supply isn't a pure economic issue but is decided by politics.

Politics which hampers the normal workings of the market. That doesn't mean the market is a bad thing and that we shouldn't try to give it more freedom to work - like say by getting rid of our own political obstacles to the market working.

Which makes it a national security issue.

Are you going to argue we should make war to force resource rich countries to drill and produce more?

... even though the 'free market' is a complete illusion.

No its not an illusion. The illusion is government action can do better than a free market. We have almost a century of experience with countries trying to do that.
