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.”

      They’d have to cross Chile too, though. Or I guess go around them Southern cape. Either way, kind of impractical!
