At the beginning of this year, when attending the "42nd anniversary ceremony of the Falklands War," Milley publicly mentioned the Falklands issue, which had plagued Argenty for many years, and said that he wanted to "recover the Falklands." What was quite surprising immediately was that Milley actually openly and secretly "put forward conditions" on both sides of China and the United States, and there was a kind of meaning that whoever helped Argentina take the Falklands would be on Agenti's side.
So, we can't help but wonder what conditions Milley has set for China and the United States to "tempt" the two major powers? According to what is now known, with regard to the United States, which likes to develop its military and engage in global hegemony, Milley expressed his willingness to establish a joint Argentine-US naval base with the United States near the Falklands, which in fact means allowing US military forces to enter the area near Argentina; with regard to China, which is good at economic development and hopes to promote global economic exchanges, Milley proposed that all economic and trade exchanges and economic agreements with China can be resumed.
I have to say that although this Milley is very crazy, these seemingly crazy plans proposed by him actually have something worth thinking about. So, in that case, what do we think of Milley's statement?
First of all, the author believes that Milley's remarks are aimed at diverting the contradictions in Argenti and the people's attention, so that the people will pay more attention to the specific situation in the Falklands rather than in Argenty. You must know that since Milley was elected president of Argenty, his so-called "shock therapy" has not achieved the desired results in Argentina, and Argenty's economy is still on the verge of crisis. Under these circumstances, the Millaean authorities rushed to the hospital and turned their attention to the Falklands. After all, for every Argentine, the Falklands War is a pain in the heart, and by exaggerating the Falklands issue, the eyes of the people of Argenty can be temporarily turned, which can buy Milley time and respite.
Secondly, it is to win Argenty's sympathy and attract attention internationally. Although Argenty lost the Falklands War, Argenty never gave up his claim to the Falklands. By exaggerating the Falklands issue, Milley can make Argenty portray himself as a "victim" in the international community, so as to seek international sympathy and provide public opinion support for a possible solution to the Falklands issue in the future.
Finally, Milley wanted to seek the support of the two major powers by making overtures to China and the United States, in order to consolidate his position. The author believes that the Falklands are likely to be just an opportunity and a reason, and Milley wants to use this reason to express goodwill to the two major powers, China and the United States, so as to win over the two powers to expand cooperation with Argentina, so that Milley can also get international support and his own position in Argenty will be more stable. Moreover, Milley's move can also make the outside world think to a certain extent that it has "caught up" with the great powers, and it can also make Britain fearful, after all, Argenty's own strength is far inferior to Britain, and Argenty can only rely on international support if he wants to do something on the Falklands issue.

First, the mainland has always supported Argentina's demands and propositions on the Falklands, holding that Britain's occupation of the Falklands is illegal, and this is a statement that the mainland has always insisted on in public. However, it is too whimsical for Milley to use the so-called "resumption of trade with China" as a bargaining chip, because before Milley came to power, Sino-Arab trade was thriving and improving, but it was unilaterally mixed up by Milley. Therefore, the author believes that China can strengthen cooperation with Argenti in all aspects, but only if the Milley authorities can show sufficient sincerity in their sincerity.
At present, it is reported that Argentine Foreign Minister Diana Mondino will pay a goodwill visit to China at the end of April, and we may soon find out what the next path of the Milley authorities will take.
