Once again Argentina will try their chances with the West. This time it will surely work.

It will be better for Brics, they would get fifth column sabotage for as long as he would be president.

Bet 2 years maximum until he opens up a credit line with the IMF.

Another one? They already owe the IMF 44 billion dollars.

They could bought Twitter with that but instead they paid older debt. What a shame.

I dont know if your question is an honest one, but the same as always, money for their candidate, media campaign against the left candidate. 25 or 50 years from now, the exact how will be declassified, then the liberals will say, "This was long ago, cia don't so this anymore," while Cia is still doing it...

Maybe they can try the Ukraine route and rent out their women's wombs to western liberals.

What's sad is that Argentina is just a proxy comedy for neoliberals in the west and to larp about helicopter rides or what not. When Argentina's economy collapses, they aren't the ones who suffer. But soon enough neolibs here will also destroy the economy here so what do I know.

Sorry just stream of consciousness. I am just always perturbed because actual everyday people bear consequences.

[–] lorty@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 8 months ago
