Btw. if it should come to a showdown my bets are on US+NATO+ASEAN+Japan+South Korea+Israel vs Russia+China+Iran+North Korea
ASEAN, Japan, South Korea and China are likely to remain neutral in case of the WW3. China want to grow at the expense of both the Russians and the Americans. If the Americans destroy the Russians, it will indirectly benefit the Chinese. They will have millions of sq.kms of mineral and resource rich Siberian land for themselves.
