#US - Burford eyes 37,000% return in US$16-billion Argentina award

> Burford Capital’s share of the US$16 billion a US judge in New York ordered #Argentina to pay over its 2012 seizure of oil company YPF SA is around US$6.2 billion, which would give the litigation funder a more than 37,000 percent return on its initial investment.

I don’t know about you, but I’m siding with Argentina on this one. The idea that Argentina could get justice when they’re the away team is a farce. This is *especially* true in matters of petroleum.

#Argentina - The wild ride of Javier Milei

> The notion that, before the year is out, the wildest man in Argentine politics could be sworn-in as president is every bit as outlandish as once was the thought that #DonaldTrump could one day become “the leader of the free world.” When the “orange man” rode down that “golden escalator” into the lobby of Trump Tower to tell carefully picked onlookers he was running for president, almost everybody laughed.

Happy to see #SheMakesMusic as the theme for this week's #JukeboxFridayNight as it gives me another chance to promote the insanely talented Argentinian artist, Juana Molina, once more. Here's a live performance of Cosoco that's an utter delight.

@b9AcE also why do they think they are an alternative?

#CSTO replaced #WarsawPact and besides #NATO there are the #NAM states...

So the #BRICS don't actually do more here but basically work to either add reactionary pressure against progressive nations like #Argentina and #Brazil or provide #Russia with a network of #SanctionBreakers.

@aracnido Espero que cambie la cosa aunque me ha parecido que el segundo y el tercero que pueden salir son malos tambien, madre mía el mundo como está cambiando. Mucha fuerza para #Argentina, si sale el Milei ese la van a necesitar. Dan ganas de asesinarlo a ese tipo que se define como liberal libertario.

Javier #Milei es el listo (lean su biografía) y Santiago #Abascal el tonto (lean su biografía).

Ambos se han financiado con dinero negro (apuesto por la #CIA) y ambos son peligrosos.

Está en manos de #Argentina no darle el mando de la Play y en la nuestra que no pisen el Gobierno.
