UK will implode as they are looted by America and Labour are basically more moderate Tories who will continue their disastrous policies
EU will barely survive; but will enter into their version of the lost decade as America loots them as well; fascists are elected all over Europe but fail to actually reverse the decline because most of them are pro-NATO/neoliberalism anyway
America will increasingly sustain itself by looting the rest of the imperial core but will still have a major rise of fascism. Trump will most likely be reelected and make things worse
India has a 50/50 change of doing well assuming they go economic nationalist and avoid joining the west in their anti-China Cold War
Japan and South Korea will continue to decline as they have been for decades
China will probably do well, but they have to manage COVID to avoid millions of deaths
Russia survives sanctions; but it all depends on how left wing Putin's successor will be; as far as the war, I'm a pessimist so I think Russia will only be able reclaim the Donbass and Ukraine will eventually be forced into a treaty after they and their NATO backers realize that there are no more 12 year olds in the country because they have all been mowed down on the front lines and the 8 year olds don't make effective cannon fodder
South America and Africa will drift from America and Europe but will still experience many coups/interventions; Argentina is currently having a right wing coup
India will not join the west in a new cold war. Since it seems to be continuing it's non aligned policy
And I think being between Russia and the US is good for India to prevent hostilities with China. Like if they were completely on the side of the US it would increase tensions
Many affluent families in India will have relatives who live abroad, probably in English speaking countries. Soon I'll have no siblings or first cousins living in India. And that probably does have some effect in things but like it's not going to get India to spend 10 times more buying military hardware from the US instead of Russia
An overwhelming number of Indians living abroad work in tech. But in India they are just a slice of the urban population, and the urban population is just 35% of the country.

I wonder if that will last considering how many young and affluent Indian tech workers are very, very big fans of :my-hero:
