That said, I should note that the Trumpian Chucky doll that runs Argentina currently (Milei) is obsessed with endearing himself to GOP neo-cons by toppling Maduro.

And while he subjects Argentina to the worst crisis since their 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 this "epic" intelligence operation against Venezuela - which by Argentine law he would need congressional authorization for.

Not that it's ever stopped him - since he's ruled mostly be decree since December (with disastrous results).

Cry for Argentina.
