The status quo has powerful inertia. Argentina has not formally revoked its 2010 recognition, and formal revocations are extremely rare in diplomatic practice. Even when governments undergo dramatic ideological shifts, they typically allow prior recognitions to exist in a kind of limbo instead of formal withdrawal. Milei's government has already achieved its signaling goals through UN votes, rhetoric, and the planned Jerusalem embassy move; a formal revocation adds little value while adding diplomatic friction.

The remaining five non-recognizers have been explicit and consistent: Germany and the U.S. cite the need for negotiated solutions, Japan explicitly bypassed recognition in September 2025, and Italy has specific unmet conditions. There’s no foreseeable catalyst visible that would move any of these governments within the tight timeline.

It is extremely unlikely that any national government will genuinely achieve AGI. Might a country like North Korea declare it with no real evidence?

Absolutely.
