As the world rushes toward destruction from overpopulation, climate change and lunatic leaders we must ponder the probable line-up of combatants if WWIII indeed occurs.
Side A – natural criminals
Russia
China
North Korea
Iran
India – Although India is nominally with the West Modi’s lust for absolute power at any cost may see India transfer loyalty to Russia and China.
There are many smaller countries such as South Africa and other African states where corruption is rampant that are likely to align with Side A. Countries in the Pacific and Asia with a lot of corruption are also likely to join Side A.
Although Russia under Putin has a lot of nukes it is likely that, in time, China will completely dominate Russia and make it a vassal state.
Side B – somewhat better than Side A but still with a lot of faults
USA
UK
Western Europe (including France and Germany)
Canada
Japan
Australia
Taiwan
Israel – despite Israel being led by the corrupt and extremist Netanyahu and his extreme right wing coalition Israel will still have to line up behind the USA, its main backer.
Many countries in South America will probably remain neutral but it is difficult to say who they will support, if push comes to shove. It is safe to say that the more corruption a country has, and the less democratic it is, the more probable it will join up with Side A.
