The US State Department should be involved at a high level. When the Russians tell us ahead of time they are going to run military exercises in our economic zone, the answer should be NYET! if possible, and if not, then a clear warning that under no circumstances is any US economic endeavor to be interfered with. Then we tell them that it is likely that a US submarine and a destroyer may be on hand to enforce the dictate. It's not warmongering for those who might shrink from confrontation, it's simply not putting up with this BS. I have spent some time looking down the barrel of a loaded 5-inch gun at a pest of a Russian warship, and I know they respect only power.
