The map of the colonial dispossession of Argentina's common goods has added its definitive document, which explains the official urgency to raffle off the CNEA reactors, hand over the patrolling of the South Atlantic to the Southern Command and release the sale of rare earth and water resources in Patagonia.

The Argentine foreign minister announced that the country will formally join the PAX SILICA Initiative , an international coalition designed by the United States to exclusively secure the strategic inputs demanded by Artificial Intelligence, semiconductors and global super data centers.

The agreement, which will be finalized in Washington by Ambassador Alejandro Oxenford , consolidates the automatic alignment of the Casa Rosada with the US administration of Donald Trump , transforming the nation's natural resources into the spoils of a new technological cold war.

Competitive advantage and "early warning" for US corporations

Behind the official rhetoric of "attracting investment," the terms of the memorandum of understanding signed between the two countries reveal a scandalous surrender of economic sovereignty. According to the agreement documents, Argentina commits to notifying US authorities and companies in advance about potential tenders and projects for the exploitation of critical minerals (such as lithium and copper) and energy resources.

This "early warning" clause effectively grants North American firms an absolute competitive advantage over any other international player, explicitly aimed at blocking the presence of competitors like China. Although the agreement is presented as a "non-binding" roadmap, in practice it functions as an exclusivity treaty where the Argentine state relinquishes the opportunity to diversify its export markets in exchange for acting as a docile and peripheral supplier.

The reason for the looting: Washington's desperation

Argentina's inclusion in PAX SILICA —a parallel forum that US Under Secretary of State Jacob Helberg described as "more agile than other multilateral organizations" for accelerating innovation—responds to an urgent geopolitical need in Washington. Faced with global difficulties in gaining immediate and secure access to rare earth elements from Ukraine, Canada, or Greenland, the US military-industrial complex has set its sights on the Southern Cone.

Argentina, a country politically subjugated by its financial debt and with a government willing to dismantle its own state capabilities, appears as the perfect breeding ground.

Artificial intelligence devours monumental volumes of energy, minerals, and freshwater sources to cool its servers; precisely the three assets that the Milei administration is trying to deregulate in Congress through the "Inviolability of Private Property" law and the destruction of the Fire Law to enable the subdivision of protected areas.

The delivery puzzle is complete

This sequence of recent events demonstrates that there are no isolated measures:

1.    At the CNEA: A file is opened for North American companies to audit the reactor plans and the 38,000 tons of uranium available in the Argentine subsoil.

2.    At Sea: Southern Command takes control of patrolling the South Atlantic until 2030 under the guise of protecting "global commons".

3.    On Earth: Pressure is being exerted in the Senate to eliminate limits on foreign ownership of borders, allowing enclaves such as those of the United Arab Emirates in Río Negro (Cerro Carreras) or the Chilean fraud in Santa Cruz (Cielos Patagónicos SA).

4.    In Technology: We are joining PAX SILICA to give the White House priority information and operational details about our mining operations.

A future in colonial terms

The doctrine of "carnal relations" in its twenty-first-century version no longer merely surrenders military bases; it surrenders the country's subsoil, technology, and scientific future. By signing the agreement to join PAX Silica , Javier Milei 's government reduces decades of nuclear development, maritime sovereignty, and local mining capabilities to a mere production line subordinated to the national security interests of the United States.

It is clear that the supposed "prosperity" announced by the Foreign Ministry is nothing more than the modern guise of an old acquaintance: the colonial status of nations that surrender their geography in exchange for the validation of the empire of the day.
