Can the oil supply for one country really be disconnected from that of all countries? Because as other nations seek to develop, their own appetite for oil grows, ebven while the developed countries like Russia and the USA grow to use different resources to replace oil.
I don't think the 10-15 years outlook for Russia's supply is very much different from what we see in the USA, except that perhaps the USA has a more flexible technology of alternative fuels, like solar panels and such.
Yet Russia has also had a strong scientific base of research into these areas.
There may be intense change in 10-15 years, but not necesarily collapse, if people are able to activate more alternatives that free them from collective dependence on oil.
