The Hong Kongers were given assurance to have “one country, two system” deal to assuage their concerns before the handover to China (of course that doesn’t exactly goes according to plan because CCP being CCP, but that’s another different topic). If Falklands were to be given something similar, then that might assuage the Falklanders. However, it’s unlikely since they unilaterally elected to remain with UK. How is Argentina going to deal with English-speaking Falklanders, whose traditions and customs still identify with the British? Argentines love to chest-thump about “taking back” Falklands but never think about what will happen next. As you said, it is exactly human failings. Argentina could not even get their things together and now they want to bring their own mess to somewhere else.
