The Argentine president applied to NATO to join, but at a cost

author:Song Zhongping

After Milley became the president of Argentina, there were a lot of new things, what does it mean?

Now Milley wants Argentina to become a member of NATO, and has already submitted an application to NATO, hoping to become the first NATO country in Latin America. You heard it right, when Argentina applied to join NATO, the NATO Deputy Secretary-General pointed out that NATO is taking a very positive view of Argentina's application to become a NATO partner.

Why does NATO want to include Argentina? Because Argentina has the will, and NATO can indeed consider absorbing a certain country as its member in Latin America, especially in South America.

So what needs to be emphasized here is that the Argentine defense minister pointed out that if it becomes a member of NATO, Argentina will reorganize its own army in accordance with the NATO system to make its army more combat-effective. But friends, Milley keeps saying that he wants to take back the Falklands, but if it officially becomes a member of NATO, Argentina will be forced to give up the Falklands. Because a country with territorial disputes with other countries cannot become a member of NATO, Milley must make a trade-off on this issue. You can be pro-Western, pro-American, but if you lose territory, Milley's position at home will be unstable.

On the other hand, we need to emphasize that joining NATO, Milley means being able to improve one's military capabilities to confront Britain and seize the Malvinas Islands. But this idea is naïve and implausible. If Milley disregards national sovereignty and completely abandons the Falklands, Milley's political position in the country will be unstable. Regardless of the success of any of his other reforms, if he insists on relinquishing his sovereignty, Millet will also be a betrayal in Argentina.

After all, sovereignty is above all else, and Argentina has never said that it wants to give up sovereignty over the Falklands, but joining NATO must make trade-offs, and Argentina must think twice.
