Argentina: President-Elect Javier Milei Promises ‘Spiritual’ Israel Trip, Will Move Embassy to Jerusalem
Breitbart ^ | 20 Nov 2023 | Frances Martel

Argentina’s libertarian President-elect Javier Milei confirmed on Monday that he would make visits to both Israel and the United States before his inauguration on December 10, trips he described as “spiritual” and intended to meet with rabbis whom he had consulted during the election.

Milei won the presidency in a landslide on Sunday night, defeating the current Minister of Economics Sergio Massa, a socialist. Massa’s tenure has been defined by inflation of upwards of 140 percent, skyrocketing poverty and joblessness levels, and the worst economic crisis in the nation’s history. Milei, a self-described libertarian, has promised to install the U.S. dollar as an official currency, dramatically cut government spending through the elimination or privatization of agencies, and eliminate the Argentine Central Bank.

On foreign policy, Milei promised to abandon the pro-Iran, pro-China policies of incumbent President Alberto Fernández and the long line of socialist Peronists who preceded him and has repeatedly stated that Argentina’s top allies under his administration will be Israel and the United States. Milei reportedly began studying the Torah and considered converting to Judaism from Catholicism in 2021, and has maintained regular studies with multiple rabbis. […]

Argentina has Latin America’s largest Jewish population, estimated at 250,000 people.

Milei’s enthusiastic support for Israel — particularly following the unprecedented wave of terror by the genocidal group Hamas in the country on October 7 — marks a dramatic shift for Argentina, which under socialism has built significant ties to the Islamist regime of Iran. The current vice president, former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, has faced formal accusations of helping Iran protect its terrorists believed to be responsible for a deadly terrorist attack in Buenos Aires in 1994. …

A refreshing individual. Has certain personal habits frown upon. But conservatives can’t have the whole cake. Better 80% than no cake at all. The knives will be out for this guy. The statists don’t give up. Ever

Milei is an interesting and colorful character. He is not "far right wing," as the globalist Mockingbird Media is portraying him, but he is definitely about busting up the socialist "sh!t libtards" as Milei calls them.

Here is a short video by Paul Joseph Watson that shows the different sides to this guy.

Based? youtube 8:37 Paul Joseph Watson

His voice sounds like Hitlers when he’s giving a rialed up speech after watching the video.

Ideological purity. E.g the U.S President must be a saint and tick every box that many conservatives may have. Usually in the culture wars department

He should swing by Italy too. But snub Sanchez by not dropping by Spain. The Italians would love his flamboyance

I don’t think anyone really does that.

I noticed that those that presume to make such demands of candidates on here turn out to be liberal/RINO trolls.

He’s outnumbered in their legislature. If his opponents don’t want to play ball he’ll feel like Trump. The people will have to rally behind him. This ain’t done.

The Neocons are likely already plotting his coup by not going first to Ukraine as they DEMAND.
