I once thought that this would be true, but wars are fought with oil burning machinery. And so countries with oil will always be able to play bully. A country with strong access to oil also has the most important resource in war. Batteries are simply less dense energy storage.

Wars are not always going to be fought with oil burning machinery. China, along with everyone else, is working real hard on that.
I think you would be surprised, but yes, there will be a lot of battery tech on the field.
