Are you serious?
If AOC were trash talking Charlie Kirk on her phone texts, would you insist that journalists suppress screen shots of it?
Now that that’s out of the way, what do you think this says about the wisdom of putting US taxpayers’ capital at risk to support a foreign government?
THANK YOU!

I understand your sentiment, but if we don’t help countries in need, especially those in our own hemisphere, then some other country will. And we won’t like who they partner with.
Any aid given must be modest, accountable, and tied to behavior that is favorable to the US.
It must be difficult for foreign countries getting aid from the US, in the sense that one term our President is a conservative pro-American, then the next term our President is a nitwitted globalist. As a foreign leader, how do you play that, especially when you have to face your own electorate?
That all said, it does sound like Milei needs to be summoned to the White House for a refresher course in how the world works, and who is holding the steering wheel.
That's why I said "just kidding."
Are you separating the bailout of Argentina from the rest of foreign aid, or does all foreign aid put American taxpayer capital at risk?
What do you think about "lend-lease" that was used in WW2? Biden signed a 2022 Lend-Lease Act for Ukraine in 2022. Is aid to Argentina a form of lend-lease because a stable Argentina is good for American defense in the hemisphere?
