*Three main powers are considered as per their energy resources and military power.
There will be no more world wars, only
localized conflicts.
@KongoLandwalker Some pretty big countries have neither traditional religion nor human rights religion
@mariopasquato imo, this is the most likely scenario as well. A conflict between the US and China over Taiwan. However, there is a fair chance that this would remain a fairly regional war.
@Symmetry Make sense, but I was thinking at a global war scale. Regional wars can happen of course, but in a truly global conflict I guess NATO countries can't really stay neutral if US is involved...
NATO (more likely just the USA) vs China while Russia stays on the sidelines. Also Russia isn't a "main power" but a cosmic joke and divine punishment to humanity masquerading as a country.
@Symmetry If they manage to stay on the sides they would be the winners... I guess it's hard for the biggest, most central geographically and with most nuclear weapons to not take any side
@Quadrifold Why? If in a China-US confrontation Russia stays neutral while supplying China with resources, what would be the incentive for attacking Russia? Certainly China wouldn’t want to open a new front if it’s getting supplied, no?
@mariopasquato again, I consider the conflict to be involving the whole world, if it's a China-US conflict over Taiwan for instance, with Japan and Philippines involved but eg. no EU countries, the market won't solve as it's not a World War scenario, but local as it is with Ukraine right now
