Not that the US could get away with even thinking about doing that given it's a dispute strictly between the UK and Argentina. I can't imagine the Queen and HM Government looking very fondly over the US throwing their weight about where it's definately not wanted.

The UK, despite the last few decades of cutbacks, still has the strength to deter the Argentine military, otherwise the Argentinians would have already acted.
