Argentina president claims US plotting to oust her

Argentinian opposition politicians have accused the country’s president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, of being “completely out of touch with reality” after she gave a rambling televised address in which she claimed the US may be behind a plot to overthrow her government and possibly even assassinate her.
“If something should happen to me, don’t look to the Middle East, look to the North,” Fernández said during the address on Tuesday night, in which she alluded to an alleged plot against her by local bankers and businessmen “with foreign help”.
Fernández had previously claimed to have received death threats from Islamic State (Isis) because of her friendship with Pope Francis. In last night’s speech, however, she seemed to suggest the threats against her, received in three emails to Argentinian security officials, had come from the US.
Her claim comes in the wake of a rapid deterioration of Argentina’s already rocky relationship with the US after the country went into default in August.
Argentina has rejected paying $1.3bn (£990m) awarded by New York Judge Thomas Griesa to “vulture fund” investors who refused to accept a “haircut” on Argentinian bonds from the country’s previous default in 2001.
“I’m not naive, this is not an isolated move by a senile judge in New York,” said Fernández. “Because vultures look a lot like the eagles of empires,” referring to the bald eagle, the national symbol of the US.

I'm not saying that the US is looking to oust the Argentinian president right now, but, you know, we've done that a lot in South America.
what
hey...you're the brit's problem not our problem, we have our own frenimies in south america!
Wrong, that would be Britannia. Now get out and leave our Colony alone.
Well if you want to, America, we'd appreciate it.
Old hag spouts nonsense to switch attention from the internal crisis she caused. Moving on...

Considering she looks like a star wars villian I wouldn't blame the US. A Hispanic Emperor Palpatine.
I would have expected her to claim it was the British trying to oust her.
All of South America either consists of our puppet states, or our explicit enemies.

This is the kind of behavior I find strange - we all know governments do bad shit behind closed doors, but when somebody says it publicly, we call him or her a madman.

OOOO DEE CHULU NO WAKA OBAMA, HOOOO. HOOOO. HOOOOO...
Why would we need to intervene? Argentina is doing a good job of destroying itself.
Just focus on the US! I promise they're the ones doing ALL the evil! Nobody else! Pay no attention to the Tommies on the shores!

I don't think Uruguay is enemies with US or an american puppet state.
