My Comment: Such a hypothetical "invasion" is not going to happen. Because Argentina's military has received little budgetary support from the government over the years .... it is now one of Latin Amerca's smallest (and weakest) armed forces.

Argentina's best hope is to put international pressure on Britain .... but this would have to be a very long term strategy, especially since most countries are not going to be willing to sacrifice their interests with Britain to satisfy Argentina`s claims on the Falklands/Malvinas.
