On Thursday, Argentine Defense Minister Luis Petri said that his country has applied to become a “global partner” of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). ⠀
Argentina has been an “extra-NATO ally” since 1998, when then-U.S. President Bill Clinton gave the green light to Argentine President Carlos Menem, but “global partner” status is a “step up.”
Milei’s government is dead set on becoming a US dog huh.
what gave it away, the idea to get rid of the arg peso and replace it with the dollar?
Based on what happened to Ukraine, I don’t blame any nation for running to NATO as fast as they can.
Because otherwise… Russia will invade Argentina? 🤨
Even if he invaded he’d leave in a week that shit ain’t worth it
Venezuela almost invaded Guyana. If Guyana was a NATO member it never would have been considered.
You mean the thing that didn’t happen?
Looks like NATO wasn’t necessary to me!
Didn’t happen yet. Venezuela is still escalating tensions with force buildups on the border and passing laws claiming the territory, even though they agreed to go through the ICJ to settle the dispute.
Unfortunately Israel shitting all over the ICJ has delegitimized the court’s ability to weigh in on the matter, but they’re working it out through the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States. This is distinctly different from the situation in Ukraine because there wasn’t an equivalent organization that could handle disputes.

This is a huge blow against nato. Let’s hope they have the wisdom to keep argentina out of their affairs and reject the application.
Side note : this is obviously a joke, but against argentina, and not against NATO.
