Just for who didn't know the story: in order to distract the population from a 120% inflation, the ruling far right dictator decided to take back the islands, (sounds similar?) thinking that the us would support them and that the UK wouldn't fight back.

Anyway the UK is very far and it would take months to send reinforcements, right? And the US loves us, just because we're not communists like other neighbors. We gonna just take them back with a special military operation, no war declaration needed.

While for a short time it worked as the local media was ecstatic about getting back the Malvinas islands and didn't talk anymore about the rampant inflation, it eventually backfired spectacularly and the fascist regime was overturned.

That government was put in power after a US-backed coup overthrew the democratically-elected Isabel Perón. Henry Kissinger was instrumental in orchestrating the coup.

Kissinger has done a supernatural amount of damage to the world.

And he's somehow still alive, thus proving that there is no God.

Yes his existence singlehandedly disproves the fair/just world hypothesis as well.

Turns out that what goes around doesn't come around after all.

He is truly an evil motherfucker. Every once in a while I still come across some fresh new horror he was involved in.

I thought Isabel Peron was just in the line of succession when Juan Peron died, and was herself prone to pursue anti-leftist policies?

She was the vice president and took over when Perón died. And yes, by that time they were pretty anti leftist.
