Argentina has officially requested NATO to become a global partner of the alliance.

Argentina intends to receive the status of a global partner of NATO; the country's authorities have already submitted an application to join the North Atlantic Alliance. Argentine Defense Minister Luis Petri announced this.

The head of the Argentine military department arrived in Brussels, where he met with NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoana, during which he handed over a letter requesting consideration of Argentina's application to join the alliance as a global partner. The Argentine authorities plan to restore all ties with the alliance by introducing NATO standards into the armed forces.



I met with Mircea Jone, Deputy Secretary General of NATO. I gave him a letter expressing Argentina's request to become a global partner of this organization. We will continue to work to restore ties that will allow us to modernize and train our forces to NATO standards

- said Louis Petri.

The reasons for this decision are not stated, but most likely they are connected with the new President of Argentina, Javieros Miley, who took a sharp pro-Western course, practically cutting off all ties with Russia, but establishing them with Ukraine.

It is worth noting that in Latin America Colombia has the status of a NATO global partner since 2018. Since 2022, it has also been a major US ally outside NATO.

    We'll have to change the name. This is the North Atlantic Alliance. And Argentina does not fit in there geographically.

      They are not asking to become members, but only to become GLOBAL PARTNERS

        However, it is written that they have submitted an application to join the alliance. Read more carefully.

          NATO's trick. as a global partner
          NATO's Global Partners, or partners around the world, are countries that cooperate with NATO on a regular basis but are unable to join the Alliance due to Article 10, which limits countries eligible to join the Alliance to countries located in Europe.
          - Australia
          - Colombia
          - Iraq
          - Japan
          - Mongolia
          - New Zealand
          - Pakistan
          - The Republic of Korea

            As soon as a clown becomes president of a country, the first thing it does is to join the States as a global partner... Probably, so that the States, having their country in every way, will also laugh merrily... Tested by Ukraine and Argentina... laughing

      Japan doesn’t fit in there either. But she, too, is being dragged into the alliance.
      Just like Türkiye, which fit in there due to the fact that a small part of its landmass belongs to Europe. They even wanted and still want to make Georgia a NATO partner.
      And it’s funny, when Europe really needs it, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Israel suddenly easily become participants in various European competitions and sports tournaments. Of the three, only Kazakhstan has little geographic contact with Europe.
      And the alliance has no intention of changing its name. He simply easily juggles various names with which he “gifts” his partners. Among them are the same Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan... Until recently, Ukraine was one of six partners with expanded capabilities along with Australia, Georgia, Jordan, Finland and Sweden. The last two “safely” transferred to the status of “full members”. But what is Jordan doing there, the question is?

    As I understand it, Millay has already resolved all the issues in economics. Remain only in NATO - and there will be complete happiness and prosperity.
    Or is this a cunning plan to return the Malvinas Islands from the WB, which is in NATO)))

      They have already gone to buy bush f16s. It’s not clear why, it’s unlikely that they will be able to fight with anyone other than the hungry inhabitants of Argentina, and for this purpose planes are redundant

      So they had a “choice”: either for the local mixture of Chubais and Nemtsov, or for the local Zhirik of the 90s
      I think that in this situation, we would have chosen Zhirik.

    Well, okay, I understand NATO was created for the war with the USSR, and then with Russia, but why can’t we live peacefully? Do you have a lot of extra money or are there enemies all around?

        not “will”, but “wants”. But their wishes do not suit everyone; when they tried to admit Georgia and Ukraine into NATO, unexpected things happened...

      Exactly. When things in a country are, to put it mildly, bad, they usually point out that there are enemies all around and they are the reason for the complete ... piss inside the country.

      Let's face it, our soft power in the underbelly is not enough, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and all sorts of related foreign policy departments have shit themselves 100500% thinly, and you are talking about the Latin American issue. Pndos work proactively; we should learn from their successful actions.
