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.

I don't think Argentina's military has progressed in any significant way since the Falklands War. Unfortunately for Argentina the British military has despite defence cutbacks, and certainly its air force and navy is two generations ahead of Argentina's. Despite being without a real carrier for the next five years the RAF and RN would absolutely slaughter them to put it midly, and would do the same to anything Cuba or Venezuela trew at them.
