1. It's pure posturing on Milei's part

In any case, it's purely symbolic - since those helicopters (which Argentina needed - as Milei's wanton neglect during recent flooding showed), have already been shot down.

The minute Trump ambles back into the Oval Office (perish the thought), Milei will do a 180 and back Putin.

That Chucky doll thinks that by waving little Ukrainian (and, of course, American) flags, Biden will strong-arm the IMF into lending Argentina $15 billion.

Which his money-launderer of a Finance Minister plans to make available for asset dollarizing and offshoring to local elites and foreign fly-by-nighters.

That's exactly what happened the last time a neo-con (Trump's pal Macri) was in power - leaving Argentines a $45 billion tab and a massive economic crisis.

And, ironically, more dependent on Chinese loans - which the "anti-Chinese" Milei promptly renewed (with an upcoming trip to China and all).

The one thing Argentina was doing for Ukraine - taking in refugees - it can no longer do, thanks to the utter "Mileise" that smelly little coke fiend has thrown his country into - with 100,000 jobs lost in just four months as of March.

That's equivalent to 750,000 lost jobs in the U.S. - so there isn't much for Ukrainians in Argentina anymore.

2. Any war criminals to offer up?

I'm guessing they may all be dead by now, but Argentina seemed to be hosting a hefty group of NAZI war criminals at one time.

3. Doubtful. Milei is a vocal supporter of the fascist last dictatorship - who were themselves Nazi sympathizers.

One of the dictators from that era (the pathetic Roberto Viola) once scoffed that "had the Nazis won, the Nürnberg trials would've been held in Virginia."

Milei and most of his voters very much share that opinion - though, ironically, they also cozy up to Netanyahoo because, as RW Argentines often put it, "Jews run everything."

That aside - it's not surprising that Milei also follows the generals' disastrous economic policies (think Bush - but without a Fed to bail us all out). And that Argentina's economic performance this year, is on track to match Gen. Viola's in 1981.

A year so calamitous, the country has yet to fully recover (and least of all now).
