    Why is Argentina becoming a 'great friend' of Israel amid its war crimes in Gaza?

    We've been bombed twice already and an Argentinean prosecutor that was investigating Cristina Kirchner and Iran was murdered. Milei is no to blame.

    La Plata - underrated city - 40kms / 25 miles from BA

    For me BA it always felt more insecure than La Plata. The 'core' of the city is the most safe area: Regarding the outskirts of the city where you can find houses like the one on twitter there are two: 'City Bell' and 'Gonnet' located North West. There are upscale neighbourhoods there (not...

    Alberto Fernández a wife beater?

    Is not uncommon within Peronism / Kirchnerism, it's full of rapists, beaters and corrupted politicians.

    La Plata - underrated city - 40kms / 25 miles from BA

    I think is a bit cleaner than BA but haven't been in while so... I lived all my life there so I prefer BA... but if someone is looking for simpler life / family life La Plata is a good candidate.

    Venezuela Election - Will Maduro finally be pushed out of power in Venezuela?

    She just wants to save her own 4$$ like she always did. She supported Maduro for 20 years because she wanted the same for Argentina, fortunately she failed with Milani. Now he's not useful anymore to her, so she sends this message but with good words about Chavez to keep her followers happy.

    La Plata - underrated city - 40kms / 25 miles from BA

    No, it's kind of unique in the world: It was designed by masons. The layout was created before the buildings where the main square is in the exact center of it and the foundational stone is buried in the center of the main square. Government buildings are alligned vertically to that main...

    Venezuela Election - Will Maduro finally be pushed out of power in Venezuela?

    She said: "I ask the voting records to be published for the legacy of Hugo Chávez" She's trying to separate herself from Maduro's dictatorship that she supported for 2 decades but also giving a wink to the lefties by talking Chávez legacy (another dictator)

    Economy After approaching its record, Bitcoin fell to about USD 66,200: how much can it reach according to specialists - Infobae

    I bought some when it was between 30K and 50K and let it rest there. The key is not to panic if it goes down, it's very volatile on the short-term but grows long-term. I don't see it crashing because there are a bunch of governments and enterprises investing in it and now there are BTC ETFs so...

    La Plata - underrated city - 40kms / 25 miles from BA

    Yes, slow paced, simpler people, a bit monotonous though. There are nice cities nearby like City Bell and Gonnet with more greenery, big houses very upscale. Yes they filmed the TIbet scenes in Mendoza XD because they weren't allowed to film in China. Here're some of the scenes: youtube

    La Plata - underrated city - 40kms / 25 miles from BA

    Well is not a very touristy city, it's very shadowed by BA but has a lot of history behind. Another curiosity: The train station was used to film a shot of 7 Years in Tibet because its resemblance with German / Austrian architecture. I was born in La Plata and I remember seeing the Nazi flags...

    La Plata - underrated city - 40kms / 25 miles from BA

    It's the capital city of Buenos Aires Province, built by masons and is considered one of the best planned cities in the world. In fact the blueprint was made before the actual buildings SimCity-like: there are historic pictures of big buildings like museums, train stations that were built before...

    Venezuela Election - Will Maduro finally be pushed out of power in Venezuela?

    If Cristina stops supporting Maduro she will lose most of her followers. Maduro's dictatorship was Cristina's wet dream for Argentina: she controlled the central bank, the justice and the people in need through assistance from the government but fortunately she could not control the military...

    Venezuela Election - Will Maduro finally be pushed out of power in Venezuela?

    Yes, 'Kirchnerists' / 'Peronists' always supported Chavez and Maduro and they still do. That's why I don't like people that follow these political parties, is not the same as being Republican or Democrat. They support dictatorial governments and is not something that can be simply considered as...
