Fair dues. All things considered I think that was Mondino’s only option in way of response.

Don't be so dumb! They are as populist as any Peronist government (even more, I'd like to say). With this government, they are more keen to use the arms again than any other.

Not really, you don’t have any ‘arms’ to use.

Argentina’s military capability is reduced to issuing strongly worded sound bites.
