Jimmy Carter has fuel shortages in the 70’s.
I’m old enough to remember.
There were fuel rationing in the U.S. during WW2.
Fuel shortages are nothing new.

I don’t get what relevance your blast from the past and WWII post has to our current strategic information from Russia but I and my step brother both had our Army gear packed during President Nixon’s world wide alert, he was actually on the tarmac, my gear was instructed to be by my front door ready to go instantly.

—The Arab oil embargo of 1973 “The spark of the embargo was the Yom Kippur War in October 1973, when a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel on the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. In that war, the Soviet Union resupplied its allies Egypt and Syria, and the United States responded with a massive airlift of supplies to aid Israel.”
