Once the US gets so desperate for oil they will break all exports of their oil monopoly in saudi arabia and other places and therefore relations will be destroyed as well , China will realize that without oil their society will collapse, they will declare war on the US and they both will nuke the hell out of each other.

Incorrect. At the crucial moment, the oligopolist conglomerates will enable the full application of alternate fuel sources and new technologies that have been in development for some time. These multinationals will have already diversified their holdings well before oil becomes a worthless commodity.
Conflicts will arise over far simpler commodities such as water (Middle East), and the basic metals and minerals required by China, India, and perhaps Brazil to industrialize.
The handful of businessmen and alternating bureaucrats controlling the world are not looking to see total obliteration, but rather money and power. The drive for oil will be eliminated at their choosing; the 'War on Terror' was not even for the average American consumer, it was so that American oil conglomerates could raise their prices and control Middle Eastern oil for their own purposes.
Indeed, oil from Iraq was appropriated by Western oil firms and then SOLD back to the US military for its 'Humm-Vees,' etc. Thus, the American taxpayer paid first to get the oil, then at the pumps for no reason, and then again in taxes.
It is merely a game. It never was about oil; it never will be about anything except the relentless pursuit of money and power.
