Absolutely! 💯🔥but even if you put that aside, he is still an IMF pawn despite the tough guy talk and that says it all
Discussion
This is a rational assumption. However, didn’t Nayib Armando Bukele Ortez of El Salvador also cave to IMF’s power of the purse?
He did and while I think there are differences between ES & Argentina, I did write an article or two about ES’ capitulation
President Bukele had massive public support and viable debt alternatives to remain solvent.
Shouldn’t we consider that he was given an offer he couldn’t refuse by Economic Hitmen?
“If we faltered, a more malicious form of hit man, the jackal, would step to the plate. And if the jackals failed, then the job fell to the military.”
- John Perkins, “The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man”
I don’t know but It’s very likely, because at the end of the day he was not only indebted to the IMF but the whole #btc thing was something they didn’t really want
Does he? 😂
You sure? 😂
“Bukele is highly popular in El Salvador, where he has held a job approval rating above 75% during his entire presidency and averages above 90% approval, and is popular throughout Latin America. “ - (Wikipedia, 2025, para 4)
