Neither India nor China have shown a desire for global aspirations the way certain Western powers have. Unless that changes, then I can see a return to isolationalism. I hope so anyway.
Agreed, the problem is China is in worse shape than the US when it comes to dependency on oil. At the moment they havent been doing any of the heavy lifting, also they dont care about the political situations in the countries (via dictator etc) so long as the oil flows.

I also hope the US turns to a more of an isolationist policy. Let the ME/Africa/SE Asia fend for themselves and pull all Armed forces out of Europe - they are not needed anymore.
