    Hey, Argentina being the US's lapdog is a mostly a newish development. Give them a few years to hang Milei before we put them in that group for good.

    Honestly that will happen with any Latam country every few years, every now and then a very boot licking government will rule in some Latin American country.

    Well that's easily explained. The CIA doesn't technically have a completely unlimited budget and resources, so they have to shift their priorities around the continent occasionally. It might be random, I wonder if they have a big wheel they spin, like on "Wheel of Fortune" or if it's more like the big wheel on the "Price is Right". The big prize for this year is to topple the government and install a new puppet regime in... spins big wheel Venezuela, again! *everyone claps*

    it happens every single time a leader is successful in steering its economy towards self sufficiency despite the road blocks put in place by the local american back oligarchy like it's happening in mexico right now.

    unfortunately, it's going to take a while since his approval rating is high rn.

    it would have taken a serious dip if trump hadn't given him a $20billion loan.

    Comically evil settler states that exterminate the indigenous population band together.

    Argentina is by far the whitest, least-indigenous Latin American state of course.

    Honestly seems way better than most of the region. A negligible white population, prominent Mayan population, and the creoles may not be "indigenous" but they are certainly colonized. Garifuna are a Black-Indigenous mized people speaking mostly Arawakan.

    It’s a bit like asking: How many of you are currently torturing people or planning to do so in the near future? Even if you aren’t actively participating in such heinous crimes, but your best buddy is, and you don’t want to sever the relationship, that counts as well.

    It's not even that, a good chunk of the countries who voted yes probably are currently torturing people or planning to do so in the near future. Ffs North Korea voted yes. These are just the countries self righteous enough to think torturing is a good thing and are willing to go on record to say so.

    Lol when I saw the title of this Lemmy post I thought to myself "I bet it's the two usual suspects voting no" and lo and behold. Plus their third.

    Actually it's not torture, it's Enhanced Interrogation Techniques. Totally different so it's completely fine. \s
