The hypocrisy of the Trump administration is laughable. On the one hand, they scream blue murder that Marine Le Pen was barred from running in any elections in France on charges of 'corruption'. But, in the same breath, as a favour to their fellow ultra-rightist President Milei of Argentina, they ban Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, the former president and leader of the Justicialist Party, from entering the US on charges of 'corruption' – a first step in the witch-hunt that Milei is determined to continue against his predecessor. President Milei is, obviously, desperate to cause a distraction so that his own potential impeachment is overshadowed. So, he gets his Washington buddies to do his dirty work, targeting Kirchner, for him. Besides the crypto scandal for which Milei is facing impeachment, the President of Argentina is determined that international and domestic public opinion does not delve into the economic and social catastrophe he has visited upon Argentina. As the country’s preventable vassalage to the International Monetary Fund deepens, farfetched stories are published all over the international press of Milei’s economic… miracle. What miracle? That the peso has revalued and inflation has fallen a little. What these stories neglect to add is that, naturally, if you nuke a country, and drive most of its people to abject poverty, yes, prices will stop increasing as fast (since the majority are not buying much anymore) and, yes, as imports tank, the currency may appreciate a little. Caught up in this conundrum, Milei is smart enough to know that it won’t be long before a political tide rises up to drown his Presidency. So, before that happens, he is taking out political figures with the popular appeal to pose a threat to his power. Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was an obvious target whom Milei’s American mates targeted first. She, and everyone who supports basic democratic principles in Argentina, have my unconditional solidarity. reuters.com/world/americas…
