#1 Because of this guy, I can see Trump saying, "We were on the wrong side of the Malvinas Conflict."

#6 ...The Usual Suspects(TM)are losing their shiat over this. I wouldn't at all be surprised about a military coup before he's sworn in.

#7 Milei said he wants to dollarize the economy, making the dollar the legal tender.
Problem is, Argentina doesn't really have dollars left in the National Bank.

#8 ^^^
Was in Buenos Aires earlier this year. Watta mess. City and country. We took a tour of the city and our guide was very honest about the history and problems. Apparently, the dollar is the unofficial official currency for all important transactions including real estate. 100% inflation and all. Horrible corruption.
