Re: Don't Cry For Me Argentina

Didn’t you want unvaccinated people denied access to healthcare and forced to undertake jobs as punishment - even though the said vaccine didn’t prevent transmission - sounds auspiciously familiar ideology- and looks like you self appointed yourself as a government deputy.

You weren’t one of these people who asked strangers where their masks were were you

Yes and yes

In a nutshell, virtuous to the bone but just a shithouse, not a very nice human being.

Perhaps Milei will have more luck than many believe. We'll see. There are some boosts ahead that even I was not aware of....

Argentina has recorded its 1st budget surplus in 14 years. Still problems i read, but seems that the Country has an alternative to TAXING its way out of poverty.!!!

It appears that the majority are satisfied with the current leader, quite easily won their mid term election although not enough for an absolute majority.

Didn't Trump tell the Argentinians they had to vote for his best mate or he would pull the plug on his economic and currency support package? It was one of the most blatant recent examples of interference in another country's election you could imagine. Even so, it is only the mid-term elections and the Argentine economy is still on life support - overseen by Nurse Trump!

Not as blatant as the 7-year long Russia collusion hoax! In fact, I think there may have been a few protagonists on here

The Argentinians have had two years to review the situation I'm pretty certain that they didn't vote for him because the US president told them to.🤣

I'm sure some did. Look at the last weeks of the campaign.

Argentinian journalists' analysis and report:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/oct/27/milei-win-argentina-trump-libertarian-experiment-us-support

The Argentine president, Javier Milei, who won a resounding midterm victory on Sunday, has received ample support from Donald Trump. Ahead of the congressional elections, Trump endorsed Milei and warned: “If he loses, we are not going to be generous with Argentina.” Washington extended a $20bn currency swap line to the government – money aimed at stabilising financial volatility that would have undermined Milei’s chances. The US treasury even intervened directly, buying more than a billion dollars of pesos to slow the currency’s freefall in recent weeks.

Trump’s bailout of Argentina is not an act of economic prudence (economists across the spectrum say it makes no sense), but of ideological finance. The goal is to shore up an ally in the US’s back yard and discredit opponents, especially the leftwing Perónist tendency in Argentinian politics that Trump equates with his own domestic opponents. Historically, Washington dressed up these types of ideological interventions as serving the greater good, defined in terms of US interests. But Trump has dispensed with even that pretence. For him, foreign policy is not strategic: it’s anchored by personal loyalties.

Exactly right. You do. You get Milei and Trump as a double act.
