Viral causes viral problems for Chile

The Chilean government has promised a speedy investigation into a viral video of its naval cadets that has offended three neighbouring nations. The amateur video shows a bloc of cadets running on a public street, repeating the cadence of their instructor: "Argentineans I will kill; Bolivians I will shoot; Peruvians I'll behead." Historically, Chile has had rivalries and disputes with its neighbours. Landlocked Bolivia lost its access to the Pacific Ocean to Chile in a war, for example, and it continues to fight for a sliver of coast. But Chile is not currently at war with any of those three countries, so maybe they should've chosen three countries that they were at war with. And speaking of war, the global "currency war" could get even worse if Europe joins the fray, says the man widely credited with coining the term. Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega told Reuters European countries should focus on reviving their economies with more investments, rather than trying to weaken the euro to protect jobs as France has suggested ahead of next week's meeting of G20 economic powers.
