ARGENTINA is facing ECONOMIC MELTDOWN as Inflation hits 113%, Interest Rates are now at 118%, the country is in the middle of a 3 year DROUGHT, the PESO has been DEVALUED and the country is facing a PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION in October. The new leader in the polls is a controversial far right candidate who wants to SCRAP the Peso & the Central Bank and move Argentina to using the US DOLLAR. In this video I provide full details of the current situation and discuss the outlook for the next 3 to 6 months.

It was recently announced that they will be joining the BRICS alliance. So Vlad Putin and Xi can save them. Oh wait, both Russia and China have serious problems of their own.

Argentina, you chose the wrong alliance but good luck anyway!! Lol!!
