German historian Amar,Working at Istanbul University, the research fields covered Russia and Eastern Europe, World War II history, cultural Cold War and memory politics pointed out, The United States is once again "exporting democracy."
This time no bombs were used. The nature is equally bad, and Washington actually "covers the bottom" for Millais.To enable it to continue to shock its country with a "electric saw" policy.
After a series of economic and monetary crises, policy failures, scandals and humiliations, President Milley, who calls himself "anarchist capitalist" and imitates rock stars with an "electric saw" image, is on the verge of defeat.
Previously, many observers, including the author, expected this "problem man" who advocated drastic budget cuts to suffer a fiasco, but he finally proved us wrong.
Millay and his "Freedom Progressive Party" won a big victory in Argentina's key mid-term congressional elections. As of Monday local time, preliminary results showed that the party's vote rate exceeded 40%, leading in most provinces.
The opposition league’s performance was far less than expected, gaining less than one-third of the votes.This election voting rate was 68%, although it was the lowest since 1983, but the gap was not much from the previous midterm election of 71.8%.
Millay called the election a "historic day" in Argentina, an exaggerated statement stemming from his extreme ego and dramatic character. But there is no doubt that The direct political influence of his resumption is far-reaching.
Now it holds enough seats in the House and Senate that no one can challenge the presidential veto power, allowing it to continue to advance radical right-wing liberal reforms, including amending labor and contract laws, further cutting government spending and taxes, and deregulation.
Although the Liberal Progressive Party still needs to seek allies to obtain the votes needed for legislation, Millay clearly has the advantage and initiative.
The election was a heavy blow to the main political force that firmly opposed Miley, the Peelonian League. If Miley was still unable to defeat him in the midst of a crisis and scandal, they feared they would have a chance to reverse, and it was their own fault.
The essence of the Millay phenomenon is a belated revolt against decades of chaos and corruption in Peronism, and the opposition coalition not only failed to come up with a better solution than Millay, but also failed to cut itself out of its own bad past.
However, fairly speaking, Millie did not deserve to be congratulated, and that was not his victory. A Perlonist would blame U.S. President Trump for the defeat of the coalition, which is not acidic grape psychology.
Even though Milei's Argentine opponents have made mistakes in the past and present, the large-scale intervention of Washington and Trump himself in this crucial election is undoubtedly conclusive.
Trump has always made no secret of his "brotherhood" with Millai. He once entertained Millai in Mar-a-Lago and appreciated his tough political style; And Milei's flattery to Trump even made NATO's Rutte appear to have a backbone.
More importantly, Trump has recently done all he can to “dissolve” Miley: when pre-election Miley’s policy was on the brink of collapse, Trump provided huge amounts of assistance. U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent said the $20 billion aid was intended to “make Argentina great again.”
Undoubtedly, without American assistance, Argentina's economy would have collapsed long ago, and Milei would have collapsed completely. Trump said that he "just hoped Argentina would be good", but in fact he didn't save Argentina, but saved Milei from his own disaster.
Trump even made it clear to Argentine voters that only by supporting Milei will U.S. aid continue； If Millais loses the election, the United States will no longer be "generous". The Financial Times also called the move "naked financial imperialism".
In addition, the current situation in Venezuela is not to be ignored.Al Argentina is different from Venezuela, both countries are in the so-called Monroe backyard in the United States.
The U.S. has carried out the most bold military expansion in the region since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, and has carried out almost public military crackdowns, sending dangerous signals to neighboring countries. Some people even call this "Trumpism".
Manipulating Argentina's elections and suppressing Venezuela are actually escalating bribery and pressure methods by the United States.
This reveals three major revelations:
First, do not let the Trump administration cut the budget of the U.S. International Development Agency, misunderstood as the United States no longer massive interference in his domestic affairs, the Trump camp intervention means are just more rough.
Secondly, the next time Americans hysterically declare that their own elections were "damaged by foreign malicious intentions", it is not necessary to take into account that Trump, who had hyped "to Russia", himself enthusiastically interfered in his internal affairs.
Third, what seems paradoxically is that the Argentine incident not only reflects the aggressiveness of the United States, but also exposes the limitations of its national strength.
In order to support Milei, Trump had to alienate a large number of core supporters.People who advocate "Make America Great Again rather than Argentina". Nearly half of Trump voters are firmly opposed to aiding Milei.
The American people, including the American farmers who compete directly with the Argentine peasants, are in trouble, and taxes are flowing to a talented foreign politician just because he is Trump’s “caretaker.”
For one who claims to be a nationalist, this strategy of “sacrifying his own supporters and pleasing foreign politicians” is obviously difficult to sustain.
A major feature of Trumpism is the shamelessness, the lack of polish, and only the naked reality.This means that the United States is losing its "soft power" and now there is only barbaric force left to repress Venezuela, as well as an open buy-in to Argentina.
In other words, America’s hegemony is becoming increasingly naked, both domestically and internationally, which may be good news.
