Is it China’s fault if countries are stupid enough to borrow money, spend it on ministerial BMWs & then can’t repay it? Is China any harsher with Africa than Germany was with Greece? Nowadays, all borrowed money ultimately comes from someone’s pension funds. When I was young I thought differently, but now that I am a pensioner…..

No. But if the Government thinks it does not have to repay , what chance is there they will repay their own citizens? Tanzanian & various other African states have a 60-year history of borrowing money & not repaying it. That’s why they are poor, because ultimately all economic success is based on honour & obligation. Communist-style theft only works in the short term.

Will he be able to follow up on his promises? 2) Argentina seems to be in a situation where they don't have too much to lose. Electing the same politicians over and over again probably won't change anything for the better. Is like you say, imagine to elect a politician who came for a goverment which made in 4 four years a devaluation of our currency from 1 dolar 62 pesos to 1 dolar 1000 pesos..........not very diferent that happen in your country after WWI .........but in this case without a war, the peronist politician make the war unnecessary for having that results.

He has some things in common with Bolsonaro and Trump but in another things he is very diferent, is a complety political outsider, he was a "media economist" before 2021 when he starts his political career. In 2019, with some friends, we invited him to our city Bahia Blanca for presenting his new book and we have a barbecue after that, "nothing wire" with him and he didnt win any money for this, even he pays his airline ticket.

He didnt scream or doing nothing wire/freak, for TV he can give a very particular image, you know what i mean.
