    American here, everything in recent news suggests Milei is a clown though, and I wouldn’t trust another floppy haired politician’s motives without more information.

      Oh he’s a loon, no doubt, and surely not long for this world. The random vitriol from the person I responded to really is a form of nationalism. There is a portion of the English population that harbors endless hatred against Argentina for daring to try to reclaim territory that is rightly theirs. It’s been 40 years but they act like it was last week. (Read on the Falklands/Malvinas war if you are not familiar)

        Dude noone outside of Argentina ever considered your Falklands claim as anything but a bad joke.

          Also, people like me hate Aregentinians because they fucking murdered members of my family in an unprovoked war.

          This really isn’t true at all. A significant portion of the world’s population takes Argentina’s position. It’s really only in the English-speaking world that there is a default pro-British position.

            Nah it’s the position of everyone who understands that the Falklands weren’t Spanish when Argentine declared independence, but British. Who, may I remind you, are not the people you declared independence from.

            Not to mention that Falklanders don’t want to be Argentinian, they very much would like to stay British. Really, stuff that jingoism it makes you look silly.

            Except they don’t, because most countries believe in the right to self determination and don’t think you should be able to invade a countries sovereign territory because “well its closer to us”
