You haven't answered the question.

I'm not Tom Clancy or a professional politician. I don't have an

In other words you agree that a nuke in Riyadh equals gas
rationing.

No.

Since we seemed to have elected Tom Clancy arbiter of such
things, then we could nuke Riyadh and not impact on the oil fields
to
any great extent. They are far enough away, according to TC's
scenarios.

Actually, they probably are--the area affected by a single nuclear
detonation is generally greatly exaggerated. But it isn't damage to
the oil fields that would be the problem, it would be the political
results within Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.
