Top US diplomat for Latin America resigns

4. Typical blockheaded Coldwar-nik

Like most Republicans, Breier suffered from an almost childish binary thinking when it comes to foreign policy: right (even far-right), good; left (even center-left), bad.

Her brief tenure - like the similar post she had in the Dubya years - consisted in flying from Latin capital to capital, giving fluff interviews to the local press as to how great things supposedly are - if a fascist despot is in power.

The most pathetic recent example is probably her May visit to Buenos Aires, where she told the nation's leading right-wing paper "how much I've enjoyed seeing the changes in Argentina over the past four years."

Sure. A debt bubble, the inevitable crash, a massive and ongoing bank and public utility heist at taxpayer expense, a wave of business failures and layoffs, 60% inflation, and a record IMF bailout that can't be repaid (but was granted at Cheeto's insistence).

Sounds like the kind of change a Republican would be most at home with, alright.
