Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

and they experience a time of great unrest

Milei and the (notoriously fascist) Argentine RW are currently frothing at the mouth in fear that the affable and telegenic Governor of Buenos Aires Province (Axel Kicillof) might defeat the increasingly unpopular and autocratic Milei next year.

Kicillof, 54, would, if elected, become Argentina's first Jewish president - which has really added to the rabid panic most local RWers already feel at the prospect at having someone they see as (of course) "a communist."

He's also responsible (along with then-President Cristina Kirchner, who the Argentine RW hates in much the same "lock'er up" way the GOP hates Hillary) for the 2012 partial renationalization of YPF, the country's largest energy firm.

The move was key to the subsequent development of Vaca Muerta, one of the world's largest unconventional oil/gas fields.

Today the source of 60% of Argentina's oil and gas, the already-bankrupt country would be in an outright depression without it.

Of course, 18 months is a small eternity in politics - so ya veremos.

We'll see.

ever so much for such an informative and enlightening post

I, too, would enjoy that

Always lots drama in Argentine politics - and 2027 promises to be no exception.

Not least, because Trump (assuming his clogged heart doesn't give out before then) is sure to put his fat thumb on the scale for Milei - like Cheeto did for the Argentine mid-terms last October by threatening to tank the peso if they "didn't vote the right way."

As they say in Argentina, Qué quilombo!

What a mess.

So naive. When you stop to think they supported Trump and his anti-immigration policies, there is probably a person or two who might be holding a grudge.

Is Thiel reviving this migration?

Stay out of America and especially American politics.

flee down there to hide out, away from the Nuremberg trials, including some of the worst like Mengele????????

The CIA itself imported over 2,000 Nazis (many of them war criminals) via Operation Paperclip - some 10,000 if you include dependents.

Some - like psy-ops expert Otto von Bolschwing - heavily influenced the ideological father of today's GOP: Lee Atwater.

His other protégée, Helene von Damm, also served as Reagan's secretary during his years in both Sacramento and the White House.

Chile, more recently, made news by swearing in the first son of a former Nazi officer (outside Germany) to become Head of State: José Kast.

Their richest man for decades (Horst Paulmann) was in fact a former SS officer - something he (like Kast) had denied for decades.

Brazil and Paraguay had a fair number as well - as well as Spain and even Canada.

Like rats, Nazis scurried almost anywhere after defeat.

But yes. Argentina was home to quite a few - possibly even Hitler, who (catch this:) is said to have lived in a cabin designed (unwittingly) by the same architect that designed the townhouse Thiel just bought.

I'd almost bet that Thiel was informed of this coincidence - and that that may have helped seal the deal. Who knows.
