Great insight, Intelgurl.
This is about a ravenous need for fuel, bottom line. The U.S., Russia, China, Japan, Indonesia.. Every one of these countries share the same problem. Whoever controls the remaining reserves will be on top. Everyone else is gonna suffer bigtime. It'll be a race to take what's left before all hell breaks loose.

And its that technological advantage that trumps all... at the time of the first Gulf War Iraq had the worlds third largest army... but the technology was behind and the training in thier units was poor.
When CHina' tech catches up (which it will) then they will be a MUCH larger threat to the US, obviously. But if numbers is the prime advantage of an army, they would not farewell in a war with the US today.
