    I will be avoiding them and any other outspoken businesses that support Trump this holiday season. It may not be easy but I believe it can be done...

    On a side note Argentina has the best steaks in the Western hemisphere. Buenos Aires is a beautiful city with amazing food. Great looking women also!

    Argentina FULLY REPAID the money made available to them on the currency swap line. Another amazing investment by the USA.

    Liberals look like fools yet again! They trumpeted lies about this deal for months. It was a great investment -- but I guess they'd rather give money to fake daycares run by Somalis! Liberals are just incapable of understanding finance and economics. They are proven wrong time and again.

    Argentina has repaid US for currency swap deal

    BUENOS AIRES, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Argentina has repaid the United States for a currency swap framework it provided to the South American country last year to stabilize its economy, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Argentina's central bank said on Friday.
    "I am pleased to announce that, reflecting its strengthened financial position, Argentina has both quickly and fully repaid its limited draw on the swap facility with the United States, such that the Exchange Stabilization Fund currently does not hold any pesos," Bessent said in a post on X.

    in October, 2025, while dismissing the "affordability crisis" in the US as a hoax, Trump provided Argentina's Milei
    with a $20 billion lifeline, via a currency swap, as US buys pesos to keep the currency afloat.

    This is the antithesis of America first.

    3 months later, Argentina has repaid US for currency swap deal,

    meanwhile, the "affordability" crisis in US has exacebated, to such an extent, that even
    Trump 2.0 has acquiesced to it.

    Trump Is Bored to Death by the Affordability Crisis

    He’s finally started to acknowledge the struggles of ordinary Americans, but he’s incapable of staying focused on them.

    Back to the original question. Milei is a right wing Zionist and a big time supporter of the Israeli genocide. In addition he knows to make the Trump family rich.

    Mega-zionist, crypto scammer Milei has been rolling back laws that protect indigenous lands in Argentina so if a wildfire occurs the land stops being native forest and gets approved for sale/development. In addition, he defunded the National Fire Management system by 80% in 2024 and weakened other environmental protections leaving just 350-391 firefighters nationwide to cover over 5 million hectares of protected land

    Israelis, many of which were active participants in the genocide, have been migrating to the country en masse in an attempt to flee potential charges for war crimes they committed in Gaza.

    Locals have reported that these settlers frequently approach them with low-ball offers for their land. Shortly after rejecting these offers, huge fires occur and these settlers return with even lower offers.

    A few days ago, two israeli tourists started a massive fire and have burned down a protected forest in the Patagonia region forcing the displacement of entire native communities and destroying an estimated 17,000 acres of land so far.

    In 2011, an Israeli was caught setting a fire that burned 42,000 acres of Chilean Patagonia.

    My question is, are there any countries remaining that aren't being terrorized by these people?

    (Also don't google Plan Andinia)
