10 Countries That Have No Room To Talk Trash
6. Argentina
Under the current leftist government of Cristina Kirchner, Argentina has become increasingly hostile and anti-Western. Argentina has accused Britain of imperialism for holding on to the Falkland Islands, and its anti-American and anti-free trade policies caused the deterioration of the bilateral relations between it and the United States.
Argentinian government is employing a rabidly nationalistic rhetoric by flaming the old fire of retaking the Falklands from Britain, this is an attempt to distract the populace from economic woes. The government’s stance on freedom of speech is also dubious, as countless protesters against Kirchnerism have been persecuted or forced to emigrate. The assassination of prosecutor Alberto Nisman, who accused Kirchner of covering up the Iranian terrorist attack on the Jewish Center in Buenos Aires, has been directly linked to the government.
Argentina is in the midst of a financial and political mess, but the government seems too keen on sweeping the accusations and the grave economic realities under the rug.
