The US fleet needs to conduct some exercises too.

If we had a real president, not just a child emperor, we wouldn't conduct exercises, but take action. Not military action mind you, but action towards opening up Alaska, Ohio, North Dakota and Canada for oil and natural gas production. Remove the dependence on Iranian oil and call their bluff. If we can live longer without Iranian oil then they can without western money we win without having to fire a shot.

All Congress has to do is pass tax incentives for individuals to either buy or convert their current vehicle to multifuel capability meaning the ability to run on either natural gas or gasoline and provide incentives for business to add a natural gas compressor to their current location.

We have so much natural gas right now and with the gargantuan quantities coming on stream that the market would do the rest. US demand for gasoline would continue to drop for many years. Eventually our need for imported oil would drop enough to depress the world price of oil to the point countries like Iran would be out begging with their tin cups.

The solution is as simple as that. In one stroke, the Mideast and it’s oil would be headed down the road to irrelevancy.
