I can understand what you mean, i do not understand all Latin american politicians but i do understand the corruption we live, so i can relate, i do not know Cristina`s domestic policies, but internationally i do not think she is like you portrait her, one because Argentina does not have the ability to match England Militarily, and here i am not talking Eurofighters or aircraft carriers, i am tell you England is a bully has nuclear weapons,and yields them in the south Atlantic with impunity.

I do not doubt Brazil, Mexico or even Argentina can become nuclear powers, however the wisdom of doing it has been questioned by These nations thus their nuclear power programs are peaceful, thus when you have a nuclear power with nuclear submarines and the possibility they have nuclear weapons near your coast Argentina only can simply protest, and in that she is right, she has much more credibility in the international Arena than England, at least all Latin america Supports you and that Includes Brazil who also thinks the British are a threat to them.
So to be honest i do not think she is an embarrassment,she is applying the only possible policy you really have left

Argentina and Great Briton were friends and trading partners for a long time before the 1982 war, and probable could be again. After all Britain became friends and trading partners with Germany and Italy after the Second World War

The problem is not with Britain. They are just upset that they were invaded (rightfully or wrongfully so). The point is that Argentina has to change. It needs to relinquish this socialist third world mentality; it need to begin electing politicians that are at least somewhat concerned about the welfare of the nation than their own political carriers; it need to get it economic house in order. Once these goals are reached, or in the process of developing, then Britain will take notice. If a stable Argentina can offer economic incentive to provide port facilities for the drilling fleet, Argentine refineries to process the petroleum, Argentine workers to man the facilities; in other words provide the infrastructure to support the endeavor of exploration. Then there will be open and frank negotiations. A stable Argentina that provides an incentive for investment and is an Allie that the British can deal with. After all money talks.

Before the 1982 war Argentina and Briton were negotiating a joint administration of the island. That many of may not happen again. But the foundation I laid out above will benefit both nations and lead to economic prosperity and stability in the region. If not then Briton will utilize Chile and push them closer together, and that my friend is a recipe for disaster.

If we see it from the only military point of view, no political strings attached, i think Argentina like most Latin american nations, we keep token type armies, most armies in Latin american are extension of the police, only Brazil, has a relatively modern military industry, the rest have no military industry of importance.

Brazil can make AWACS, small turboprop aircraft and Submarines.

Argentina has some jet trainers but these are very few.

In my opinion after what i saw it happened in Iguala in Mexico, where the military has been blamed by news reporters of killing civilians and the shot down of a Military helicopter by the drug dealers in Guadalajara, Jalisco Mexico; we can understand the real jobs of all the armies in the area.

Brazil can build from military trucks by Agrale to AWACS and cargo plane by Embraer, and we can count the SAMs by AVIBRAS and the nuclear submarines they plan to build.

Argentina has a token military industry, same is Chile, yes we can build small arms or small vehicles for the military.

But in reality the most important programs Argentina has are the ARGsat and the Tronador II by CONAE.

Other important programs are the radars build in Brazil and Argentina and the jet engines designed in Brazil by Polaris.

There are important UAV programs in most large nations, but most of the research is concentrated in Brazil, so in my opinion Brazil is the only real military power in Latin America

Uruguay will pay 35% more for a dredge to calm their metal unions Desecrated more economical Spanish deal

(Defensa.com) Although the original value was raised to the Uruguayan government of $ 42 million to be assembled in origin, the Dutch shipyard IHC Holland BV quoted his dredger for the National Ports Administration of Uruguay for almost $ 20 million more than its initial value, fulfilling a requirement of the local union assembly (even without prior experience or technical suffcient for it) consecrated during the government of José Mujica, who was still trying to award during mandate-, which just create about 155 jobs over two years that cost.

While one of the Spanish firms applicants, Galictio Tiferey (controlled by Indasa), also quite close to the previous administration, had been referred to the award last August of a dredge to the port of Montevideo, in what the local marine environment evaluated as a prize "comfort" and its virtual discard for this vessel of large size, the other Basque Astilleros de Murueta, shareholder also Spanish Construcciones Navales del Norte / lanaval (builder of the giant dredger "Cristobal Colon) ally local firm Tsakos- the largest private shipbuilding industry of Uruguay had offered to integrate 20% of national workforce without its final cost exceeded 45 million dollars, which made it the most economical option of 3, Galictio Tiferey quoted as between 46 and 54 million. In the first call had also been present the Asian China CAMC Engineering Co.

The proposal was basically Murueta tow the main hull and transport mechanisms for dredging later to Uruguay, where the final integration be realized, looking at the 20% national workforce, according to government and union requirement. However, the awarding committee understood that if "the methodology of evaluation of local content had been misused," opting for the Dutch group, with a vast experience in the field. The same-which originally also had a not so different from Murueta plan, after the metalworkers union recognition UNTMRA months ago have intervened against the government of the day, breaking the previous tender in days deciding to impose mandatory 20% national, which originally it was not required-thereby changing the conditions of the process agreed to their requirements, promising despite the lack of background to make the hull and the basic structure of the boat in Uruguay.

Currently the Chinese firm Shanghai Dredging, dredging performs larger in the various access roads to the main ports of Uruguay, plus two ancient dredges PNA D-7 and D-9, 25 and 41 years built.
