Argentinians should take a very close look at what the USA has done with Puerto Rico... it'll be 10x worse with Argentina

From what I understand Argentina looks down on the rest of Latin America so they probably won't

Argentinians prove they can be as dumb as Americans. Of course, no way will they get that $40B from Trump now.

Imagine how stupid the CIA feels when they realize they didn't even need to orchestrate coups, they just had to pretend to offer money just before an election.

Honestly, when the alternative is going back to peronism with 200% inflation, I can empathize with that choice. Personally I would have voted for a smaller party that aligned better with me but I can understand their fear of going back to peronism.

It's not but people tend to vote for a couple of large parties, even in countries with pluralist voting systems. What we're seeing now is half the votes going to the far right and the other half to a left that's careless with the currency. They need a new left ideology, honestly. Protectionism isn't the way.
