    I’d rather not and I’m a European from a NATO country. Why tf would we want to expand to south America? We’ve got other fish to fry here.

      NATO global partner, not member. Like Australia, Colombia, Iraq, Japan, Mongolia, New Zealand, Pakistan, and South Korea. Also Argentina is already a major Non-NATO ally. That’s a US designation but it’s not like the rest of us would have bad relationships with them… wait Myanmar is on there WTF are the Yanks thinking.

      Because it’s a defensive pact and having more members makes it a stronger deterrence force.

      Can you elucidate any downsides?

      Because it strongly advances NATO’s interests to build international alliances, especially at the cost of russia and china.
