the possibility that the human population could collapse as a result of the depletion of world oil supplies is not some new world idealism like say, the free market concept. Unless that is, you think Darwin's theory of natural selection is new age idealism.
Population boom and bust cycles are well recorded and observed events in nature, and the way human population has grown over the last century and a half, we fit into a such a classical pattern very, very, well.
While much of Russia's oil reserve have not been tapped as much as many other oil reserves around the globe, they do not have the capacity to meet the worlds still growing demand for oil. While we may not entirely run out of oil, world oil production has peaked, and is beginning its decline. Laugh at the 2012 thing all you want, we are entering a whole new period in this still new industrial age.
A few countries are making efforts to develop alternative energy sources. but the capacity is a long ways from meeting the worlds energy demands, and alternative energy sources will be more expensive.
The real problem involves factory farming and today's agriculture products that are so heavily dependent on petroleum based fertilizers.
Oh, and the U.S. remains the worlds largest food producer.

Russia, China, America France/England (EU)... you guys really think the nations that sat on top of the security council for all these decades argued amongst themselves this whole time never generating a plan for world dominance?

Wild card come up. No one anticipated what is happening in the Middle East, and there is no magical NWO on how to deal with Iran. They are playing it by ear, the way most of the world has run and likely will continue to.

Think about human nature, and then think again about what mmiichael said.
The PTB are different gtoups who are all at each others throats over world control.
It is a reality of human nature.
