Turning the global conflict meter and looking back at the audience like a contestant on the price is right

    i don't think he alone has enough clout for starting a war with the UK. I think it would be best for Argentina to just let it be for now.

    Mrs Thatcher, still hated by many for ordering the navy to fire on the Belgrano warship, was described by Mr Milei as "one the great leaders in the history of humanity” during his campaign.

    Of course he rides Thatcher

    Mr Milei, 53, said in the debate: "We had a war – that we lost – and now we have to make every effort to recover the islands through diplomatic channels."

    Less insane than most of the shit he has said I guess. Argentina is not getting that Island back through diplomacy.

      Margaret Thatcher was, indeed, a terrible human and had no issue using the gigantic UK navy to put down some brown people in the global south.

    Argentines still vilify the English, this isn't surprising. You find official murals around the city showing the English with labels as "THE ENEMY". There are still people in front of the Casa Rosada collecting money for veterans. Miele would have been all of 12 years old when the Falkland Wars occurred, seems he didn't learn from this.
