I don't think the Argentine economy at present could fund or even equip a military intervention nor do I believe the UK have the means to reinforce the islands at short notice. They do however have sufficient means on the islands to hold out till assets are brought to bear.
Most importantly, neither side wants to turn to armed aggression so the only way forward is a diplomatic one but that won't be easy when you consider the wishes of the islands inhabitants.
The article in the OP IMHO was nothing short of an attempt at sensational scaremongering.
