That is not the point. The CIA has no agenda. They have an official mandate that results in a mission, but behind the wording they are free-of-judgement vehicle for a bunch of Frat Boys and their Clans being way to stupid to not being caught or even seen, heard, talked about.
That goes from Senate hearings to drug dealing... and is an impressive potpurri of criminal actions that go either unpunished or are returned eye for an eye by as ruthless other organizations.
The CIA also keeps fighting each other. Not only did they fight the DEA in the War on Drugs or the U.S. Army in about every conflict including WW2, but also just lesser known each other.
There is a great chance that someone working or affiliated to The Firm, the White Collar Crime wing of the CIA, sponsored massively the anti Euro party and another person managed to turn them into a what can be called populist right wing conservative nationalist party just as the Green Party was turned from an ecologic ultra liberal 70ies utopists party to a collective of teachers, social workers and "beauftragten" that hand out like CSU state payed positions across the administration.
The first guy must have wanted to end the Euro for a Swedish, Austrian, German currency Union to do a Soros Vs Argentina. A misconception:
While Soros is famous for "breaking the Bank of England" by shorting the British pound in 1992, his involvement with Argentina has been entirely different. In fact, historical records show that he actually argued against devaluing the Argentine peso and later made money by investing in Argentine assets rather than betting on their collapse. [1, 2, 3, 4]
During the late 1990s, when Argentina’s fixed exchange-rate system (which pegged the peso 1-to-1 with the U.S. dollar) faced immense pressure, Soros explicitly stated that currency devaluation was not an option for Argentina. Although he noted that the peso was overvalued, he argued that the country should fix the issue by making its economy more efficient and reducing corporate taxes, rather than abandoning the peg. [2, 5]
Argentina’s devastating 2001 economic collapse was caused by internal structural issues and macroeconomic traps, not external speculators. The primary drivers included: [6, 7]
* The Currency Board Trap: The rigid 1-to-1 dollar peg made Argentine exports highly uncompetitive globally.
* Severe Debt Accumulation: Severe fiscal deficits forced the government to rely heavily on unsustainable foreign borrowing.
* A Massive Bank Run: The crisis peaked when citizens realized the central bank lacked the physical U.S. dollars to back their deposits, triggering a massive bank run that forced the government to freeze accounts (the corralito). [6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
Instead of shorting the currency, Soros's family office fund, Quantum Partners, took the opposite approach after the 2001 default. They purchased defaulted Argentine government bonds on the cheap, betting that the country would eventually stabilize and repay its obligations. This long-term investment yielded a massive profit years later when Argentina settled its debts with international creditors. [1]
The misconception often arises because critics conflate Argentina's economic woes with Soros’s famous 1992 trade against the UK. In that instance, Soros spotted a fundamental flaw in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism and aggressively shorted the British pound, forcing the UK government to abandon its currency peg. He never executed a similar "speculative attack" against the Argentine peso. [2, 3, 12, 13, 14]
If you would like to explore this topic further, please let me know. We can look into how the 1-to-1 dollar peg worked, the legal battles between Argentina and holdout hedge funds, or how Soros's financial strategies compare to modern-day investors in Argentina. [1, 15, 16, 17]

Bruce Wallace argued with a Morgenstern and very solid Sword in ever conversation about how to conduct business around him never being shy of such an exchange of clarifying reasoning with whom ever there may have come up seeking dispute.
He was called a Rebel after he made is point, finally. While alive that was not that united and differed a very lot.
This is Europa. That's how we role. Until his Kingdome come and not one split second shorter.
