As most of you are aware we WILL run out of oil within our lifetimes . This will put the two major countries in the Middle East , Saudi Arabia and Iran at an impasse . There currently is an ongoing "mini" cold war between these 2 for influence over the region and currently Saudi Arabia is ahead mostly ( i would say exclusively ) due to its oil reserve and funding of Wahabism and other extremist muslim sects . The upcoming oil crisis will almost certainly collapse the two governments and here i ask you , what would the world look like then ? will this be a catalyst for diminishing global tension or would it just exacerbate our current problems ? My opinion is that a US backed Israel will expand its influence and power over the whole peninsula and it will crack down hard on any and all military disputes (as in Palestine might not exist anymore)
