4. Alas - it's what Argentine elites want. And they usually get their way.

With witless Republican types applauding all the way - if not, tipping the scale outright (that mega-drought last year, for one, was very suspiciously timed - and we know those capabilities exist).

It's no secret that some in Big Business prefer an utterly bankrupt Argentina - as they believe this would be the best way to force them to give away the store, in terms of their natural resources.

After all, it's worked before: the scandalous give-away of the country's state-owned firms in the Menem years, could've only happened after pushing the country to destitution in '89.

And that's where a chaos clown like Milei comes in. He's not there to "govern" or any such thing - he's there to wreck the (already battered) place.

Thanks as always for your feedback and for illustrating the problems - and the problem people.

All the Best.
