From a realist perspective, Argentina would never attack/invade the Falklands. They realise that the UK defense budget is approximately 18 times their own, and so would not want their arses handed to them again ;)

There is no reason why Argentina would even have support of other nations in South America anyway. They introduced 11 percent import tariffs, which really annoyed their local trading partners too.

Either way, the only reason this is becoming an issue is because Argentina makes it so. With inflation running in double digits and rubbish wage increases, this is becoming just like the 80's and the Argentinian junta- focus on supposed inequalities with Britain, trying to ignore the rubbish way the country is being handled. It all ended quite well if memory serves me well. Oh wait.
