The current claim is that the people there pretty much unanimously voted that they want to remain British. Britain is in decline, but Argentina in terms of actual conditions and stability for those that live there is worse.

It's a settler state fighting a coloniser state on the basis that the settler state is the one who really deserves to own a rock far out in the ocean on the basis of a dubious historical claim against the wishes of the people who live there.
