Am I thinking too strange to wonder if Russia's and China's recent announcements related to Cuba and South America (particularly Argentina) is part of some kind of backdoor deal with Cristina to provide relief related to the holdouts and Griesa and all? The US's biggest upcoming rivals playing around in its backyard, making deals that no one else will, showing up Obama's statesmanship, etc? All this with little cost to them (who knows how long it will take or what kind of real benefit might come out of BRIC and the bank in the end - just words right now) to maybe cause the US government to pressure Griesa to make some kind of decision that could help Argentina?
The US has already issued an amicus curiae brief that, as Taos Turner of the WSJ's local office noted, was moral support unlikely to have any practical effect. That's about all the US govt can and will do.
