The People of the Falklands wont accept argentine governance ever.

The argentines know this now. there is no prestige gain or profit in the
this media age in forcibly subjugating and incarcerating an unwilling people.
they would have to literally occupy by force under the eyes of the world.
not gaining any prestige and although it might distract internal dissent on
invasion day it would only provide more ammunition to the dissenter's in
every subsequent hour.

They were clearly made fun of after the last war in
"An Ungentlemanly act" for not having even the barest
clue what they were going to find, they expected suppressed
spaniards and discovered they were oppressing hostile anglos
and occupying there farms.

there is no real resource gain in Argentinian occupation, and the strategic
location that Britain and the RN hold dear about the islands is a
strategic location that argentina is already located in.

The only real purpose of an occupation ( or just threatening one )
is to divert attention away from massively failed internal policy, staving
off the non confidence of the people for another month.

admittedly there is prestige to be gained in facing down the UK
victoriously but that wont happen Neal is right, and I am in agreement
with Tom Clancy on the weight we should give to a perisher graduate
on the battlefield.

finally the whole thing can be stopped cold by bringing the
falklands into the main of the UK instead of as a colony basically
making it a direct Province, then there is no question of Resolve
as invading the UK is generally a bad Idea, several people better
at it than the argentine's have tried.
