No, because Argentina doesn't have anything like the military capability that it had in the early 80s and because the islands are now armed to the teeth, unlike 1982 (the dwindling military presence there being one of the reasons Galtieri thought invasion was a good idea ... he didn't think we had the will for a fight).
