20 December there will be a riot, and the government it's threatening people through the official apps if they'll go they will be persecuted :/

separating causes from consequences is intellectual dishonesty.......

Yeah, you're totally right.

 

All those awful situations that started with the illegal debt that the current minister, caputto, took some years ago.

The difference is that Milei is being honest about the mess that Argentina is in, whereas the Peronists have been lying for decades.

No, this came from before, the beginning of this came from the big crisis of 2001, Argentina never recovered from that disaster.

Im surprise for what you know about our politics situation.

 

I have a little hope of Milei can destroy the "peronist loop"

She was in power for a over decade. She made her own poor policy choices too. I'd caution that "telling the truth," and formulating policies that benefit the general public aren't the same thing. 

 

Milei "being honest" about the economic situation could be good a thing, but he still has to propose practical solutions to very real problems.

Don't know if the solutions he is taking are good or bad but it is intellectual dishonesty to blame Milei for hyperinflation. He has inherited a very weak economy and telling the public/investors/world the real state of the economy is a much needed first step and should be applauded. It is also a good step politically, as it shows your predecessors as bad and tries to put the blame for subsequent hardships on them. Now, let us see if he can come up with the more difficult work of practical solutions which will be politically bad as well.

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
