These monsters really plan to further destabilize the region.

    Smart. Argentina is very vulnerable to a Russian invasion if Russia ever decides to drill a tunnel straight through the earth’s core and out the other side.

    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.

          Compradores, while being wealthy and supposedly educated, really do act as beggars. Their solutions are always bootlick the americans, ask for money and never about working.

      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.

      “Officially” any nation can leave NATO for any reason. Though I think we’d find out NATO isn’t quite so willing to let nations go if one actually tried to leave.

        “O” in NATO’s name also stands for Omerta, it’s not that easy to quit.

        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.

          I’m sure the US will be happy to sweep that criteria under the rug, and the rest of NATO (maybe minus Hungary/Turkey, but they’ll fold) will wag their tails for their master.

          Hopefully this will be just another step towards the dissolution and collapse of NATO though, IMO it certainly won’t help.
