I haven't seen any prediction of how European, African, Latin
American, or South Pacific countries would line up. Do you have a
prediction?
There are some obvious cases -- e.g., Britain will be allied with
the U.S. -- but I don't have nearly enough detailed about each
of the other countries to make an assessment.
In my posting a few days ago, I made note of the 19 countries that
supported China by not attending the Nobel Peace prize ceremony:
China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Colombia, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan,
Serbia, Iraq , Iran, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Venezuela, the Philippines,
Egypt, Sudan, Ukraine, Cuba and Morocco.
I really don't know how much to make of this list, but in some cases
it may be used in conjunction with other evidence to draw a
likely conclusion.
