Doomsday for United States and the West

 Doomsday for United States and the West: World War III and the Awful Scenario

 It is hard to understand why whole nations would choose to go to war and put at risk their way of life, the progress that their peoples have made and to place in jeopardy their very existence, exposing their native populations to millions of deaths. Perhaps the threat of even greater loss would provoke them to act in dangerous and volatile ways.

But, here are some awful thoughts... Machiavelli, Sun  Tzu, Halford Mackinder,  realist strategists, combined with Stalin, Genghiz Khan, Tamerlane, and Salahuddine al Ayubi, world conquerors. 

Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, who have opposed the US and the West at most turns the last century, come to the conclusion that they wish to expand so that their peoples will thrive  beyond their current borders. They feel as though their current borders limit them too much.

Russia offers North Korea twice its size of territory in Siberia for their support; China is promised Mongolia, Laos, Cambodia (with access to ocean lanes), Nepal, parts of Myanmar, Kyrgyzstan, eastern Kazakhstan, eastern Afghanistan.

Meanwhile Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Indonesia go with the new axis and are promised adjoining lands near them to include the rest of Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, parts of India, Myanmar, and Malaysia. Indonesia would be given Papua New Guinea and other Pacific Islands, potentially parts of Australia, depending on promising results.

Russia and Iran divide up the rest of their former empires, securing more ports and power through natural resources, to include Ukraine and eastern Europe for Russia, and the Saudi peninsula and Mecca for the Persians.

While actively invading and occupying all those lands, the Axis of Russia/China/North Korea/Iran/Pakistan/Bangladesh/Indonesia would send huge contingents of troops to north central Africa to engage and distract the western World from their real targeted conquests. They would mostly be land based, and would ally with local and regional jihadi and other extremists of Africa, and distract the US and NATO troops from the land captures and occupations every where else, expanding their borders as intended.

Latin America would be cowed into stand-offish neutrality.

And the world became a very changed, scarier place.

Democracy took severe blows.
