Argentina 2023 election

Well apart from anything else, the 1970s/80s junta were totally economically incompetent.

(indeed, that is a large part of why the Falklands were invaded)

His comments on the Falklands may be "idiotic" in political terms, given how brainwashed and beyond reason 95% of his countrymen are on this topic - but in reality they are almost disconcertingly sane.

(like most Brits, I don't care about them massively - but the idea that the wishes of the locals should be properly taken into account when determining their future, just seems like basic common sense)

This is a pathetic and ignorant thing to say. According to the UN, the Malvinas are a non-self-governing territory, where it is specified that the British settlers are not a people with the right to self-determination, study resolution 2065, please.

Well....it is certainly interesting to see you treating UN resolutions as holy writ, put it that way

Yes, the situation in Argentina currently is so bad that normal "rational" assessments maybe don't fly.
