| #4 http://latinamericacurrentevents.com/argentinas-claims-on-south-georgia-south-sandwich-islands/11578/ So much is going on in Argentina. Drug activity, 1700 cars stolen from Bolivia as I recall. Cancer deaths will double by 2020. Alcohol consumption is the highest in Latin America. They are absolutely seething about this oil exploration. China is moving in also but Argentinians hate foreign people. Tango is having a revival. |

| #2 At $100 a barrel, that is $12 million a day, which is more than enough to buy several Patriot II and III batteries, and several Harpoon batteries. |
