Discuss it as in “there’s elections in Argentina, let’s see how we react to the change of administration”. Not as in “I will replace Argentina’s president”.
At least the titles/descriptions didn’t contain anything to consider pulling a Snowden about it.

- ben_w 1y agoThat's what they said, isn't it? Just because some people accidentally invite journalists into Signal meetings to discuss active bombing campaigns, doesn't mean everyone running a financial institution is vying to be named the next President of Argentina.
- aatd86 1y agoNah, it is probably just about rebalancing the portfolio in prevision of the bond market acting up... this is not MKUltra yet. ;D
- dspillett 1y ago> You're being naive. This is exactly what they do. You are being knee-jerk judgemental. They didn't say those things don't happen, just that it didn't appear the comms they received by mistake looked like less sinister interactions with the political world.
- Atlas667 1y agoOops, didnt realize it was the same poster. Thought it was someone else saying these things dont happen.
- kevin_thibedeau 1y agoNot a great example when a $40B bailout is preventing an Argentine puppet from being sacked.
- asveikau 1y agoYes, and the reason I've commonly heard for the bailout was that it is to help US based investors. That's a clear example of the US financial sector influencing foreign politics.
- stareatgoats 1y agoOK thanks, but well, my comment was a bit tongue in cheek anyway. That nuance didn't survive the passage all the way from intended meaning to text interpretation it seems.
