I really don't know why you hired all of them in Operation Paperclip BrooklyMan, it almost seems as if the US is a fascist regime all along. I guess being born there gives you selective memory.

Furthermore, I never said that, what I said is that paying in yuanes and not in dolars is best for us, I give a fuck a bout the nazis, kill them all. How is something that happened 80 years ago has anything to do with the current situation regarding the debt trap by the FMI.

Group of 104 German rocket scientists in 1946, including Wernher von Braun, Ludwig Roth and Arthur Rudolph, at Fort Bliss, Texas. The group had been subdivided into two sections: a smaller one at White Sands Proving Grounds for test launches and the larger at Fort Bliss for research. Many had worked to develop the V-2 Rocket at Peenemünde Germany and came to the U.S. after World War II, subsequently working on various rockets including the Explorer 1 Space rocket and the Saturn (rocket) at NASA.

nice whataboutism, but this isn’t about the US, it’s about Argentina’s sordid past and its refusing to abide by its agreements to the IMF.

nice try at deflection, though. there’s only so much you can blame others for your own failures.

How is something that happened 80 years ago has anything to do with the current situation regarding the debt trap by the FM

yet you used Operation Paperclip as a defense… so, which is it? you can’t have it both ways.

And why do you bring Argentina as if the US is free of guilt, you did much worse, and you talk to me about whatabutism when you didn't even have any single consequence?

It was not an agreement, it was a debt trap with a corrupt politician and an economic weaponization of debt, that is the only purpose of the IMF and you know it. It wasn't our failure, it was something your country does to fuck everyone up.

Argentina borrowed money from the IMF, not the US, so the US isn’t involved. You’re just attacking the US because you don’t have a defense for Argentina’s actions, and you think it will hurt my feelings. it’s a whataboutism.

Whataboutism or whataboutery (as in "what about…?") denotes in a pejorative sense a procedure in which a critical question or argument is not answered or discussed, but retorted with a critical counter-question which expresses a counter-accusation. From a logical and argumentative point of view it is considered a variant of the tu-quoque pattern (Latin 'you too', term for a counter-accusation), which is a subtype of the ad-hominem argument.

It was not an agreement, it was a debt trap with a corrupt politician and an economic weaponization of debt, that is the only purpose of the IMF and you know it. It wasn’t our failure, it was something your country does to fuck everyone up.

lmao, again, Argentina borrowed money from the IMF, not the US. get your facts straight, lol

Sadly the same party where that politician was present is presenting themselves for elections, and there's a high chance they'll win.
