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.”
its more like alliances in the americas is a giant venn diagram of sub alliances. its not really a black and white picture on country alliance. there are sub allliances that may only include 4 countries, then a few of those countries may have a seperate alliamce with 6 othera and such.
for example, most countries in the Americas are defended by monroe doctrine in the case of outside of americas colonization. some of these alliamces are basically conditional alliances fighting a specific cause.
