OPEC does not control the price of oil any more than individual countries do and if you wish to find a scapegoat check out the activities on the
NYMEX...

Will the US side with China and Russia to form an alliance for the oil?

Russia and China have relatively officially been allied to undermine American hegemony for a few decades now and that's certainly what i believe we
have observed happening with the decline of the US and the rise of China and the reorganization in Russia.

Will our neutron bombs be the main weapons in saving the oil fields?

There are far too much oil and the wars of the last two or three decades have in many respects been to control the supply and ensure far higher prices
than would otherwise have become the norm. Even accounting for inflation a barrel of oil should still not be selling for more than 15 USD and anything
more than that is showing a good profit. The main 'weapons' of the next war will obviously be information/networking war with the physical
incarnations of that struggle being direct energy weapons and whatever nuclear weapons can be delivered without interdiction by such.

If we do go to war will we be rationed gas just like WWII? What will trigger the war $5.00 gas, $6.00?

Hot the wars are being triggered so that gas prices will have to go up; you have it backwards...
