Argentinian opposition politicians have accused the country’s president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, of being “completely out of touch with reality” after she gave a rambling televised address in which she claimed the US may be behind a plot to overthrow her government and possibly even assassinate her.
“If something should happen to me, don’t look to the Middle East, look to the North,” Fernández said during the address on Tuesday night, in which she alluded to an alleged plot against her by local bankers and businessmen “with foreign help”.
Fernández had previously claimed to have received death threats from Islamic State (Isis) because of her friendship with Pope Francis. In last night’s speech, however, she seemed to suggest the threats against her, received in three emails to Argentinian security officials, had come from the US.
Her claim comes in the wake of a rapid deterioration of Argentina’s already rocky relationship with the US after the country went into default in August.
Argentina has rejected paying $1.3bn (£990m) awarded by New York Judge Thomas Griesa to “vulture fund” investors who refused to accept a “haircut” on Argentinian bonds from the country’s previous default in 2001.
“I’m not naive, this is not an isolated move by a senile judge in New York,” said Fernández. “Because vultures look a lot like the eagles of empires,” referring to the bald eagle, the national symbol of the US.
With economic stagnation, Argentina’s peso currency in free fall and an alarming rise in crime levels, Fernández has seemed increasingly beleaguered in the last few weeks.

Ella es completamente loca...
“For the record Argentina has never been a real country..more like the zone of mexico.”
What record? A century ago Argentina was one of the most prosperous countries in the world.
Do you live in Columbia?
LOL
The clowns running the US can’t find their backside with both hands, much less try to overthrow some Argentinean bimbo.
"I probably would... if I thought of you at all."
Interesting. And when I looked I saw this: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/12/15/world/south-america-region-under-watch-for-signs-of-terrorists.html Basically it says that part of Argentina is where terrorists go to hide, using fake ID. Money is raised for terrorist groups there. Etc.
At http://www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil/apjinternational/apj-s/2008/2tri08/novakoffeng.htm it says there is a Hezbollah group with branches in Argentina and in Venezuela. That brings to mind the direct unchecked flights from Iran to Venezuela with Hezbollah and Hamas operatives...

If it was good enough for the Nazis...
“If something should happen to me, don’t look to the Middle East, look to the North,” Fernández said during the address on Tuesday night, in which she alluded to an alleged plot against her by local bankers and businessmen “with foreign help”.
The foreign help being George Soros.
He wants his money but Argentina still has creditors to pay from the last default in 2001 and he has to get in line.
George is not happy....
Parador, I love you.
Glad you can keep us posted on events there that might affect us all. Stay safe!
Why would our socialist nation want to harm her socialist nation?
South America has low information voters too.

Yeah, Obama’s thinking of taking the Argentina Prez gig next. Want’s to make sure everything’s ready for him.
Another example of the question:
Who would actually be stupid enough to loan them money?
Also, how much of that money has she got stashed away in foreign banks?
Is she a billionaire like Yasser Arafat?
Hatred or indifference, what is more insulting?
And the claims of the leader of a banana republic are noteworthy because....?
