This is my view of the sickness/condition of the West today to keep my comment short & simple. "Milei has telepathic conversations with his dead dog. Paid $50,000 to PerPETuate to clone the dog 'Conan'. He now seeks counsel from his new dogs (5) on policy & more."

Yep, things like that, though I deliberately excluded them, appear to be more than propaganda. I go with the opinion that he was damaged by a terrible childhood. Kids at school thought he was crazy. His unmanaged anger will be an interesting test for his fellow politicians. Hopefully, he doesn't grow illusions of grandeur. Argentina needs help, thus needs change. But we are what we vote for, and have the right to vote when uneducated.

From all the foreign comments I've read in various media platforms, people are actually hoping he'll have Argentina leave BRICS+. Consensus is that Argentina is a dead weight & only Lula wanted Argentina when no one else did. Summed up opinion of joining the petro-dollar, "It is ok to tie up with a sinking ship if you are already half-way drowning."

Good luck with that. I've been quite absorbed reading "Simplicius The Thinker". I hate being a female because I absorb things on an emotional level so I felt ill. Takes me longer to be objective. Sometimes I just give up!

I think I'll re-read the Milei dog story just to make me laugh. Btw, I don't accept anyone's "terrible" childhood. I had a psychologist actually faint when I told her mine and that was from the characters involved not my personal trauma. 😂
