Make no mistake about it. This is where America is headed...very soon, unless things change.

Political culture matters.

I read a white paper from the old IMF which documented the number of times Argentina defaulted on its debt throughout the 20th century. Given that EACH time, new investors showed up eventually and were lured in, one may argue it is rational for the Argentinian governments )plural) to have done this. Screw over some investors, and then wait for the next crop. Rinse. Repeat.

>>The population is majority European in ancestry: about 50% Spanish, 50% Italian,

The problem is cultural.

[ClearCase_guy]

Yup. Argentina has had good political culture and prospered, and Argentina has had bad political culture and suffered. But they don’t learn and they keep abandoning good political culture. And the US is following that path too.

Add to that the German influence. There’s a reason the Nazis fled there.

Joe Biden is to America what Peron was to Argentina, the trigger for massive national decline.

[OpusatFR]

Brazil. That is where we are headed. If we are lucky. Venezuela if we are not.

[Flavious_Maximus]

The reason Argentina is a failed state is because it is filled with Argentinians.

Same reason Africa is a basket case, because it is filled with Africans.

Yikes...right continent, wrong country...

With God all things are possible.

Without God....it’s all death and taxes. We cannot be God period.

They need a revival of revivals and they’d be thriving in their abundance. Hopefully we’ll beat them to it!

I have been posting that for a LONG time (specifically mentioning Argentina).

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

The problem is cultural.

The problem is catholicsm and the corruption that comes with it.

“Make no mistake about it. This is where America is headed...very soon, unless things change.”

Agree, Argentina is the ROLE MODEL for the Democrats, but who cares, my Senator is a RINO and so I’ll sit out the next election and let the Democrat win!

(sadly, many here agree with the above)

“Argentina is home to 9% of the world’s total [lithium] reserves — “

You have to wonder, how much outside influence/interference might be involved here. I’m not speaking historically, but now. Follow the money. ‘Someone’ probably has a motive to see Argentina in turmoil.

Divide and conquer. I personally think it’s happening here too. A lot of people here are commenting on culture. I think it’s been the long game of outside influences to destroy the culture here, and now we are in the division stages.

[Mark17]

And the US is following that path too.

You are correct sir, unfortunately.

[pgyanke]

Wrong. The Catholic Church built Western Civilization… somehow it just misfired here? Argentina is a major hub of Liberation Theology… Christian Socialism. The problem is the same in Argentina as it is everywhere else in the world… leftists.
