US has many oil reserves but they don't want to spare it. In other words US wants to be the last country on the Earth with intact oil reserves. That is also one of the reasons why they are importing that much. And let's say during critical times they will simply reserve all the oil's production from Mexico and South America just for themselves, or will declare "war economy" just like during WWI or WWII.
US oil is not explored.
If an emergency hits it will take a year or more to start pumping oil.
First you need to build the infustructure.
P.S. Why should this thread be locked? Because Americans dont like it? lol
Out,

Well yeah, that would be a good reason. I wouldn't really appreciate any threads about destroying any country. Call me kooky...
...So yeah, I suppose I am somewhat baffled that this is allowed. I didn't think ATS was anti-American.

Are you advocating censorship on ATS? The post obviously a hypothetical scenario, and doesn't really talk about destroying the US, just beating it.. (or repossessing it?).

That's not a good thing, and it's not something I'd like to see personally, but given the attitudes still exhibited by some of of your countrymen earlier in this thread ("If we need oil we'll just take it.."!!!!), a bit of of slap with the reality stick isn't really a bad thing.
