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.
