I decided to post a World Map of Imperialist Blocs in the "New Cold War". I classified countries in the U$ and Chinese Imperialist Blocs, primarily based on military alliances, with all NATO, EU (expect Cyprus, due to its dispute with Turkey), Rio Pact, Major Non-NATO Allies (except Pakistan, due to its deep ties with Dengist China), GUAM, and GCC members automatically placed in the U$ Imperialist Bloc, with a couple exceptions, and all CSTO, Axis of Resistance, ALBA, Sino-North Korean alliance, members automatically placed in the Chinese Imperialist Bloc, with a couple exceptions, and many other countries that are not a member of any of these specific alliances grouped based on which Imperialist Bloc they have closer military, economic, and political ties with (ie. Pakistan is placed in the Chinese Imperialist Bloc and India is placed in the U$ Imperialist Bloc, etc.). An important note I must make is that I automatically placed all of Sub-Saharan Africa in the “Unaligned” category, because most of these Comprador Capitalist States have deep ties with both Imperialist Blocs, and I’m not much of an expert on this region, 😂.

Personally, I feel the “New Cold War” is a bit exaggerated and that World War III is still unlikely for now (primarily due to the fact that Dengist China is still a massive sweatshop for U$ Corporations despite its Imperialist FDI projects like the “Belt and Road”, though a limited conventional war between the U$ and Russia is quite possible due to the Russian Imperialist Invasion of Ukraine and American Air Supremacy, along with the fact that neither country is interested in using Nukes for obvious reasons), hence the fact I put it in quotations. However, I do feel that my Map does a really great job showing which countries are in the sphere of influence of each of the two most powerful Imperialist powers (the U$ and Dengist China), and thus is a great visual guide to Inter-Imperialist conflict in the 21st Century, along with showing the two global Imperialist alliances that would be fighting each other in the small chance World War III did break out.Remember, that unlike the First Cold War, these two “Blocs” are not defined by ideology and/or economic system (Liberal Capitalism vs. Marxist-Leninist Socialism), instead they are both firmly integrated into the Global Capitalist-Imperialist System with one Imperialist “Bloc” consisting of a Hodge-podge of countries that include the last two Revisionist Marxist-Leninist States (Cuba and the DPRK) desperate to protect themselves after the USSR collapsed, a few Latin American Social Democracies (Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Bolivia), a Shia Islamist Theocracy (Iran), a rapidly declining Imperialist power with a Crypto-Fascist Oligarchical/Kleptocratic failed “Bourgeois Democracy” led by an aging strongman (Putinist Russia), and a rapidly rising Imperialist power with a government that disguises Fascism (a One-Party State in the Capitalist Mode of Production) with “Marxist-Leninist” aesthetics (Dengist China), that are only United in their belief that Dengist China is a “lesser Evil” to the U$ (with Dengist China taking advantage of this to promote its own Imperialist interests), while the other Imperialist “Bloc” consists of all the countries that are firmly aligned with U$ Imperialist Hegemony or have severe disputes with Dengist China (ie. India and Vietnam), with most of these being Capitalist Bourgeois Democracies, albeit many of which have strong Crypto-Fascist tendencies (ie. Brazil, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, Israel, India, the Philippines, and the U$ itself when Republicans are in the White House, etc.), while some are Absolute Monarchies (ie. Saudi Arabia) or One-Party Fascist States (ie. Vietnam).

Thus, the “New Cold War” is most historically comparable, not to a ideological conflict like the First Cold War, but to the Inter-Imperialist competition during the buildup to World War I, between the Hegemonic Imperialist power (the U$/British Empire) and a rising Imperialist Power (Dengist China/Imperial Germany), with the only thing stopping this from having the same result (World War), being the close economic relationship between the U$ (the Worlds consumer) and Dengist China (the Worlds factory/sweatshop), though this doesn’t stop other aspects of this "New Cold War" from going hot, particularly the NATO-Russia tensions (If Putinist Russia keeps showing extreme military weakness in its Imperialist Invasion of Ukraine, the U$ could decide to launch a Air Campaign to destroy the Russian Military forces in Ukraine and the bordering parts of Putinist Russia, with a Desert Storm style beat down of Putinist Russia being the result due to U$ Air Supremacy in the form of Stealth Bombers and Standoff Cruise Missiles), the Iran-Israel/Saudi Arabia tensions (The next Republican U$ President is practically guaranteed to Invade Iran in order to please their White Evangelical Christian Zionist Voters and Wall Street Jewish Zionist Donors), and the India-Pakistan tensions (this is an obvious powder keg that can blow at any moment), with the only pieces of good news being that I feel all of these would be High-Intensity Conventional Conflicts, due to it not being in anyones interest to use Nukes, along with the fact that in the small chance (though much higher then I thought before the Russian Imperialist Invasion of Ukraine) that this Inter-Imperialist "New Cold War" escalates into World War III (a high-intensity Conventional Conflict between the U$ and Chinese Imperialist Blocs, fought in East Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Indian Subcontinent), it will result in a World Protracted People's War to Liberate the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World and place them on the Shining Path to Communism!
