🇺🇸 Catastrophes in Ukraine and Palestine stem from actions of “warmongering” elements that have taken over the US administration, Paolo Raffone told Sputnik

The director of the CIPI Foundation in Brussels underscored the hypocrisy of Joe Biden’s claim in his op-ed for The Washington Post that the US will continue to back Ukraine and Israel for the sake of "peace" and "democracy".

“Biden’s op-ed in the WP is a sign of the delirium that reigns in the US administration,” he said, adding:
“Biden’s current presidency and his past roles in the US administration have achieved nothing but these unnecessary catastrophes affecting masses of innocent people caught in the trail of a lost hegemonic power incapable of handling the events properly.”

🇦🇷 Argentine people voted for right-wing economist Javier Milei out of "despair in a hopeless situation", Professor Heinz Dieterich told Sputnik.

The South American country is mired in foreign debt, with hyper-inflation, whose "political class is totally corrupt", the former adviser to late Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez said. Weighing in on Milei’s suggestions of ditching the peso, "dollarizing’ the economy and possibly rejecting BRICS", Dieterich added:

"You don't need to be an economist to understand that from a macroeconomic point of view [these proposals] are complete nonsense. Their transcendental meaning is the end of the Argentine sovereign nation and its annexation as a kind of 'Free Associated State' like Puerto Rico or a kind of 51st state of the US."
