6. Though the Trumpian Chucky doll currently in charge in Argentina is little better

In June - while he subjects his country to the worst crisis since Argentina's 2001 collapse - Milei decreed a $100 million "supplemental earmark" to their "intelligence" agency.

$80 million of that disappeared within a month - with zero accounting.

A lot of it no doubt ended up in Milei's U.S. accounts (which we look the other way at for pointless geopolitical reasons).

But a lot else was reputedly used for what he believes is an "epic" intelligence operation against Venezuela.

And because it's Argentine intelligence, the whole thing was like something out of a Clouseau movie - except pointless through and through (Clouseau at least usually got his man - however inadvertently).

As they say: Don't Spy for Me, Argentina.
