Maybe in that third theater, we're gonna see more countries joining and then as in World War II, we're gonna have three regional conflicts that become a global war.

There's another important aspect of alliances, which is the level of integration, how united they really are.

And this is interesting.

When we look at the Axis powers of 1930s, Germany, Italy, and Japan, they were not allied.

Really, actually, they were on opposite sides.

When we look at the crisis in Austria in 1934 and in Ethiopia in 1935,

Italy was on one side and Germany was on the other.

When we look at who was helping China against Japan until late 1938, that was Germany.

And then comparing this today, we have a new axis being formed.

China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran today, they are all united.

Like who sends ammunition, weapons, and even soldiers to help Russia fight Ukraine?

North Korea.

Who gives food and energy to North Korea?

China.

Who buys Iran's sanctioned oil?

China.

Who buys Russia's gas?

China.

And China supplies Russia with electronic equipment to keep it warm.

As you can see, the axis of today, which I call the axis of dictatorships, they're really united much more than the axis of the 30s.
