    Hey, Argentina being the US’s lapdog is a mostly a newish development. Give them a few years to hang Milei before we put them in that group for good.

      unfortunately, it’s going to take a while since his approval rating is high rn.

      it would have taken a serious dip if trump hadn’t given him a $20billion loan.

          i wouldn’t doubt it since he already won re-election; it’s mind boggling to me how well such antics work on the masses.

      Honestly that will happen with any Latam country every few years, every now and then a very boot licking government will rule in some Latin American country.

        Well that’s easily explained. The CIA doesn’t technically have a completely unlimited budget and resources, so they have to shift their priorities around the continent occasionally. It might be random, I wonder if they have a big wheel they spin, like on “Wheel of Fortune” or if it’s more like the big wheel on the “Price is Right”. The big prize for this year is to topple the government and install a new puppet regime in… spins big wheel Venezuela, again! *everyone claps*

        it happens every single time a leader is successful in steering its economy towards self sufficiency despite the road blocks put in place by the local american back oligarchy like it’s happening in mexico right now.
