Russia has invested a huge amount of time and energy in the global south, and what it desperately does not what is for one of the regimes it has been visibly propping up to do something that results in every political leader in the region saying 'actually yeah when the chips are down we are obviously going to turn to the US as our guarantor of stability'.

Quick 'anti-corruption' fixes tend to involve a bit of centralisation of power and replacement of officials with new, loyal people.

And that will indeed solve the corruption problem. For about two weeks.

This is what you get when people decide that they want change for the sake of change.

Maybe this is what Argentina needs and Milei will go down in history as the guy who was willing and able to sacrifice his long term political career to get a bunch of necessary changes made in the Argentinian economy, but who knows. Hopefully not too many people get hurt along the way.

When inflation is at 160% and you are on your 6th recession in 10 years your policy choices are about who gets stuck holding the big bag of poo poo that's been passed around for years, you don't get to pretend there isn't a big bag of poo poo.

Milei is absolutely going to gently caress it up and the next election will return a Peronist left government and Argentina will stay stuck in the cycle its been stuck in for the last 100 years.
