We are. The oil situation is dire. But the food situation will fix itself when people decide to. We weren't called "The Granary of the east" for nothing.
Whenever aid was/is sent to Africa it doesn't go to the people it goes to the militias there. Much like whenever we give to a charity the money doesn't go to the actual cause it goes to administrative costs.
Our populace is unarmed. But we are very close to clobbering soldiers. Note that the oil shortage is a manufactured crisis. I've enough instances of nearby stations simply claiming they have no fuel left, only for people to look into the tanks and see that there's enough. They usually give this to their friends and people who pay top dollar.

So is Africa and yet they starve constantly...
Africans killed off their farmers and sold their equipment etc for scrap. They made this mess for themselves.

"Administrative costs" is just a fancy word for slush funds.
Armed soldiers at petrol stations doesn't seem like fear mongering to me.
