    Patience is wearing down with President Milei

    Argentina has gone from being too close to Russia, China, Cuba , Venezuela and the dodgier countries in the Middle East to being intimate lovers with USA and Israel. Abandoning neutrality has been a huge mistake. Milei should get back to basics and keep working on inflation and the fiscal...

    Does anyone else find it strange Argentina still thinks they won the Falklands War?

    Resolution 2065 is a non binding resolution that recognises the sovereignty dispute, but nothing else. It doesnt say Argentina is correct , nor does it say that the UK is correct. Many Falklanders/Malvinenses who I have met say that the Argentine version of history is not correct . Is there...

    Skype Is Shutting Down – Best Alternatives?

    I will sign up when Skype finally dies. Like @Bingo I am the eternal optimist and hope they may extend

    Skype Is Shutting Down – Best Alternatives?

    I dont think it's possible to port the number. It seems that Sonetel allocates you a number once you sign up.
