MMW: US aid to Argentina is to establish a safe haven for if/when there is backlash against authoritarianism in the US

What an ironic coincidence that tens of billions of dollars are being diverted into a country that one of the world's most notorious authoritarian regimes used for its escape hatch when the tide turned against them.

There's no other justification for these kinds of "aide" amounts, it's unprecedented in a country that has a $2B trade balance with us and is geopolitically detached from us. I am sure it's purely coincidence that Argentinian law expressly prohibits extraditions for political crimes.

$20B has already been granted, word now is another $20 is about to be. $40B is about $114 per US person, or about $400 per average American household to provide a safety net for a small number of politicians and pundits. Would be interesting to know who was, and wasn't included in the lifeboat. If there's 100 seats, that's $400m per passenger.

That's a shit ton of money. It's 16% of Argentina's entire GDP. It's more than aid to Israel. It's several times more than all the aid to South America combined. It's several times more than all of Africa combined. I cannot stress what an unprecedented amount of aid this is. It's half of all foreign aid for the entire globe, including Ukraine. For comparison, its 6,300 times the aid we give Argentina per year normally. $6.3 million last year, $40,000.11 million this year.

I predict we'll know the answer to this (the date) within the next 4 to 6 years, and that the evidence will be refused extraditions by the Argentinian government.
