Foreign Affairs

Milei and the (notoriously fascist) Argentine RW are currently frothing at the mouth in fear that the affable and telegenic Governor of Buenos Aires Province (Axel Kicillof) might defeat the increasingly unpopular and autocratic Milei next year.

Kicillof, 54, would, if elected, become Argentina's first Jewish president - which has really added to the rabid panic most local RWers already feel at the prospect at having someone they see as (of course) "a communist."

He's also responsible (along with then-President Cristina Kirchner, who the Argentine RW hates in much the same "lock'er up" way the GOP hates Hillary) for the 2012 partial renationalization of YPF, the country's largest energy firm.

The move was key to the subsequent development of Vaca Muerta, one of the world's largest unconventional oil/gas fields.

Today the source of 60% of Argentina's oil and gas, the already-bankrupt country would be in an outright depression without it.

Of course, 18 months is a small eternity in politics - so ya veremos.

We'll see.
