And what about Chins in Tanzania? Zanzibar ?

Is it China’s fault if countries are stupid enough to borrow money, spend it on ministerial BMWs & then can’t repay it? Is China any harsher with Africa than Germany was with Greece? Nowadays, all borrowed money ultimately comes from someone’s pension funds. When I was young I thought differently, but now that I am a pensioner….. :bones::bones::hockey:

No. But if the :TAN Government thinks it does not have to repay :CHN, what chance is there they will repay their own citizens?  Tanzanian & various other African states have a 60-year history of borrowing money & not repaying it.  That’s why they are poor, because ultimately all economic success is based on honour & obligation.  Communist-style theft only works in the short term.

As an outsider i hope that Milei will win.

1) I really want to see what happens when someone like him becomes the head of state. Will he be able to follow up on his promises?

2) Argentina seems to be in a situation where they don't have too much to lose. Electing the same politicians over and over again probably won't change anything for the better.

Expand  

Is like you say, imagine to elect a politician who came for a goverment which made in 4 four years a devaluation of our currency from 1 dolar 62 pesos to 1 dolar 1000 pesos..........not very diferent that happen in your country after WWI .........but in this case without a war, the peronist politician make the war unnecessary for having that results.

Apparently against abortion, even in the case of rape (like a 10-year old (!) being raped and getting pregnant, but his main worry seemed to have been the abortion and calling the abortion as much of a crime....dude), doesn't want school children to learn the basics about sex in school, sceptic about COVID vaccines, supports free gun possession, denying climate change, one of those people who say others 'decide to be homosexual', etc.

 

Every single point sounds like the typical Trump/Bolsonaro/conspiracy nut :p 

 

(of course this all comes from English-language things like the ever-so-reliable Wikipedia, so if these things aren't actually true about him, or exaggerated, I'd like to know :p)

Expand  

1) Yes, he is against abortion, there are libertarians in favor and against abortion, there are a big part of argentinians against the abortion and there arent politicias who has that position, politically, is not a bad move.

2) The law about sex in school in Argentina has a lot of gender ideology, thats the problem, all the libertarians are against that for being one of the woke values.

3) The covid vaccines were experimental, its logical some doubts and being the vaccination obligatory, is against some libertarians principles.

4) The free gun posseion is a tipical libertarian principle, in my case, i dont agree with this and in Argentina make a big "noise" his proposal.

5) There are a part of the cientist who says the climate change is a natural process, not something coming from human beings, he is with that position.

6) He respect a lot homosexuals, nothing against them, a libertarian who want to attack their freedom, is not a libertarian, is a conservative.

 

He has some things in common with Bolsonaro and Trump but in another things he is very diferent, is a complety political outsider, he was a "media economist" before 2021 when he starts his political career.

 

In 2019, with some friends, we invited him to our city Bahia Blanca for presenting his new book and we have a barbecue after that, "nothing wire" with him and he didnt win any money for this, even he pays his airline ticket.

    • Zurich fend off Färjestad to claim European Club Champions title     Zurich defeat Färjestad to become CHL Champions Färjestad's inability to convert on special teams was costly Sven Andrighetto scored both goals for the Swiss     Sven Andrighetto scored twice, including the game-winner at 32:33, and Šimon Hrubec made 31 of 32 saves as ZSC Lions Zurich kept the European Trophy in Switzerland with a nail-biting 2-1 victory over Färjestad Karlstad.   The Swedes scored late to bring the game to within one, but a dominant defensive effort from the Swiss side helped secure their well-deserved win in the 2024/25 Champions Hockey League Final.   Both netminders were excellent through the first 20 minutes, but an opportune moment near the end of the frame enabled the Swiss to break the deadlock when Andrighetto slid a loose puck between the pads of Maxime Lagacé to open the scoring at 17:48.    Dario Trutmann threw the initial shot on net as the puck ricocheted off several players before finding its way to the top of the blue paint where Andrighetto deposited the loose change to secure his ninth of the year.   Then in the second, it was Andrighetto again as the 31-year-old extended his club's lead with seven and a half to go in the middle frame.   Play developed as Denis Malgin skated the puck through neutral ice before dropping it off for Rudolfs Balcers who quickly dished it to Andrighetto in the near circle where he one-timed it past the Färjestad netminder to make it 2-0 in favour of the hosts.   The Swiss continued to put on a defensive clinic in the second, mitigating the Swedes' offensive pressure and minimising their high-danger chances.   Hrubec managed to turn aside all 20 Färjestad shots through the first two periods to keep his club's advantage heading into the third.   Still trailing by two, the Swedes were awarded their fourth powerplay of the night when Zurich's Malgin was called for Boarding at 50:59 and would make good on the ensuing man-advantage thanks to Per Åslund's second of the season and first since his goal on Game Day 1.   Off the face-off win, the puck found its way to David Tomášek who slid it towards the stick of Åslund who was parked at the top of the crease where he redirected it past Hrubec with less than ten minutes to play in regulation.   Desperate to find the equaliser, Färjestad pulled their netminder in the closing moments but Zurich's defence, spearheaded by Hrubec, pulled through as the Swiss fought off the Swedes' last-ditch effort to claim victory and be crowned European Club Champions.
