The Brits are desperate for oil sources. They may risk at a certain point.

But at the end of the day, the issue must be seen in terms of interest being served.

The Argentineans would not resort to an armed conflict but are asking for diplomatic discussion.

Blame it on Brazil that found all that oil and now the Brits are trying their luck.

If I'd be an Argentinean I would first let them find the oil. Big quantity? Yes? go there and take the thing.

The cost to the UK of fighting for oil in the Fauklands, should it come to that, is far more than buying it from the ME and Russians.
If there is a war, it will be to advance political interests, and not economic.
