I find the most interesting aspect of the proxy-WWIII that the same fabled Eurasian geopolitical union Karl Ernst Haushofer once sought begins to shape. Before the WWII, only Hitler's strategic iniquity prevented such a bloc (spanning from Berlin and Rome through Eastern Europe and Siberia towards Tokyo) from emergence. This time around, the NATO (i.e., the US and the UK) seems to have made a mistake that can cost it dearly. This is not how Old Wise One Kissinger's doctrine works.

Moreover, if China successfully enacts its program of refreshing and updating nuclear triad, after which total number of Chinese atomics will have probably pushed 800 or even 1,000, we'll witness totally new configuration of superpowers across the great chessboard, and inherently chaotic at that, as every three body problem becomes by design.
