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
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.
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.
