Not as evil as the meme alleges.

“The Mi-17E helicopters, previously employed for logistical support in Antarctica, were acquired from russia but faced operational challenges due to sanctions-related difficulties acquiring spare parts. However, the United States facilitated the deal by offering Argentina a financial incentive: partially offsetting the cost of these helicopters against Argentina’s planned purchase of F-16 fighter jets from Denmark.”

In other words, they got rid of two ‘copters that were unusable because of a lack of spare parts to get a discount on some F-16 jets.

Smart move.
