Commodity Carnage: Where to Turn Next?

Form OGEC, to constrain exports.

That will contribute to our existing trade imbalance by reducing what we sell, and strain diplomatic relationships with other nations.
(Poor countries may really need the export volume.)

Maybe you need an embargo to get what you want. Park some warships on the coast and block in-coming food shipments.
But, why stop there, why not just invade and take the oil ;-)

Pardon my sarcasm, but interfering with what we export would not help.
