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.”
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.
