    Milei didn't DEFEND the 30% inflation rate, he explained that it's better than what it could have most likely been (45%). He says 30% inflation is still a disaster. Who writes this crap???

    jlt, presumably some 'useful idiots'. This sort of 1984-style truth reversal is regrettably all too common in today's polemical and ideologically biased on-line world. I read a dozen news outlets from across the political spectrum every morning and trust not a single one.

    TWIMC...

    - Hereby a kind of kind article about President Milei..., recently published in an Anglo newspaper that was kind of trustworthy just a couple of decades ago..., written by a still very trustworthy Engrish journalist...

    https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/06/rishi-sunak-javier-milei-donald-trump-atlas-network

    - In his gloriously British magnanimous style..., George Monbiot avoids almost any mention of Javier Milei's Messianic Sociopathic character..., amply documented in hundreds of YouTube videos of his last eight years TV interviews ..., available to anyone who wants to see them...

    With no fear of exaggeration..., I would compare him to that Yankee Internet Personality called Alex Jones...

    Capisce...?

    Do some unbiased research on Alex Jones, you'll find he's not far off the mark on many things. Not my cup of tea but he deserves listening to. American politics is a cesspool of corruption and criminality.

    Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

    - As if..., auld, poor little me..., needed an accolyte of an Argentinean Messianic Sociopath & Monumental Liar to tell me the EVIDENT FACT that “American politics is a cesspool of corruption and criminality”...!

    - Just take a look at Palestina..., Ukraine..., Yemen... or any other of the hundreds of current “hotspots” in our Planet...

    - But all that shiat won't certainly be solved..., by fools drinking the Kool-Aid & Rimming the Anus of personages such as Javier Milei or Alex Jones...

    - Such “ TrueTelling Charismatic Individuals” would most probably make it end for all 8,000,000,000 of us..., as James Warren Jones did in 1978's Guyana...

    What this world needs is less cesspool American politics!

    And more clean Peronist politics.

    Javier Milei will never match the Peronist stellar performance in Argentina, the US must have gotten him elected!

    Also, this world needs more Vladimir Putins. And more Hamas! And more Houthis!

    These guys are good for the world! They do good things. The US is the real trouble maker in Ukraine, and Palestine, and Yemen.

    Putin attacks Georgia, then the Crimea, then Ukraine, but the real invader there is the US.

    Putin puts political opponents in jail, holds fake elections, then acts like he was legitimately elected. He has to do it this way because he sucks and would never be in power any other way.

    So, the Ukrainians don't want anything to do with Putin. But really the US did that.

    Hamas flies over Israel's walls, kills 1200 people, kidnaps 300, but the real butcher there is the US.

    The Houthi rebels in Yemen attack shipping, that's really the US attacking there too.

    The US should just let China have the South China Sea with its fake claim, then there wouldn't be a hot spot there.

    Being a citizen of China would truly suck, but the US should just let China take over Taiwan and ruin its people, then there wouldn't be a hot spot there!

    North Korea has a very special government, no need for a US presence there.

    Islamic Jihaad is a group of true angels! The US should just let them rule the land they took over. The people there would be very happy for that. Yankee go home!

    The Iranian government beats women to death, more angels, but if the US would just leave Iran alone, there wouldn't be a hotspot over there.

    Putin gooood! US baaaad!

    Why can't everybody see this? They just don't have the elevated intellect you have.


    Are you sure you haven't been drinking any Kool-Aid yourself lately? The same Kool-Aid that fanatic Brasi has been drinking?

    Or are you now beaching it in Hawaii, hanging with Patrick and smoking a big bag of his heavy duty Hawaiian weed?

    And what is the common denominator between Palestina..., Ukraine..., Yemen...

    You guessed it, all three awash with Iranian supplied weapons.

    Iran that bastion of human rights and a veritable paradise on earth, if you’re a complete nutter.
