On December 29, Argentina's new ** Milley said that Argentina has officially decided to refuse to join the BRICS.
In the letter, Millet said the timing of Argentina's membership was "not the right time."
In August 2023, the BRICS summit will be expanded, and six countries, including Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Argentina, announced their membership to join the BRICS, and the original membership was to take effect on January 1, 2024.
As a result, after Argentina's new ** Milley took office, it was not surprising that he chose to refuse to join.
This is also expected, it should be said that it is strange if Argentina Millay's new ** continues to agree to join the BRICS like the previous one.
This Milley is obviously funded by the United States, and after Milley took office, he first went to visit the United States, and although he ate Biden's closed-door soup, he also met with Sullivan.
According to Argentina**, Milley** refused to join the BRICS in the hope of obtaining financing from the United States from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or private investors.
To put it bluntly, Argentina has no money and can only borrow from the United States.
But the United States will certainly not lend Argentina money for nothing, just as the United States provides "aid" to various countries through the IMF, usually with a large number of clauses attached to facilitate the plundering of the country's assets by American capital.
For example, when the Asian financial crisis broke out in 1997, South Korea was on the verge of bankruptcy, and in order to get help from the IMF, South Korea was forced to agree to a large number of harsh terms from the IMF, completely open up its market and finance, and engage in liberalism.
The assistance provided by the United States often comes at a high cost.
Milley would not have been unaware of this, but he was still willing to cooperate with the United States in selling Argentina.
On December 20, Milley signed an emergency decree introducing about 300 measures to deregulate the economy and cut public spending.
Milley said the reforms include the privatization of state-owned enterprises, export liberalization, the removal of ** control, the deregulation of mining and other industries, and other measures.
Milley has previously said that he supports the privatization of state-owned enterprises, including YPF, Argentina's largest state-owned oil company.
After Milley signed the decree, 41 Argentine state-owned enterprises have been added to the ** list.
There is a high probability that these Argentine state-owned enterprises will be sold to American capital.
It's not what is it?
In fact, this kind of ** behavior is not uncommon in countries that have been fooled and lame by the United States.
For example, Turkey is also a typical example, in fact, after Erdogan took office in 2003, Turkey was able to take off for 8 years, which was also achieved by becoming a ** asset.
After Erdogan took office in 2003, he first accepted the International Monetary Organization's $11 billion emergency aid package, and at the same time, according to such assistance programs, he vigorously promoted privatization, globalization, liberalization reforms, and reshaped the economic system and institutional functions.
That's why I've always said that IMF aid comes at a high cost, and there are a lot of strings attached, and if you want to get IMF aid, you have to reshape your economy according to the will of the United States.
As a result, the "Turkish privatization strategy" in full swing began to advance wildly in 2003.
At that time, almost all of Turkey's state-owned assets were taken out for privatization and auction, involving energy, transportation, banking, industry, tobacco, bridges, health, education, housing, and so on.
In the nine years from 2003 to 2012, Turkey's total privatization revenues reached $53.5 billion.
Relying on the large amount of fiscal revenue obtained from privatization, Erdogan relies on such "reform dividends" to promote Turkey's economic prosperity.
This is obviously a bit of a chicken-killing egg-hunting.
In the take-off period achieved by relying on the change of power, which lasted less than 10 years, Turkey suddenly fell into the middle-income trap and entered a period of recession.
If a country cannot even control its own economic lifeline, then it is just a lamb to the slaughter on the board of the United States.
Including the so-called middle-income trap, which is actually the result of harvesting these emerging market countries under the control of American capital.
Every time the United States harvests these emerging market countries, it has to concoct terms such as the middle-income trap, which makes you constantly reflect on whether it is your fault.
This is the American routine.
Argentina is worse now than Turkey.
Argentina has been cut by the United States several rounds of leeks, and a large number of Argentina's economic lifelines have long been controlled by the United States.
For example, the largest oil company YPF, the largest aviation group, Argentina's state-owned postal group, Argentina's national bank, the national railway company, the nuclear power plant company, and the state-owned **, all of which belong to the pillar enterprises of a country's economic lifeline, are now all taken by Milley.
In addition to state-owned assets, Milley also prepares state-owned houses and land.
This is the United States is already pulling out the leeks of Argentina.
In addition to preparing to sell Argentina to the United States, Milley has launched a series of economic shocks**.
Prior to this, Argentina had already taken the initiative to devalue the official exchange rate of the peso by 54% and then closed 9 of the 18** departments.
Although Argentina's economy is already very bad, this makes many Argentines have the idea of breaking the jar and choosing Milley.
But it is somewhat outrageous that a person like Milai who clearly wants to be ** can be selected.
Many of Milley's so-called reform measures, under the banner of liberalism, are in fact pandering to the plundering of capital.
On the diplomatic front, in addition to refusing to join the BRICS, Milley also suspended negotiations with Brazil's common market.
In fact, Milley's election had the greatest impact on Brazil.
Because Milley is the most hostile to Brazil, negotiations with Brazil for this kind of cooperation must have been suspended.
Therefore, Milley is too unreliable, and it is not a good thing to let Argentina, which is governed by such unreliable people, join the BRICS, and it is better not to add it.
Anyway, Argentina is very small and is not an irreplaceable power, and whether Argentina joins the BRICS or not will not affect the momentum of BRICS expansion.
Which of the six countries of the BRICS expansion, like Saudi Arabia and Iran, is not more important than Argentina?
In addition, some time ago, Argentina** was rumored that we were suspending the currency swap with Argentina.
In fact, this is not surprising, although our currency swap with Argentina is a fixed exchange rate, there is no exchange rate risk, but the only biggest risk is that Argentina does not repay its debts.
Although Argentina wants to pay its debts, it will have to weigh the consequences.
But until the situation in Argentina is stabilized, we will certainly not continue to engage in currency swaps with Argentina, and there is no need to increase our own risks.
In addition, although Millet began to implement a series of very extreme policies, these policies were not completely without resistance in Argentina.
Milley's Liberal Forward Party has only eight seats in the Senate, or just 11 percent, and only 38 seats in the House of Representatives, or just 13 percent.
Milley's weak base in parliament is the biggest obstacle to the implementation of his policies.
In addition, no one in the Millet camp has become the governor of Argentina, and Argentina is also a federal country, and whether Milley can get the support of the provinces is also the key to whether his policies can be implemented.
Argentina's power is not as big as everyone thinks, and it's not that Milley can do whatever he wants.
For example, Milley has repeatedly said that he will directly abolish the central bank and the peso after being elected, but so far, Milley has only promoted a voluntary depreciation of 54%, and has not really abolished Argentina's own currency.
Milley wants to implement full dollarization, and he must have dollars in his hand, so I have analyzed before that Milley is trying to obtain dollars by selling Argentine state-owned assets and land, and it is a targeted sale to the United States, and the cat behind it is obvious.
Therefore, the reason why some of Milley's outrageous policies can still be implemented is very simple, that is, the United States exerted its huge influence in Argentina to help Milley overcome these resistances.
An outrageous person like Milley can be elected, and there is a high probability that the back is funded by American capital, and someone on the Internet picked up that the president of the Atlas ** Club appeared in the guest list of Milley's inauguration.
This Atlas ** will be a very well-known liberal think tank.
According to the Global Survey of Latin American Studies Think Tanks, the Atlas is the stronghold of ultra-conservatism, or neoliberalism, on a global scale.
The founder of the "Atlas Society" was the Englishman Fisher-Price, who was an officer in the British Royal Air Force in World War II.
This Fisher was a student of Hayek, who was the standard-bearer of free-market capitalism and a core member of the Austrian school of economics.
Millet was a supporter of the Austrian school of economics.
In 1955, Fisher founded the Institute for Economic Affairs (IEA) in LondonThe institute is conservative and firmly advocates a free market economic system.
The growing influence of this think tank made conservative liberalism an important school of thought, and even became the ideological basis for the "Thatcher Revolution" in Britain, and Fisher became famous all over the world.
In 1981, Fisher came to the United States and established the "Atlas Research Association" in San Francisco, one of the main businesses of the society is to help others build think tanks, in fact, it wants to build a think tank of free economy.
As a result, the think tank chain promoted by the "Atlas Research Association" has blossomed everywhere in South America, and Chile, Argentina, Peru and other countries have established think tanks.
At present, Atlas has established more than 400 think tanks of market economy systems in more than 30 countries, including Turkey, India, and Italy.
The United States may also see that the conservative liberalism promoted by Atlas** is very conducive to its harvesting and plundering, so it strongly supports the advancement of Atlas** in South America.
This also makes the Atlas Association no longer a simple think tank, but an important channel for the United States to export ideology in South America, which is also one of the important reasons why conservative liberalism will spread in South America in the 90s.
After the outbreak of the Latin American debt crisis in 1982, the economic development of South American countries generally stagnated, and they entered the so-called middle-income trap.
In the process, the liberal economy promoted by Atlas** gradually spread in South America.
As a result, after the United States raised interest rates and detonated the South American debt crisis, it relied on the liberal economy to dominate South America, allowing South America to open the door to the United States and allowing American capital to enter South America to plunder.
Therefore, to this day, South American countries, including Brazil and Argentina, generally have the problem that the lifeblood of the country is controlled by American capital.
Most of the profits earned from the core assets of South American countries also flow into Wall Street wallets, and the people cannot enjoy the dividends of development, and the country's economic development is naturally completely stagnant.
Most of the right-wing politicians in South America are supporters of this conservative liberalism, and Milley is the most typical and extreme example of this.
One of the core viewpoints of this kind of conservative liberalism is that it is extremely opposed to nationalization and supports complete market liberalization, so as long as the country that implements conservative liberalism will inevitably be accompanied by the privatization of state-owned assets and become the most powerful assets.
Based on the deep relationship between Atlas and the United States, this also makes the right-wing politicians in South America supported by Atlas basically **faction.
And as a result, American capital is making a lot of money.
Many people think that Milley just started to engage in a liberal economy, but in fact he is not.
South America has gone crazy in the 90s of the last century, and the liberal economy has been crazy, which is an important reason for the erosion of the South American economy to this day.
To put it bluntly, the path of a fully liberal economy has long been proven to be unworkable.
The United States supports Atlas to promote a conservative liberal economy in South America, but the United States itself does not engage in this kind of complete liberalism.
To put it bluntly, Atlas will only be a tool used by the United States to engage in ideological export, transforming the target country into a form that is convenient for its own harvesting and plundering.
By exporting a conservative liberal economy, the United States has successfully transformed South America into its own large leek fields, and every time American capital is hungry, it will first cut South America.
This time, the United States is planning to pull out all the leek roots in Argentina.
This also shows that the United States is currently suffering from its own problems, so much so that it is starving.
