Ordering the Seizure of foreign oil companies on the Falkland Islands does not seem like a productive move but yet an attempt at a cry for nationalism. The Falkland Islands are  British territory which Britain was willing to go to war to keep (when they pushed out the invading Argentine forces from the Falkland Islands in the 1980's. This seizure could not even really be implemented. The foreign companies would never just hand over their assets and if The Argentinians attempt to invade the Falklands and seize them by  force they would not only have to deal with England, But also France and the USA who own some of the targeted oil firms on the Falkland Islands. The only way these firms could have any assets seized is if the people of the Falklands decide to join Argentina Which is very unlikely because the last vote was a landslide win for staying part of England's territories.
