    For your "simple problems" then there are some simple solutions which do seem rather obvious problem 1 solved by preplanning and provision of an advanced base or bases on Argentine soil.

    Britain Strengthens Falklands Defense

    @ Frenchie. Soviets were fully involved. Where were you in the Cold War? It turned Hot War periodically by proxy - so giving the military-industrial complexes the opportunity to try out latest hardware and a first class marketing opportunity to rack up sales. The Falklands conflict was a...

    Britain Strengthens Falklands Defense

    Still trying to catch up on this thread. Venezuelan Navy does have some useful small modern Italian frigates but this is irrelevant - what they do have is 24 of the very latest and best multipurpose jets around and which they plan to double I read. Sukhoi Su-30 RN / RAF would have a very hard...

    Good Morning Buenos Aires

    I flew into Aeroparque on Monday evening after a week+ abroad. The magic of the city when seen from above on a clear night was so impressive when I first came here 13 years ago. and I have to say that after 13 years of returning back to this mad, bad, sad town I have to say that the buzz of...

    Kfc And Wendy's Opened Today

    Comments about KFC have been covered in an earlier thread Personally I think that it is indeed public spirited of anyone to take a bucket with them if actually considering going to a KFC Not only is this the perfect utensil for neatly and inconspicuously disposing of the inevitable...

    Argentina 2013 Economy

    Watched the Ben Elton youtube clip yet I posted? :) But this last faintly nihilistic posting of yours is disingenous - there are political and economic choices and unless you totally despise democracy then it is necessary to progress with elected mandates Your alternative is what? thinking...

    Are The Italians To Blame For Argentina's Demise

    You are the lazy racist troll Joe and now hiding behind jaunts of "political correctness" doesnt get you out of the fact you are not interested in a serious debate about Argentine culture just about making cheap anti-Italian pops based on racial stereotypes And who is "we"? Are we talking...

    Argentina Ranked #160 In World For Economic Freedom

    Who Is that directed at? Who has to rebut what? This is a boring and predictable thread. Many of the people who post up on this have demonstrably closed minds and just love to go into repetitive tirades about how much better anywhere is other than Argentina and nothing orginal or new to offer...
