Well, he is right about the scarcity of oil. Can't deny that if we attack Iran, the price of oil will go to $200 a barrel or more.

Nah, its easy. Here is how you do it. You announce that the world has had a free ride for 60 years, but the ride is now over. Henceforth, commodities transiting the high seas will be charged a small fee. Anyone not paying will be sunk. Then you go to each in turn and make offers. Long term contracts at $50 and free transit. Or charge whatever they like and try to get it past 50 SSNs.
