Nobody should be surprised. No matter what the Narcokleptocracy does or says, things just continue to get worse. Time to start trying to bully the neighbors..

Will this insanity never end? When I lived and worked in the 80's in Cerro Sombrero on the Chilean side of Tierra del Fuego, I saw the minefields on the Southern terminus of the ferry connection, watched the daily mock attack runs of mirage jets out of Punta Arenas and witnessed directional drilling by ENAP next to the border fence. All that over some pointless islands near the cape. When the Argentine generals tried to divert from domestic problems with a military escapade to invade British islands, I was not surprised at all that Chile aided and abetted the British/US response.

Well the fact they can never be trusted was why I was given a gold ticket to serve in my country’s navy — specifically Argentina as our greatest threat.

Even today — despite I love Argentines — they cannot be trusted!

They are historically guilty of violating promises and treaties!

¡Saludos de Chile!
