  • Well it’s a shame they didn’t invest in better diplomats instead of buying advanced fighter jets and the best anti aircraft system of it’s time… because if this is the best they could come up with then it’s simply embarrassing. Where is their bargaining power?

    Thousands poured into the streets the day after and Delcy’s main job was to demobilize them. Not even a general strike, nothing, nada. Maybe these people were never too serious about the whole “Váyanse al carajo yanquis de mierda” thing after all. So in the end we went from a leader who openly defied the US and it’s leaders and understood war with them was very likely to a lady who thanked the genocide-loving pedophile piece of shit of Donald Trump for “his work” while also talking about a “far-right plot to prevent Venezuela from reaching out to the IMF”. Lady, you just thanked them a second ago. Stupid ass incompetent people, they disgraced the dozens of cubans who actually fought FOR THEM.







  • Alright apart from all the unreadable shit that this very trumpian post has I think that picking a fight with fucking TUCKER CARLSON of all people is a massive mistake that could cost Trump well… everything.

    Carlson is on the rise, leaving FOX was very wise and he’s on his way to become the new man for the far right. He’s articulate, can craft arguments and is very good at reading where the society stands in certain topics like “israel” for example. He’s very dangerous and Trump is playing with fire lmao, even though they never got along (in fact they hated each other in private or so I remember hearing)

    Not like a give a shit anyways, Carlson or not the US is going down regardless because the damage is huge and cannot be undone. But it goes to show that Trump 2.0 is very wild and stupid.

    Javier Milei’s image falls almost seven points amid scandals and discontent over economy

    A poll by Zentrix showed a sharp decline in the President’s approval rating, with nearly 60% negative opinions about the country’s economic situation

    President Javier Milei’s approval rating dropped seven points between February and March, amid the political fallout from scandals involving Chief of staff Manuel Adorni and other government officials, as well as growing economic pessimism. According to a survey by consulting firm Zentrix, in the past month nearly six out of ten Argentines considered the country’s situation to be bad. The poll showed that the president’s positive image went from 47% in February to 40.3% in March, while his negative image climbed to 51%, five points above the previous month.

    The drop means President Milei is no longer the most popular figure in the ruling La Libertad Avanza (LLA) party: former Security minister Patricia Bullrich, currently a senator, ranked higher than the head of state in favorable ratings, with a 42.7% positive image and a 50.3% unfavorable perception, according to the study by Zentrix. The decline in the President’s approval rating coincides with a trend shown by most pollsters due to a double setback: on the one hand, the economy has not yet recovered and, on the other, the cases of alleged corruption linked to the cryptocurrency $Libra and the accusations against Adorni of unjustified wealth growth and the improper acquisition of properties.

    However, another recent poll by Opinaia showed that Milei’s decline is not reflected in the electoral arena. According to a survey they released in March, the president would win by a comfortable 20-point margin if elections were held today.

    One of the most sensitive pieces of data for the Casa Rosada (the Argentine presidential palace) from the Zentrix survey was the perception of the state of the economy: 59.7% of Argentines rated the country’s economic situation negatively in March, a jump of almost 13 points compared to 47% in February. This figure solidified a trend of increased social discontent linked to financial hardship, as salaries drop below inflation and levels of unemployment and family debt grow.

    The survey also showed a decline in the overall evaluation of the Milei administration. Approval of the government fell to 38.5%, while disapproval rose to 53%. A month earlier, those numbers had been 45% positive and 44% negative, so March marked a shift towards a clearly unfavorable balance for the ruling party.

    milei’s image continues to degrade. And now, the Trots are starting to show more and more promising results on the polls. Last one I saw had Myriam Bregman, the main figure in the Trot camp, polling at around 11% for the next elections, a MASSIVE increase from the regular 4% to 6% they kinda always had. And while this by no means would secure a socialist future for Argentina it is certainly a trend to keep an eye on. The reason? Ridiculous amounts of campaigning and lots of organizing among the nearly annihilated working class and a very clear anti-milei but also anti-peronist messaging.

    Another reason is that the peronist camp is made up of a bunch of different groups. You have right-wing catholic nationalists living together with kirchnerist, progressive and even socialist-minded people. The fact that most left-wing peronists have had to put up with insanely bad leaders like Scioli (now allied with milei), former president Fernández and former candidate Massa (all center-right neolibs more or less) and the stupid ass bad political calls from Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner made them completely disillusioned, if they can’t craft a moderately good somewhat left-leaning candidate for the next elections we might see a shift of support from Peronism to Trotskiysm. Say what you will about Trots but here, in this country at least, they’re doing a lot of work.




  • Is there any sort of “agreement” or “unwritten rule” in which CSAR missions are not to be attacked? It is very odd (and ballsy too, for all they’re worth) to fly big and slow planes and helicopters through enemy territory with active AD to find some pilots that were just shot down and not get blown to bits. I am quite interested in the iranian response to all this, despite ground fire from local police/militias, no major assets seem to have been moved to simply shot down a HC-130J (a very worthy target). You know, kinda like military ambulances/hospital ships, you kinda let them through.

    Or maybe Iran didn’t respond to this to keep their assets hidden, especially so since the CSAR operation involved so many aircraft from the enemy?
