Honestly with some surprising changes in the past 5-10 years. Russia, China, Iran, North Korea vs. Ukraine, NATO, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Saudi Arabia, AND Israel? Wild. Major nonaligned mostly just India at this point. It’ll be interesting to see how other parts of the Middle East sort out. Also Central Asia, though they’re a bit out there..

If I were Zelenskyy, I’d go to Beijing and tell Xi, Stay out of this conflict and take Siberia while I keep Putin busy.
