3. Thank you, Judi. It is what it is.

Right-wing Argentine voters, as you know, have long cheered the war-level sanctions on Venezuela.

Well, they voted in a killer clown who's basically inflicting the same - but on his own country.

And they (the right-wing voters) like it!

Worse yet - so does Argentina's Farce News-like media. And that's why he can do what he does - with total impunity.

Meanwhile, we have a Cold War-era State Dept. and CIA who - like children - all they see is that "the little nutball waves the U.S. flag" and cancels any and all deals with China (no matter how advantageous for cash-strapped Argentina).

That Milei might be sinking Argentina into a Venezuela-like humanitarian catastrophe - meh, who cares. "He rubs our ego when we fly down there - so that's fine by us."

Sure. Of course he does.
