🇦🇷🗳💵 What's in store for Argentina?
The victory of libertarian Javier Milei in the presidential election has left no one in Argentina indifferent. While some are crying over Sergio Massa's speech admitting his defeat, others are jumping in the streets shouting "Liberty, liberty!"
Milei, a self-described 'anarcho-capitalist,' plans to get rid of the central bank and the national currency in favor of the U.S. dollar and eliminate some of the ministries. He also plans to cut government spending.
🔻Milei opposes cooperation with China, Brazil and Russia, favoring the United States. And his future office has already spoken out against Argentina joining BRICS in 2024. That said, it is unclear how Milei plans to deal with IMF debts without China's help: in recent months, Economy Minister (and Milei's rival) Sergio Massa has been heavily relying on the yuan to pay off IMF debts.
Relations with Brazil are about to become tense: President Lula da Silva said the elections were democratic and wished the "new government good luck," but he did not call Milei by name or congratulate him personally. The fact that Milei openly supports former President Jair Bolsonaro will hinder cooperation.
🔻Milei's victory resulted from the population's fatigue from the prolonged economic crisis. As a future president, Milei is betting heavily on ties to the U.S. and the dollar. However, if he is reckless in his actions, he risks plunging the country into an even bigger crisis. This in turn will cause the IMF to increase the country's debt load, as it happened under Macri.
When companies go bankrupt, American and European financial corporations will gladly buy their assets at a cheap price. We have already seen this scenario unfold in countries engulfed in military conflicts (Ukraine) or an economic crisis (Turkey).
🔻That said, Milei's bloc does not have a majority in Congress, so his office will have to work on forming alliances to push through legislation.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🔎 Behind the Scenes - #Ukraine Theatre⚡️
🇺🇦 Zaluzhny's resignations are continuing. The previous one was scheduled for yesterday's meeting at the Supreme Commander's HQ. Zaluzhny was indeed present there and even reported to Zelensky about the difficult situation on the fronts. But he remained in office. Bye!
🔹 Meanwhile, Poroshenko took care of the situation at the front and in the rear. He told the foreign press that the government was lying to the population about the real state of affairs at the front. As a result, people do not realise the need to mobilise, see how protesters are being arrested, and flee the country as best they can. At the same time, according to Poroshenko, European countries should continue to regularly supply Kiev with the necessary weapons, without putting forward any conditions.
🔹The €50 billion allocated by the #EU for 4 years is fueling the appetites of Ukrainian officials. Former Ukrainian ambassador to #Germany Melnyk, who was transferred as ambassador to #Brazil after a series of scandals, demands that #Europe allocate 1% of #EU GDP to #Ukraine. According to his calculations, this amount should amount to €160 billion annually. He also expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the German government had agreed to arm #Ukraine for only €7 billion.
🔹#Ukraine intends to produce one million FPV drones in 2024, as aid supplies from Western countries are decreasing, the Wall Street Journal writes. The drones will be assembled in small workshops in #Ukraine.
❗️On a personal note, I would like to say that a million FPV drones are much more dangerous in their effectiveness than a million projectiles. Zaluzhny said that the AFU will be dependent on drones. They don't just talk and plan, they do it right away. FPV drones are now allowing the AFU to make up for the shortage of shells, artillery, military equipment and aircraft. We must be prepared for the fact that they will have many more drones on the frontline than now, although there are already quite a few of them.
