After eight months, his performance at the domestic level, beyond some good actions, is marked by a significant number of errors for a supposed libertarian and follower of Austrian economics. Yet, when it comes to foreign policy, Milei is worse. He is a strong supporter of Washington's imperialist narrative, that is, he is not a proponent of non-interventionism in the slightest, and his foreign policy as previously announced and carried out since taking office is one of a neocon in charge of the Argentine government. We will now examine in detail why this is the case.

The Russian-Ukraine war

In February 2022, Deputy Milei made himself very clear. Having denounced on TV the "totalitarian vocation of Putin," he came out in favor of the "free world." He criticized the Argentine government for not taking the opportunity to condemn the Russian invasion and for its "lack of understanding of how the world works," and also went on to say, "I don't make deals with murderers, I said no to China, no to North Korea, no to Russia, no to anyone who doesn't respect the free world."

Milei then continued with "a moral question" about war: "When what is happening is wrong, you cannot adopt a neutral position because you are an accomplice… If you see—this is an example, please—that Tato was hitting Florencia, you have to go out and defend Florencia because you know that's wrong." Surely, but only if you help Florencia with your own, personal means, and if you are sure that Tato was not reacting to a previous aggression by Florencia against him. Nevertheless, moral duties are different from States making war. In his example, Milei equates individuals with States, and while individuals are normally the just owners of all they have in order to fight, no State can claim the same. Milei can only be serious about his example by assuming that the Ukrainian and Russian States legitimately own the territory they claim. However, for libertarians, no government owns properly and justly the entire land area of the country—the land should be properly and justly owned by individuals. And if one State crosses the border and fights against another State, this in itself does not change the fact that both are aggressors over their subject population.

That month also, Milei wrote a message about the war, referring to the "Concert of Democratic Nations of the World," threatened by the military advance of "collectivist authoritarianism," and said:

Those of us who unhesitatingly defend a model of Open and Free Society must join forces in favor of an effective strategy to confront the enemies of Freedom… There is no margin for the Leaders of the Free World to stop in sterile and paralyzing debates…
