Javier Milei has been elected president of Argentina: Madman or genius?


After reading the article, I think that Judaism and Zionism are not really separate things. Zionism is the quasi-secular political application of Jewish religious eschatology... But anyway, that's something that might deserve its own thread.

Javier Milei signed Argentina's entry as a founding member of the Board of Peace promoted by Donald Trump. This took place recently during the World Economic Forum in Davos, where Trump ratified the founding charter and Milei participated in the signing ceremony. Milei described it as an "honor" and thanked Trump for the invitation, highlighting that Argentina is joining as a founding country in this initiative to promote peace in conflict zones (initially focused on the reconstruction of Gaza, but with global ambitions)

Members who choose to do so must pay a membership fee, the famous $1 billion. Countries can participate as rotating members for three years without paying anything; however, to obtain a permanent seat (beyond three years), a cash contribution of at least $1 billion is required within the first year of the charter's validity. That money would go directly to the reconstruction of Gaza and other board mandates.

According to reports and posts circulating on social media (mainly on X) and some media outlets opposed to or critical of Milei's government, Javier Milei allegedly offered the Port of Ushuaia to Donald Trump as an alternative way to "pay" or compensate for the $1 billion membership fee required for a permanent seat on the Board of Peace.
MILEI TOOK OVER THE PORT OF USHUAIA AND TODAY HE WILL PUT IT AT TRUMP'S SERVICE

Before meeting Donald Trump in Davos, President @JMilei suspended the authorization of the Port of Ushuaia and ordered its administrative intervention, so that it would be managed directly by the national government.

He is taking it away from the Province of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica, and South Atlantic Islands.

The measure was adopted by a simple resolution of the National Ports and Navigation Agency, which, under number 4/2026, was published today in the Official Gazette.

Milei will offer the port of Ushuaia to the President of the United States for military and commercial use.

In fact, among the grounds for the resolution he used to illegally seize the port, Milei stated that "its location in the South Atlantic, south of the continent, and its proximity to Antarctica make the port a key point for Antarctic supply and scientific campaigns, as well as a port of strategic importance for the Argentine Republic, especially in the custody of its southern waters and territories."

He added: "The Port of Ushuaia is fundamental not only because of its strategic and geopolitical importance, but also because of its role in logistics, regional trade, and tourism."

Milei's decision sets a reckless precedent against the provinces and against the national interest.

All governors should react.​
 

After internal tensions within the libertarian ranks over the design of the agency's structure and the appointment of officials, the government is ready to create the Migration Security Agency. Although adjustments to the decree are still pending, the former mayor of Tres de Febrero, Diego Valenzuela, is set to head the migration control agency. Although its functions would be limited to border crossings, some sectors anticipate that it could be an “Argentine ICE.”

According to sources familiar with the creation of the new agency, the agency's mission will be to control border crossings in order to control migration flows. The agency seeks to combat organized crime and “intensify” the deportation of foreigners who commit crimes. For its part, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has similar functions: it is responsible for enforcing immigration laws, although it does so “at, within, and beyond the borders,” as they themselves explain.​


Milei's ICE got off to a slow start in Villa Celina: “We detected 16 foreigners in an irregular situation.”

The situations of 385 foreign citizens were checked, of whom 16 had neither documents nor authorized residence, so they were ordered to regularize their situation or face expulsion.​

Agree with this comment to a Sott article (my emphasis):
Question: Is all this ICE activity for the roundup of illegal immigrants or is it practice and testing systems for a future which is coming down the pipe for all US citizens? and very probably the rest of the western world.

Our economies have 2 or 3 years at most before they implode. What happens then?

And very probably the rest of the western world...
The difference here is that in Argentina, racial and immigration issues are very minor compared to the United States...
