Buying the dip on Argentina. Using them as the front line in a proxy war. Leaving them as a pile of rubble as you settle the conflict in exchange for minerals or oil or some such.
But on the bright side it pays for some corn subsidies or something for a boom-bust cycle. It’s as capitalist as it gets! Milei’s leadership was a real monkey’s paw
