Hey, Argentina being the US's lapdog is a mostly a newish development. Give them a few years to hang Milei before we put them in that group for good.

Honestly that will happen with any Latam country every few years, every now and then a very boot licking government will rule in some Latin American country.

Well that's easily explained. The CIA doesn't technically have a completely unlimited budget and resources, so they have to shift their priorities around the continent occasionally. It might be random, I wonder if they have a big wheel they spin, like on "Wheel of Fortune" or if it's more like the big wheel on the "Price is Right". The big prize for this year is to topple the government and install a new puppet regime in... spins big wheel Venezuela, again! *everyone claps*

it would have taken a serious dip if trump hadn't given him a $20billion loan.
