In 30 years when we are still sitting on our oil and the rest of the world is bone dry, we'll be laughing at them.

Where are those reserves? If we had them, oil companies would be drilling for thme right now with $100/barrel oil.
Iran has been entirely rational in its geo-strategic actions over the last 30 years, but that's another debate.
Russia will not unilaterally bomb Syria. The situation in Libya is distinguishable, as the US first gained international and Arab consent, and got the action NATO approved, and, well, it's the US. Russia is not trifling, but they don't have that kind of juice. They won't spend so much political capital for Syria.
They sent a warship, and it's not just for the hell of it. But it won't fire a round. It's the ultimate token show of disapproval, physically expressing that Russia wants a say in whatever happens in Syria. And they'll get it. But no one is going to fight over it.
