Argentina Applies for NATO Global Partner Status (www.telesurenglish.net)

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."

Gradually surrounding Bolivia for its lithium and for having a socialist government

Glad a fascist like Bolsonaro isn't in power in Brazil right now. Wish I could say the same for Argentina...

Wouldn't be so quick to assume that if I were you.

The Biden Admin saved Lula (a socialist) from a coup by Bolsonaro

The Biden Admin has also pursued closer ties to the socialist government of Chile.

It seems that the Biden administration is perfectly okay with socialists, as long as they adhere to democracy.
