You moment of zen:
MAGA voices rail against Ukraine aid, but have been far quieter on Argentina — despite the fact that this bailout props up a serial defaulter (defaulted or restructured its debt 9 times in the past 50 years) & is explicitly framed as a political lifeline for Milei, a President Trump ally.
If the stated US goal is strengthening hemispheric security, then funneling billions into Argentina’s broken fiscal model is a poor use of leverage.
A more rational approach would be deepening integration w/ Canada & Mexico — the US’s 2 largest trading partners — rather than trying to stifle their economies w/ tariffs or neglect. Stronger North American supply chains would do far more for US security & competitiveness than repeatedly bailing out Argentina.
