Part 4/7:
The Axis of Disorder: Opposing Forces
On the opposite front, a coalition known here as the Axis of Disorder (AOD) could emerge, comprising nations that oppose Western hegemony:
Russia: Having been in open conflict with NATO and citing the expansion of the alliance as a justification for its actions, Russia remains a key player.
China: With increasing ties to Russia and expansionist ambitions in the South China Sea and Taiwan, China would likely support the AOD.
Iran and North Korea: Both countries have demonstrated nuclear capabilities and have aligned militarily with Russia, increasing their significance in the Axis.
