K-Dog's argument seems more convincing. If there are severe conflicts at home, it is hard to imagine large scale warfare being possible. What seems more likely is you get civil wars sparking across the globe and various countries splitting into smaller states as power becomes increasingly decentralised.
Rather than the US going to war in some Middle East excursion I could envision a scenario were Texas, California etc. secede from the US forming their own countries. Rather than share the wealth, the individual states decide to keep it to themselves to feed their own constituents. Poorer states or ones lacking in resources would form alliances with the more affluent regional powers. That is a more plausible "Mad Max" scenario than the large scale World War 3 type dynamics.
