New Theories / WW3 Inevitable

Disclaimer: If semi-gibberish, apocolyptic, unscientific rants offend you, don't read this. (unless you intend to comment on it)
I don't intend for readers to support or agree with my views, if you see anything subversive (other than everything), please point it out.
If you have questions or comments, I'll appreciate them.
Due to the steadily increasing violence surrounding resources (1), as populations grow, world war 3 will most likely start in the next few generations. (most likely 250~400yrs; (1) most recently oil, and historically land)
In the future, competition for oil to fuel a countries infrastructure, is a likely cause. (as example, China vs. USA or North Korea) I might be wrong though, it could always be any MPE event large or small. (MPER=Military/Political/Economic/Religious) I think >purely< religious causes are less likely, despite the obvious.
We're currently living in a golden age of science and economic prosperity. The last time something like this happened, it was dubbed a renaissance. The last one ended for different reasons, but if another world war occurred, it would most certainly end ours. The point is, after a golden age, there's a dark age. (history likes to repeat itself) I imagine a kind of "1984" on a smaller scale, with little or no privacy or rights, as the most likely long term post apocolyptic scenario.
I think the odds of WW3 wiping mankind off the face of the earth is slim, and if 99% of people die, 60 million people would still be alive.
Thanks to our understanding of genetics, it wouldn't surprise me the least if the US has already prepared (to some scale) for adapting to a post apocolyptic earth. We know cockroaches are much less susceptible to radiation. I've heard that so much, it's become a cliche. Such a strategy is the only one that makes sense. Fallout shelters only offer a temporary way to escape the worst effects of a total nuclear disaster.
My solution to the problem is invent as fast as possible. If people can create better ways to use old resources, or alternatives to them entirely, maybe there'll be enough time to at least establish people on other planets. But, that's a long shot, and multiple planets would just reduce the consequences of a world war. If I could make the world 1% better technologically, maybe the next dark age could be 100 times less severe.
The other thing to note, is a severe drop in the entire worlds population, without anyone being directly responsible, would delay a world war.
Regardless of that, if an apocolypse is the scenario, it'd always be certain people that survive. The leaders of MPER groups (in that order) are more likely to survive than any regular person. They'd also be the ones most responsible for the final nail in the coffin.

I was tempted to throw in a bunch of articles, or websites that support my reasoning, but it'd just put off people that don't want essays and/or this type of post.
Instead of references, for a laugh, search google for "imdb 1984" - apparently that movie (1984) was really exaggerated; the Muppets just took Manhattan that year.
"If I bet I was crazy; I'd probably win, with those odds"... I originally dreamt this up as an (imaginative) explanation for UFO/Alien sightings. But sadly, I left the best part out.
