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).
