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.”
Unfortunately Israel shitting all over the ICJ has delegitimized the court’s ability to weigh in on the matter, but they’re working it out through the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States. This is distinctly different from the situation in Ukraine because there wasn’t an equivalent organization that could handle disputes.
