  Or maybe we should redefine 'vulture capitalism' to be borrowing money from naive Americans, Europeans, and Japanese by blatantly lying to them, then corruptly stealing and squandering the money, then refusing to pay it back all the while claiming that you are a victim and that the people whose money you stole are 'imperialist colonialist aggressors'. Now that's quite a playbook.

    I don't think you understand the formal use of the term 'vulture capitalist' https://prospect.org/economy/vulture-capitalism-killed-sears/ https://prospect.org/economy/vulture-capitalism-killed-sears...

      'Vulture Capitalism' is not a 'formal' term, and yes, I'm well aware of how it's generally applied. I obviously don't agree with it. Particularly, in this case, the vulture is the corrupt government of Argentina.
