What for do they (Argentinians) need fighter jets? They have no money, their conflict with Chile (about a few islands in the south) was finally settled in 90's, strange. I was travelling to Brazil and Argentina some 3-4 years ago (tourism), and it was funny to hear smth like "yes, we are doing not well economically, but now we have Messi and it is so good for the nation". Since that they got the Pope as well :-)
