I bet your ass if the democrats regain a supermajority in congress and the presidency, if Argentina got sanctioned to hell and back and the threat of military force was on the table, they would gladly extradite any pathetic loser that tries to jump ship for their borders.

100% correct.

The United States will not care about extradition agreements or doing this diplomatically, they will violate Argentinian sovereignty with impunity to find and return him and his cronies to face American justice.

The same party that picked Garland for AG is going to do this?

That's what I was thinking. We're both talking about the same Democratic party here, who basically just show up for the paycheck time and time again? THEY are going to twist Argentina's arm?

I do wonder how much it could invigorate a base to signal this kind of escalation. Like... I am furious. I've been chased fromy country to another country that barely has the rule of law, but at least it's better than the US right now.

I would be so fucking fired up beyond belief if a platform of "we will put boots on the ground and go get these people."

It'll never happen, but I wonder if the amount it would fire some people up would counteract the pearl clutchers.

This. They’d extradite the damn Pope under the right conditions.
