If countries are Peaking, isn't it rather safe to assume that, unless our demand for oil is drastically cut, that Peaking will continue at other countries around the world?

PS-I would equate it to the "Earth is a Sphere" theory. I don't think it is a "theory", but some people do, and claim that the earth is actually flat. They are wrong.
You are wrong too. Centrifugal force makes the distance from the center to the equator longer than the distance from the center to the poles. The earth is an oblate spheroid, and that is a fact.
