Argentine authorities signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the United States whereby the latter's Army Corps of Engineers would get involved in maintenance duties along the Paraná-Paraguay River Waterway, it was reported. US Ambassador to Buenos Aires Marc Stanley was present at the ceremony involving the Argentine agency managing the waterway and the General Ports Administration (AGP).
why?
>You're a gay
He he he
Paraguay's name means "above guay". In other words, it's not just guay, it's guayer.
So, basically, the 3rd world brown corrupt shithole can’t take care of critical infrastructure to the point they require US intervention?
Many such cases!
>US gets diplomatic good will
>US engineers get good, real-world experience
>Argentina gets engineering done
Everyone wins. Except seething turdies.
Third worlders are so degraded they do not understand mutually beneficial relationships between two parties acting in good faith. They only understand social hiearchies based on force and exploitation. The idea of two human beings treating each other as equals is foreign to them.
How did you get to this conclusion? It's actually accurate.
>elect a libertarian
>he sells your water systems to the US army
Based.
After their excellent work on New Orleans the Army Corps of Engineers are in demand throughout the world
You joke but the US Army Corps of engineers made Afghanistans population skyrocket with agricultural projects.
Just what we needed. Even more Afghans.
>elect a libertarian
>he tries to improve public infrastructure
huh?
To be fair infrastructure investment and defense at national scales is the only legitimate mandates The State has to a libertarian.
You obviously are.
Hey, it's Iran and Pakistan's problem now.
Probably hiring the US because of the couple skirmishes between Argentina/Paraguay/Brazil thinking that they won’t shoot at Americans and we can keep the commerce flowing by dredging the river. Hopefully they’re paying us and it’s not more charity that will get forgotten about when South America screams about American imperialism.
Milei's election is a sign that the argentinians at least want to break free from the leftist crab bucket.
Do you think the US just stops paying the engineer corp when they're not building things, anon?
they could be building a bigger dyke here
like your mom?
my mother is not a big dyke how dare you
This, there are plenty of things for the Corp to do here in the US that will give them "real world experience"
That would be "big government" interfering in Republican governor's corruption sche- I mean violating their principles, so a republican dominated congress won't allow it.
Why is Texas building 10x as much solar and 10x as much housing as California? must be some awfully efficient corruption
that would be investing in infrastructure, aka sosialism
yes paying them to work in argentina costs more than having them back at base. are you a moron?
Back at base not learning how to adapt and learn? Getting bored, demoralised, corrupt and useless?
Frick off moron, the point is they will gain skills and knowledge doing something valuable that will pull Argentina AND Paraguay into SOI.
These morons don't understand global hegemonic power, they think their wealth comes only from the things they make and not from the wealth they extract abroad.
>These morons don't understand global hegemonic power
The same global hegemonic power which has let to record inflation, a closed suez canal, a war in eastern Europe, and a rising China is east asia?
They'll be able to buy cheap Argentinian beef and enjoy lower foodstuff prices as well. Also they'll have a friend who sees them as the true beacons of greatness and prosperity, unlike those pesky Chinese.
Soft power isn't as flashy as tanks but it's much more flexible. Usually cheaper too.
How does your roof help you? You don't get wet, it's obviously not doing anything.
Lower prices and increased trade increases GDP. Increased GDP means higher standard-of-living, which is good for you.
>“how does American taxes going to Argentina help American citizens?”
It maintains US hegemony, which is why the US even exists in the first place. Without US hegemony, the US collapses due to hyperinflationary practices, which would destroy the entire American economy and drive the country into a genocidal civil war, as the results of Brazilification are finally brought to the forefront of politics.
I'm sure that's what (You) want, but I don't think the average taxpayer wants it.
1. Peru-Bolivian narcos are huge and growing quickly. They essentially monopolized the marijuana-cocaine smuggling into europe and africa. They intend turning all the region into a narco-region by corruption all goverments. It's more than the traditional "corruption" of always.
2. There're some iranian (and possible others) terrorits cells in the region
3. China has been trying (fairly successfully) to influence all the region inside their sphere of geo-eco-politics.
Improving the public image of the US in the region is important, they're 60 yeas late tho. Take into account that the region was generally pro US during the 1950s but the US and CIA went full schizo-moron in the 50s-60s-70s. For this region even the soviet union was more relevant politically and economically during the 80s, that's how badly the US self-destroyed politically. The chilean exception is mainly due to Allende, an useless commie that destroyed its country, but the rest was anti commie and pro US, yet they got coup etat ed by radical morons backed by the US -and then embargoed-.
thats an extremely simplistic way of telling 30 years of history of an entire continent, its wrong in many ways and dont explain shit in others.
also there are like 10 countries with different history in south america please dont speak about a region you dont want to research about
It's the 'gist' and ignoring 2 or 3 exceptions the rest can be summarized like that.
The public image of the US in SA pre 1950s and pos 1950s isn't hard to describe.
>10 countries with different history
And yet all of them were born from just 4 different histories, ignoring "the guyanas" that "aren't part" of the culture and politics of SA
cope & seethe
How do you know it protects you from the elements? You've never tried removing it. Don't be a sheep.
local media dont speak about it so thanks to letting me know lol.
its a giant infrastructure project unless they bring an entire fleet of river working boats (dont know the english name) they are simply observers (we need to drag the middle of the river regularly to allow big cargo to sail it, if not the mud is too shallow)
>Drag
The word for it is dredge or dredging my learning ESL friend.
Simple setup. One day operation.
We'll pick up their trail at the chopper, run them down, grab those hostages and bounce back across the border before anyone even knows we were there.
why cant the US corp of engis do anything cool in the US?
certain groups of homosexuals get really buttmad about men in uniform doing work for the public and not generating value for the shareholders in the process
but they do
I even saw them working on the Mississippi when I visited a few years ago
t- eurogay
If the U.S. doesn't help countries with infrastructure China will. It's not a difficult decision.
I wouldn't trust them not implement a failsafe of sorts.
But hey, nobody works for free.
>seething argies reported this
post
For what purpose?
Why eurospoors, chinks and browns are seething so much ITT?
