| 0:20.4 | This is the newer report I'm John Batchu with my colleague, Professor Evan Ellis of the |
| 0:24.3 | US Army Warholed Strategic Studies Institute. The big election in calendar year 2023 is Argentina, |
| 0:31.6 | a troubled state deeply in debt to the IMF and other creditors, and now facing an election soon |
