    I've seen this film here in Brazil and I know how it ends. Brazil managed to survive four years of attacks, extortion, persecution and murders by the far right.

    I strongly recommend all MP readers to watch the Netflix series ARA SAN JUAN.

    Despite the ridiculous accusations, the submarine saga proves how the government itself was to blame.

    Don't cry for Argentina...
    ...they are their OWN enemy!

    Personally I was outraged and sadly disappointed how my Argentine neighbors MURDERED the crewmen.

    The translation seems to lack some understanding of expressions used in Argentina. “Pissing on” someone is a figure of speech, just like “jodiendo” is a figure of speech.

    Brasileiro...
    - At the pace he's going..., I Tænk Mr. Milei will..., luckily..., succumb to a total nervous surmenage much, much earlier than 2027...

    Shicuréo...

    I hold the entire government for the murder of the sailors.

    The Netflix documentary was well presented, but did not explain about the corruption prior to the Macri government.

    The blame is to all involved.

    Meanwhile our harvest continues very well, but the Panamanian Canal difficulty is a headache...

    “Página 12 reported”... “Javier Milei was quoted as saying”.

    Low to zero credibility, then.

    I'm sympathetic of the submarine saga...

    Today our California importer advised our first arrival was very successful.

    Despite the high costs, we're seeing excellent demand and expecting a profitable season.

    Meanwhile our family's garden pleathora is a jewel this year.

    SO2 is the lifeblood of my industry.

    Our evening fare is chilled chicken salad with a marvelous nectarine, plum and apricot medley...

    Our sweet corn is delicious, as are the amazing tomatoes we grow...

    Wishing you also a great day!

    As always Gauchito Drink engages in lying by omission. The work done by the Argentine government wasn't done in Germany, but in Argentina to “save money,” and took longer due to “cost overruns.” This involved cutting the hull in half replace the batteries and engines. This took from 2004 to 2013, entirely during La Asesina's misrule. Macri was 2015-2019, with the San Juan disappearing in November 2017. Sounds like the cheap work and grifting finally paid off for La Asesina, big time!

    I'm very aware of the unfortunate saga and agree the the evel “involved cutting the hull in half replace the batteries” was outrageous.

    Thanks for sharing your military background.

    The ENTIRE saga of cutting in half a submarine and then putting it together again, is one more example of Argentine corruption.

    As you know, I served in the Chile Navy and followed the ARA San Juan debacle.

    Now I'm a small farmer, located in the Aconcagua Valley growing grapes and avocados.
