to do if she gets elected. Time for popcorn... :)
