    Six hundred million Dollars? Where is all that going to come from - Promissory Notes? Barter deals for beef and soya and Malbec wine?

    How about a Chinese naval base? And free access to fishing in Argentine waters?

    “How about a Chinese naval base? And free access to fishing in Argentine waters?”

    That's how it starts....idiots don't learn from other's experience.

    It’s obvious that Argentina will try screw China — and it’s certainly clear China will doubly do the same to the Argentines…

    Meanwhile, the upcoming table grape harvest is a crucial phase of our season — the preparations are keeping us really busy. We still anticipate the beginning of the harvest on the 21st and weather is ideal.

    Our San Valentine celebration will take place in Vitacura at one of our favorite restaurants — along with our son and Schwiegertochter celebrating together.

    We are fortunate to know the owners — who share the same culinary interests and an amazing knowledge of wine.

    So Much for the Cone of Peace in the Southern Hemisphere that Argentina has tried to Proclaim.

    “China offered Argentina tanks and planes that its Armed Forces no longer use”

    --- Argentina has a habit of buying abused and obsolete junk that no one can use any longer.

    Estimadisimo Toribio Shicuréo....

    Firstly..., you and your family should try to stay and enjoy AMAP the farm the next couple of weeks...
    There are many signs that you Shileans have entered the same type of Covid curve that hit us Argies in January...

    Secondly..., you Shileans export ~40% of your produce and import ~30% of your products from the Chinks..., but none of you is really getting screwed by the other..., right...?
    Why would us Argies that only export ~8% of our produce and import ~20% of our products from the Chinks should try to really screw each other..., huhhhhh...?

    Thirdly..., at least you didn't (as them Anglo Turnips above...) swallow this fake news article 'bout them Chink planes deal... (Nice 4,5 gen. toys by the way..., but nothing for us...)
    a) This “News” was already officially denied in September 2021...
    b) THERE ARE NO U$D 600 million allocated for any planes in the 2022 Budget bill..., because the 2022 Budget bill was NOT APPROVED by the Argie Parliament in December 2021...
    c) But..., as usual..., don't take me word for it... Google it...!

    Capisce...?

    I’ve spent the past few days at our gypsy encampment in Chicureo — but plan this afternoon to return to the farm.

    I stand by my conclusions that both Argentina and China are entering into foolish territory.

    All I can hope is the USA doesn’t do something really stupid regarding the the Ukraine.

    Toribio..., hermanito

    - I am positive your Noble Shilean Naval heart would beat quite differently if..., in 1849..., them Bloody Engrish Pirates had occupied Sandy Point in the Brunswick Peninsula and deported
    anyone in that little Penal/Naval colony that wished to remain in Shile...

    And quite possibly..., (if them Engrish Pirates didn't fancy to appropriate the rest of your thin fine strip..., that is) Shile would today be even more dependent of its commerce with Shina..

    About Ukraine..., latest news is that them Russkies are returning their troops to their usual bases before launching their final, final, depraved sexual attack against Virgin Ukraine...
    Let's see what Fake News them Yanks will “INCUBATE” now...
    Maybe something in line with this classic masterpiece...:

    Becoming a “communist..., huhhhh?
    Well..., ”that's one small step for mankind, one giant leap for a man...”

    Now..., if you excuse me..., I have an Olympiad to watch...

    Especially enjoyable are the 12 gold medals currently won by my 5.5 million Norwegian brothers and sisters ...

    Chiefly if one compares them with the only 11 gold medals currently won by the 468 millions from the USACANAUSNZUK five blind eyed Anglosphere...

    Heja Norge... ;-)

    A very good idea, Argentina buying Chinese made weapons, works on every level.

    Well they have to do something, it doesn’t look like their new Pampa trainer will be able to catch a commercial jet liner.

    As for the price, well, dance with the Devil Compadres! Dance with the Devil.

    The Yanks are not going to do anything, even if the Ruski invade Ukraine.

    Except supply the best in pull the pin, fire and forget, shoulder launched missiles that hurt the Russians badly in Afghanistan.

    Even Putin is now unlikely to invade, having given the Ukrainians months to prepare, whilst the Ukrainian military capabilities have been upgraded far more than in the last eight years.

    Although 130,000 + Russian troops on the border were not just there to look good.

    Countries like Ukraine are not running towards to West, but running away from Russia.

    Putin talks about ‘security concerns’, when pretty much all the states on Russia’s borders see Russia as the threat, including China.

    Some historian once said, ‘states on Russia’s borders are either vassals or enemies’.

    First, China's “sincerity” and solidarity with Argentina is based purely on China's geopolitical interests.....nothing to do with supporting the Argies irrational passion.

    Second, if Fernandez believes all the Chinese BS, as if the latter really supports the ridiculous (illegitimate) Argy claim, he is foolishly allowing himself to be coerced into stating his support for China's claim over Taiwan.

    But, to be expected from and incompetent, populist leader, easily manipulated by Xi Jinping.

    Right Stink, I always knew you weren't all there, bragging about your alleged Viking heritage, but to call yourself 'Tænk' ? ......You are no more Danish than a legitimate Chubut turnip....

    Not really surprised to see you refer to Jack Bauer as a “newcomer”.....is that old age creeping up ?

    Sorry, had no intention of making you get your knickers in a twist..... go back to staring through the bottom of your empty whisky glass..., I say...

    Always a pleasure reading the machinations of your swollen head....

    Good for Norway......in a way, to be expected considering the Games were held on snow and ice .....perhaps something to do with why they are called “Winter” Olympics ?....which in no way detracts from their achievments.
