The sequencing can't be predicted. In one scenario, the war starts
between India and Pakistan -- Saudi Arabia and China enter on the side
of Pakistan, while Russia and the US enter on the side of India. In
another scenario, the war starts in the South China Sea, the US is at
war with China, but other countries stay out of it as long as they can
-- which won't be more than a few weeks.

Russia is India's ally, not America. Why would America bother to defend India? America (Nixon) stopped India from annexing Pakistan in the early 1970s. Why change now? India is still friends with Russia.

Mr. Xenakis,

Your prediction that Turkey is moving away from the West and becoming more Islamist is so obviously true that others are beginning to pick up on it now. Here is a good article from one of my favorite websites about Turkey's transformation from democracy to Islamist dictatorship under Erdogan:

I'll smoke a cig with you while we stand in front of the wall before we are shot; if the people shooting us even bother to go through with the execution ritual.
