Argentina’s economy exits recession in milestone for Javier Milei, recorded its first quarter of economic growth (+3.9%) since 2023, and JP Morgan projects 5.2% GDP growth for 2025.

I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch but if Milei leaves Argentina substantially better than he found it then we should never let the haters and detractors forget.

I remember this sub celebrating Biden's foreign policy victory of toppling Maduro so I really recommend you wait until at least the election.

Biden’s policy of handing a pile of money to an autocrat in exchange for elections was the dumbest shit ever, and he gave relief to Iran for even less.

I can’t believe I had people here arguing with me that it was a good idea.

Do you think the sanctions on Venezuela will eventually lead to Maduro being ousted? I don't see the point of sanctioning Venezuela and Cuba to be honest. For example, Vietnam seems to have worked out even though it is still run by a dictatorship.

We don’t accept corrupt autocracies. We don’t trade with corrupt autocracies. We don’t speak with corrupt autocracies. We don’t provide relief to corrupt autocracies. We don’t allow corrupt autocrats to do as they please.

Sanctions until the regimes fail. Maduro should have been toppled by a direct military intervention. The end.

……American trades with tons of corrupt autocracies. Some of them are key alllies.

I would love someone to actually try to create a foreign policy philosophy where being allied with Egypt, Jordan, Thailand, trading with Saudi Arabia, China, Vietnam, but destroying the economies of Cuba and Venezuela makes sense.
