According to the Global Times, Argentine President Milley, who has just taken office, has ordered a major change in the Argentine military, in which the Argentine Joint Chiefs of Staff is chaired by Isaac, chief of the general staff of the Air Force, and the head of the army is replaced by Presti. At present, 22 generals of the Afghan army will be "voluntarily resigned", and because Presti's predecessor also has to leave, there is a "wave of resignation" of 23 generals in the Afghan army, accounting for two-thirds.
(Milley announced his inauguration in December last year)
Milley's move was seen as an important signal, as a far-right player, he campaigned with radical slogans, saw the dollar as a "lifesaver" economically, and announced an alliance with the United States militarily. And this time, the adjustment of the Argentine Joint Chiefs of Staff is exactly in line with the United States, and Brown of the United States is also from the Air Force. It is clear that Milley is "I will do whatever Biden does, and Argentina will do what the United States is".
Moreover, Milley's "big blood change" of the military is also to eliminate the influence of the former president, exclude the former president's old army department, and Milley will be able to strengthen the relationship with the military. His actions are also seen as part of his aggressive campaign for change.

Milley also made unfriendly remarks about China and Russia during the campaign, but he later restrained himself a little. But he still announced that he would suspend his membership in the BRICS, which was seen as a vote for the United States.
However, there is a strange detail, that is, Milley announced that he wanted to form an alliance with the United States and the West, but at the same time attacked Britain. On January 3, the Arab side renewed diplomatic pressure on Britain on the Falklands issue, demanding that Britain accept to continue negotiations.
(Falklands)
China has supported Argentina's claims over the Falklands, but Milley is now clearly pro-American. Ironically, the United States was also an important factor in Argentina's defeat in the Falklands war. At the beginning, Galtieri, like Milley now, was also a far-right, and he also engaged in the myth of the dollar, but as a result, he messed up the economy and thought of diverting the problem through war. But at that time, the sun never set on the empire still had a breath left, and a transatlantic task force still beat Argentina down. Although the British also suffered heavy losses, the Falklands were eventually recaptured by the British.

Milley's current approach makes people think that he is possessed by Galtieri, and it can even be said that he is the second Galtieri. Because Galtieri was also supported and recognized by the Reagan administration in the United States at that time, because he miscalculated the relationship with the United States, Galtieri believed that the United States acquiesced in his own actions, so he seized the Falklands with a "lightning speed" action. I thought everything would be fine, but I didn't expect Britain to go crazy and the United States immediately turned around, and the result is that Argentina is still in that decline.
(Galtieri)
If we refer to the plot of Galtieri, Milley reorganized his army, moved closer to the United States, and then informed Britain through diplomatic channels to negotiate, does he want to do it again next?
This possibility is almost unlikely, but if there is, Argentina's defeat is inevitable. Because the relationship between Britain and the United States has been further strengthened today, Argentina is constantly being weakened, and it has been entangled for so long to buy a "Thunder" fighter, and the strength of the Argentine Air Force is already very weak, and it is impossible to compete with the British Navy and Air Force, which has completed modernization.
(It was a mistake for the Argentine Air Force not to buy the "Thunder")
And Argentina is betting on the wrong treasure, China supports Argentina's position on the Falklands, but Milley wants to bet on the United States. The mistake of strategic decision-making has already determined what Argentina cannot do on the Falklands issue. Britain would not even bother with Argentina's demands for negotiations, because as long as it was clear that the United States would not betray, Britain would not be afraid of Argentina.
