Mohoender,
This is a good point. I do think there would need to be a strategic reason for garrisoning the Malvinas/Falklands. If it's out of the way then there's less of a rationale, and of course South America is not going to be a source of supply like it was in WWII.
If some manufactured goods are coming from Australia (largely untouched in the Twilight War), then perhaps convoys to Europe would travel by way of South America? This would be to avoid the hot war zones off Indonesia and the Middle East. In that case, there would be a point to maintain the Falklands garrison.
