La OTAN abre sus puertas a Chile

[HernanSCL]

In a January 19, 2009 article for the Progressive Policy Institute called “Taking NATO Global” Marshall, in feigning a direct address to then soon-to-be-inaugurated president Barack Obama, told his intended interlocutor:

“You should seize the opportunity to lead NATO’s transformation from a North American-European pact into a global alliance of free nations. By opening its doors to Japan, Australia, India, Chile, and a handful of other stable democracies, NATO would augment both its human and financial resources. What is more, NATO would enhance its political legitimacy to operate on a global stage.” [25]

He added to the roster of global NATO candidates with the following:

"This alliance would be stronger still if expanded to include free nations in other, more volatile parts of the world. Likely candidates include Japan and South Korea, which have entrenched market democracy in East Asia; India, which is modernizing rapidly and dominates South Asia; Australia and New Zealand, liberal bastions in the South Pacific; and Chile and Brazil, which have stood against a rising tide of authoritarianism in South America. More controversially, some Italian leaders have even broached the idea of offering NATO membership to Israel." [26]

¿Tan pronto?, pensé que iba a leer esta noticia en unos 4 o 5 años más.

Sólo son especulaciones Hernán, aún le queda mucho a las FFAA para llegar al nivel OTAN.

Fijate que en el link que dejaste, en un punto aparece aquello que Chile pretende ser una potencia hegémonica militar en sud américa para proteger sus intereses económicos y expandirse, muy lejos de la realidad aquello.

And with more than sufficient justification, as the last three countries would have to be nervous about Chile acquiring or soon to acquire by late 2005:

200 state-of-the-art German Leopard 1 tanks.

60 French AMX-30 tanks.

60 American M-41 light tanks.

10 US F-16 multirole jet fighters.

18 used F-16s provided by the Netherlands.

Four Dutch and three British destroyers.

Two French Scorpion submarines.

The source from which the above information was obtained commented, “Foreign analysts have said that Chile is seeking hegemonic military power in Latin America vis-a-vis Peru, Argentina and Bolivia in order to defend Chilean economic interests in those countries and, in case of armed conflict, to expand its territory in the way it has done in the past.” [6]

¿Recuerdas la fuente de aquel rumor?

Yo ni siquiera tomaria en serio algo asi, basta con ver el listado de armas que ha comprado eb los ultimos años, segun ellos, para darse cuenta la calidad periodistica de esta nota.....

Los Leopard 1 llegaron en 1998, los AMX-30 finales de los 70 principios de los 80, los M-41 estan de antes de 1973 y a Holanda y UK se compraron fragatas no destructores....

Basicamente pura ******...

Disculpen que me autocite, pero lo que mencione es que independiente del análisis del autor, lo importante son las citas que ocupó con respecto a los candidatos a ser nuevos miembros de la OTAN.
