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
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.
