Leaked Diplomatic Cable Shows that Argentine Presidential Candidate Mauricio Macri Asked US Government for Help Against Kirchners
Accused US Officials of Being Too Soft on Argentine Government, Encouraging their Misbehavior and Abuse of the United States
November 19, 2015
Washington, D.C. - A leaked diplomatic cable from the U.S. Embassy in Argentina states that current presidential candidate Mauricio Macri accused U.S. officials of being too soft on the government of Argentina.
Reporting on a meeting between the U.S. Ambassador and Macri in November 2009, the cable, published by WikiLeaks, and previously analyzed in the book "Argenleaks: Los cables de Wikileaks sobre la Argentina, de la A a la Z" by Santiago O'Donnell, states:
Macri reprised an earlier conversation with [the then Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Hemisphere, Thomas Shannon, the State Departments top official for Latin America] regarding the need to set limits on the Kirchners' misbehavior and the USG's supposed "softness" on the Kirchners. He argued that the USG's "silence" on the abusive mistreatment it suffered at the hands of the Kirchners (such as at the 2005 Mar del Plata Summit of the Americas) had encouraged more of the same.
The leaked conversations are likely to be noticed in a heated presidential race where Argentinas national sovereignty, especially with regard to Washington, has been raised as an issue. The Argentine economy was restructured in the 1990s and fell into a deep depression from 19982002, under the tutelage of the Washington-dominated International Monetary Fund. And last year a New York judge ruled in favor of vulture funds, blocking Argentina from paying its creditors. Many Argentines have become wary of U.S. influence as a result of these and other interventions from Washington that had negative outcomes.

Jesus H. Christ. There's has been too much of this going around.
Since they didn't pay for it then, it should be repaid with wildly returned interest.
They were popular among their fellow criminal sociopaths, but let's hope they had to live each day looking over their shoulders after that.
If you can't murder outright, claim the other guy had it coming for denying you your deserved wealth, progress, jolies. Heck, make a law about it, claiming it's right to murder your new "enemies."
