Well,
I am Brazilian and if Argentina is not a third world nation, then Brazil ,
one of the top ten economies of the world is a first world country lol!
Brazil and Argentina are third world countries for sure and we have no conditions to fight a war against any first world nation.
The Argentinian air force is weaker now than in 1982, almost a joke.
Just one British submarine with the "right" weapons on board would finish the debate.
The Argentinians are not stupids and as a Brazilian I always envy the courageous protests them make against unpopular measures coming from their government .
Perhaps Cristina should start to provoke Chile ... wait ! Chile has a strong and well armed air force... how about Paraguay?
