    Americans interfering with foreign elections? No way! That'd never happen! Surely after they interfered with

    Albania Chile Panama Costa Rica Cuba Australia Indonesia Congo Iran Iraq Afghanistan Vietnam Cambodia Laos Dominican Republic Brazil Bolivia Egypt Angola East Timor ... and many others

    SURELY they wouldn't do it again!

    Given Milei's tanked their economy, they're screwed either way, but at least if they kick Milei out they get to exact some small form of retribution.

    It'll take more than $20bn to make up for Milei's fuckery.

    I know nothing about Javier Milei nor about Argentinian politics in general. But I know he's a bad person because Trump endorses him.

    remember when the zelinski blackmail was a big thing. good times. history classes are going to be interesting talking about how the only way trump could do what he did was due to these complicit members in cogress at the time.

    Someone on here said, and I'm trying, that we should stop talking about Trump and say instead, "Republicans did <whatever awful thing>."

    Yeah. I mean the constitution has a mechanism to stop this type of abuse and its impeachment. They know the constitution and the law. Then know this is wrong. I don't know how they could not see how no ones going to come out of this better. Its ultimately on them. I would place most of the blame on congressional republicans, then on right biased judges making political rulings, and finally trump and his administration which gets into the whole machine behind it. Its crazy how many people have to be crazy to get this result. Think tanks, congressmen, judges, extreme rich folks, trump, maga.

    This is argentina. The main opposition are a pile of thieves. The opposition before Milei to them is a round robin of people who seem to fail anyway.

    The problem with argentina is the voting public

    actually no. I mean yes, it's a worldwide issue, but the point I'm making is that in terms of natural resources and system of governance, Argentina actually has a lot going for it. They have a two round election system, the elections are fair and reliable, the amount of terms someone can serve as president is limited, they have abundant natural resources, free and high quality public education, etc etc.

    For all intents and purposes, the argentinian public doesn't have as many excuses as other countries, for having such shitty governments. There's no unfair vote distribution, there's no lack of resources, there's sufficient education opportunities for social mobility and so on and so forth. If they bothered voting for a decent party instead of idiots, they'd be faring far better than they are.

    Classic. The Monroe Doctrine exists to ensure only the US can meddle in the Americas.

    What a brilliant show of democracy! It really makes me trust Trump when he talks about fair elections.

    We need to stop falling for this. This isn't news. Who cares what TACO Trump says he'll do?

    Lmao without milei trying to do super ultra neoliberalism, they wouldn’t fucking need the cash.

    Just one more public funding cut, just one more tax cut, just one more deregulation, just one more batch of foreign investment, then the economy will be fixed guys, we promise. Just let the rich rob society a bit more and everything will get better.
