Argentina Gambit: A New Hope for Ukraine? - UATV English



Recently elected Javier Milei of Argentina seems to be a promising politician to counter Russian aggression. A new hope for Ukraine in Latin America – Milei is often called a friend of Ukraine, and we have already seen the transfer of a couple of military helicopters.

The second Trump gets back in, if he does, Milei will pivot toward Putin faster than you can say tango.

Of course though, by then Milei might not even be in the Casa Rosada anymore.

Those old choppers, for one, have already been shot down (leaving his own country without). Argentina can't do anything for Ukraine - least of all now in the Mileise it's in thanks to that Chucky doll.

Before, at least, they could plausibly take in refugees - with the 5.4% unemployment they had.

Now - with double digits and rising - not even that.
