Colombia to be NATO's first Latin American global partner

Globalists trying hard to push their agenda and now they're going for South America.

BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombia will next week formally join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, making it the only Latin American nation in the alliance, President Juan Manuel Santos said late on Friday.

Colombia will join as a “global partner”, Santos said, which means it will not necessarily have to take part in military action, and will be fully accredited in Brussels.

Repercussion of this by South America countries are not good.

NATO's "global partners" maintain cooperation in areas of "mutual interest", particularly on security issues, and can actively contribute to joint actions, including military action, according to the organization.

Afghanistan, Australia, Iraq, Japan, South Korea, Mongolia, New Zealand and Pakistan are NATO's "global partners" to join Colombia.

Venezuela said this action threatens the peace in Latin America and the Caribbean, which always kept distance from the warlike policies and actions of NATO and any other military or military organization that seeks to appeal to the use of force and suffering of people to impose and guarantee hegemony of a particular political and economic mode.

Countries are worried that this will allow foreign governments to intervene in Latin America policies.

The 29-nation NATO alliance reached a partnership agreement with Colombia back in May 2017, just after peace was signed with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, an agreement that earned Santos a Nobel Peace Prize.

Mhmmm, right. *Gets a Nobel Peace Prize then joins the worst and most dangerous military organization in the world.*

The reason I'm posting this in the conspiracy forum, is that in recent years countries from Europe and the U.S. are getting more interested in the Latin America. In November last year, there was an unprecedented military exercise in the Amazon forest, in Brazil. Members of Peru, Colombia, the United States and representatives from 23 nations acting as observers.

The purpose of the exercise is to create guidelines for disaster relief in the triple Amazon border region. Simulations on how to assist victims of forest fires, earthquakes, droughts, floods, and ship accidents will be performed.

Soldiers will also practice on how to deal with large contingents of human migrations, as in the case of refugees.

Any thoughts, ATS?

What is the NATO ultimate goal?

Of course Maduro doesn't like it. I bet Colombia will have the support of some other countries in South America too.

a reply to: Trueman

Yup, Maduro is worried because this may allow foreign counties to intervene in Venezuela soon. And so far none of the South America countries supported this. Equator and Brazil already expressed their opinion that this is an threat to our peace and I agree with them.

Keep this military organizations away from us.

Mongolia is a NATO global partner? Sandwiched between Russia and China?

Refuse the Ukraine entry and yet take Columbia?

Apparently, any organization eventually is subverted from it's original goals and purposes.

Sigh.

a reply to: nwtrucker

Ukraine was denied entry as an actual NATO member. They were however part of NATO's Partnership for Peace program which is a more formal partnership than what Colombia is a part of. Partnership for Peace countries get to take part in the EAPC along with all NATO members.

"Global partners" are pretty much any country that sees their goals aligning with NATO and are willing to do business. It's nothing more than that and they are not tied in to any of the NATO articles.

Thanks for the clarification.

"global partners aligning with NATO's goals". So what are NATO's goals, then?

a reply to: vinifalou

NATO must have a broader vision than I thought, taking partners worldwide. It seems like a first step to somewhere. Are they just doing their bit to further globalism or maybe trying to replace the UN as the globalist army?

a reply to: Xcalibur254

Obviously it's just speculation, but this is the first step for Colombia to become a major partner and get a role in military actions. Colombia is the most militarized country in this area, it's not a coincidence.

The rise of the latin powers in imminent, might as well start working with these nations.

In case you haven't looked around, South America isn't all rosey.

It would make sense for Maduro to resist, it would mean a NATO intervention, considering the presence.

Good thing Trump campaigned on cutting NATO down to size... too bad he's since flip flopped and turned Neocon about all that.

Oh, yeah... Latin America and Columbia in particular have really " kept distance from the warlike policies and actions of NATO and any other military or military organization that seeks to appeal to the use of force and suffering of people to impose and guarantee hegemony of a particular political and economic mode."

This is just silly. But it IS Venezuela so maybe understandable. Europe is sooo much more strife- and conflict-ridden than Latin and South America.

Partners across the globe

In addition to its formal partnerships, NATO cooperates with a range of countries which are not part of these structures. Often referred to as "Partners across the globe", these countries develop cooperation with NATO in areas of mutual interest, including emerging security challenges, and some contribute actively to NATO operations either militarily or in some other way.

Global Hegemony.

a reply to: vinifalou

Gotta keep control of that coc aine supply.

a reply to: Xcalibur254

Hmm, interesting number of these partners are also members of the SCO.

Probably the coc aine...
