What matters is that the Falkland islands are considered to be a part of UK's sovereign territory.

That's very much not what matters. If you wanted to travel to the UK and your plane took you to the Falkland Islands, you'd be very pissed off and say "you didn't take me to the UK!" If someone says "where is the UK?" the correct answer is not "the south Atlantic." There is the United Kingdom the nation and United Kingdom the place. An invasion means troops in the place.
You are being childish.
You're being obtuse. We all know what parent comment meant, what any reasonable person means when they use the term invade.
