Ideologically, this is the closest thing Argentina has had to its fascist last dictatorship - which, you'll recall, killed 20-30,000 while permanently derailing the country under a mountain of foreign debt.

The 2015-19 administration under Trump's pal Macri was almost as bad - and sure enough, Macri and his ilk have completely embraced (some say, taken over) the unhinged and clueless Milei.
