On this edition of Parallax Views, foreign policy commentator Eldar Mamedov, a contributor to Responsible Statecraft and Eurasianet, joins the show to discuss the rather hawkish foreign policy inclinations of Argentina's President-elect Javier Milei. We will also discuss MAGA populism's embrace of Milei, who seeks to take a metaphorical chainsaw to the entirety of the Argentinian state apparatus, and the arguments made by figures like Sohrab Ahmari against that embrace. Some issues discussed: potential for Milei to isolate Argentina form both South America and the world, potential impact on relations between Argentina and Brazil, Milei's views on China and Israel, and more. There's also a brief side-discussion on Nagorno-Karabakh and U.S.-Azerbaijan relations.
