Based on the search results, the following information was verified: 1. Argentina is indeed experiencing its worst economic crisis in decades, with high inflation rates and economic instability. Therefore, the first pair is correctly matched. 2. Sudan is currently in a state of civil war between its regular army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which began in April 2023. Thus, the second pair is also correctly matched. 3. There is no evidence that Turkey has rescinded its membership of NATO. Instead, Turkey has been involved in discussions regarding Sweden's NATO membership bid, but Turkey itself remains a member of NATO. Therefore, the third pair is incorrectly matched. Thus, only two pairs are correctly matched.
