The Javier Milei government's policy of strategic subordination has reached a point of no return. What began with gestures of ideological alignment and admiration for Margaret Thatcher has translated into a dangerous roadmap implemented by Defense Minister Luis Petri, which empties the Malvinas Cause of its content and normalizes relations with the occupying power of our territory.

The institutional gravity transcends the extraordinary. While the United Kingdom —which has maintained the illegal occupation since 1833 —intensifies its military exercises on the usurped archipelago ("Ex-Cape Sword" is the fifth maneuver of 2025 and a violation of UN Resolution 31/49), the Argentine Ministry of Defense opts for active and structural complicity.

The Delivery Axis: UNDEF and the British Embassy

The dismantling of the sovereignty policy is articulated on two simultaneous fronts covered by a cloak of diplomatic secrecy and supposed academicism:

1. The Academic Platform of Subordination: The National Defense University (UNDEF) , an institution created by law to train cadres in the defense of sovereignty, is co-organizing a conference on the war in Ukraine with the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense. This event, promoted by Petri, is not an innocent academic exchange, but a vehicle to absorb NATO doctrine and legitimize the invader as a strategic partner. The event, publicized only by internal mail, demonstrates the discomfort and attempt to avoid public scrutiny for collaborating with a power deploying military might on Argentine territory.

2. Secret Military Meetings: In an action that breaks the most basic logic of state, the British Embassy in Buenos Aires summoned senior Argentine military commanders from Intelligence, the Marines, Doctrine, and Education to a "restricted meeting" to discuss "contemporary combat strategies."

For UK defense officials to secretly summon the heads of our Armed Forces for a "strategic exchange" is an unprecedented abdication and a normalization of relations with the usurper in the most sensitive sphere: the military. The lack of official records and the secrecy are evidence of the concealment of a policy that ignores the constitutional mandate to defend sovereignty.

Concessions and blind alignment

These actions are not missteps; they are the expression of a policy of automatic alignment with the Washington-London axis that prioritizes the North Atlantic geopolitical agenda —the containment of China in the South Atlantic —over the unavoidable defense of national interests.

The message being sent to the world and to its citizens is alarming: Argentine sovereignty, in the concrete practice of the current government, has become a bargaining chip and an unacceptable price to pay for its flawed international integration. Between radar-less planes, tea with the British, and foreign bases, Argentina is positioning itself as a junior partner, surrendering its autonomy in the South Atlantic to those who have usurped it for almost two centuries .
