Argentina asks to join NATO as President Milei seeks a more prominent role for his nation

www.independent.co.uk Argentina asks to join NATO as President Milei seeks a more prominent role for his nation

Argentina has requested to join NATO as a global partner, a status that would clear the way for greater political and security cooperation at a time when the right-wing government of President Javier Milei aims to boost ties with Western powers and attract investment

These monsters really plan to further destabilize the region.

Bro got the zelensky OS in his neuralink.

Aa yes. Argentina, famously located in the North Atlantic, seems like an obvious candidate for NATO membership.

What's the CIA expecting in South America for them to do this
- I am pretty sure that they are expecting to crush any resistance in the country while destabilizing the region. Ben Norton also commented on that as well.
- Whatever it is, we know Juan Guaidó will stop it dead in its tracks.

I wonder how history will explain these moves. It’s comforting to assume actors being rational, but this is a case of just the opposite guiding a country. Argentina is basically a vast expanse on the edge of the earth. What purpose could a military possibly serve for them? Their relationship with Brazil, their literal only credible threat, was good until recently…it’s just incredible that anyone is able to conjure a lens through which this looks like a good idea
- He is just one of the many compradores throughout the history of latin america. These people hate their countries and worship the US, that is why it makes sense in their head to sell everything to the US/EU, it is internalized racism. In Mexico we call them malinchistas.
  
  The beggars I encountered during my short time in Costa Rica gave me the impression that some in Latam might view westerners and the west in general as big ATM machines that can magically solve the poverty they endure if they just ask nicely and hard enough. Sadly they don't realize that the average American can't even be bothered to learn the name and location of Latin American countries other then Mexico, Brazil, Cuba and Vuvuzuela.
- Despite all his rethoric, so far there has been no major changes on BR-ARG trade and diplo relations as far as I can tell from BR reporting. He backpedaled hard on the more insane stuff right after he won the election.

I thought you had to be North Atlantic to be in NATO, I mean it’s literally in the name lmao

Reminder that Argentina literally went to WAR with a NATO nation just 40 years ago.

I believe the technical term for this is clown shit

Argentena is not even Elegable, all nations have to be northern hemisphere. Do not ask me why I know this thing, but I do
- um, excuse me, Japan and Australia are part of "The West", actually.
  
  yes but the terms of NATO specify countries hold territory north of the Equator, this is likely the only reason Australia and New Zealand are not members.
