There was an episode of "Spooks" on a while back which is a TV show based around MI5 (UK internal intelligence agency), which concerned a dossier that outlined a plan for the US and UK to act out, when oil stocks ran dry, which basically surmounted to invading oil rich countries and claiming the oil there, which I think could happen. It's certainly plausible enough.
However, I agree with the Einstein quote, nukes will most likely wipe out most civilisation.
