Maybe they're desperate to make some sort of statement the time remaining before the new carrier Queen Elizabeth is operational?

Sees like sabre-rattling and nothing more - the Argentinians have nothing to gain from any use of force. It would isolate them even more internationally and financially and if they were successful at invading and occupying the islands they wouldn't gain access to any (potential) off-shore oil in anything like the short to mid-term.
