Russians are very proud and very rational people. Putin still enjoys a majority support because of his ability to keep Russia relevant and whoever comes after him is already in the loops waiting for his turn, everything there must always remain under control, no loose ends. Russians may not like...

Maduro is likely to end up in a gated elite community in Moscow along with Yanukovich or if something doesn't go quite right with the Russians his next best bet is Cuba, either way he would be wanted for war crimes and gross human rights violations, not to mention the embezzlement of national...

You are being too abstract on your idea because in the Argentine context there is too much corruption in the country that lacks the vision to put borrowed money into use so the only way to discipline the policy makers in the Casa Rosada and Argentine public for that matter is to restrict and...

Any austerity is hard on the working class, but that's just the nature of an economic consolidation, work more spend less when the economy needs a period of time to re balance itself and make adjustments. I do agree with you on the middle ground approach tough but I still persist on balancing...

I do not support Macri's program because he borrowed too much and did too little. In case of Argentina there is no choice but to tighten the belt, and are you arguing the opposite? When there is a twin deficit and a real risk of default? The whole idea of spending your way out of recession may...

Ireland created crazy tax incentives for multinationals such as Google and so their GDP expansion is not reflective of real productivity increases or improved innovation because of earlier investments in education, although I might be wrong on the longer term if that revenue gets reinvested...

jaja right on, just noticed.

One must be blind to say that Maduro is running Venezuela, the video attached is a joke. The economy there has already collapsed and millions of people fled the country and millions more wish they could do the same if they had the resources and knew where to go. Maduro at this point is in par...

Technically you are right sir, I should have used the implied meaning instead of quoting but my point was accurate enough since not connecting with someone does imply not getting along at least the way I understand it. In regards to you dating hundreds of women and connecting with only a few of...

This is why changing the existing labor laws is imperative to the Argenine economic recovery.

Thanks for the details, although that does not address the underlying theme that I was hoping to poke at. Please forgive me for sort of hijacking this innocent post but I would like to use this opportunity to bring the issue of opportunistic dating into the light and get some feedback from...

what defines the "local men"? and what defines a "nice middle aged expat"?

Don't worry, it's just another reason to automate every single service on earth then the robots won't ask for no tips.

Yes, democratically elected Venezuelan government ruined its own country and yet it was all preventable.

I disagree with the idea that a bad leader can come and suddenly ruin an entire country, taking it from prosperity to ruins. People may not have the analytical capacity the examine their geopolitical long term agenda or understand some complex political situation meant for experts but when it...

The fault lies in the decision making of all Venezuelans over a prolonged period of time. A nation that cares does not sit idle when the entire economy hangs on a single volatile export commodity and does not vote for an individual with no sense of reality when the oil price had already been...

They clock the highest annual GDP growth by comparison to other member states and their banks are more resilient and immune to downturns, politics aside.

This clarifies a lot of things, but let's dissect this a bit: With all the support that Maduro's elite receives from their authoritarian friends, it makes sense for them to try and ride out the pressures from the democratic capitalist governments around the world who want to avert a bigger...

Thank you all!

This makes sense, many of the well educated professionals have left various developing countries and continuing to do so today, I think they call it "the brain drain" and if Venezuela has nobody to help it rebuild then Russia would most definitely be happy to work with Cuba and China to...
