Not so sure. Foreign wars are often used as a distraction by failing dictators. The UK is not the military power it was in 1982, either.

The U.K. military has shrunk in size, but increased significantly in technology. The Argentine military has shrunk in technology and size.

A single Astute class sub can rain Tomahawks on Argentine targets while sinking (what’s left of) the Argentine navy at leisure.
