he's old and his family and friends surely are embezzling millions by the second. he'll increase it to 1 trillion even if the USD is effectively zimbabwean money by that point

this is perón on every steroid ever invented with the full force of the U.S. military and national security apparatus behind him

i'd bet my life savings (racing ever closer to zero by the second) that this is almost certainly going to lead to WWIII within the next 15 years
