War will break out in East Asia

China is about to go to war with Japan, with Japan building an alliance to embargo China.

North Korea will come into play soon, with Russia opening a Korean front to pressure the US.

North Korea will soon become active and the US will open another front in the Asia-Pacific.

China will use North Korea as leverage: North Korea will threaten South Korea with artillery and launch missiles toward the Sea of Japan, forcing Japan to negotiate with China.

Xi's visit to North Korea is meant to push North Korea to be aggressive so China can act as peacemaker toward Japan; North Korea will create maximum chaos.

South Korea and Japan will go to war with each other.

China and Japan will go to war (kinetic conflict) over shipping lanes in the South China Sea.

North Korea will create tension on the Korean Peninsula, destabilizing Japan and the US while the US is distracted in the Middle East; the Russia-North Korea defense pact will make sense within a couple of years.

Japan will remilitarize rapidly and Japan and China will be set to balance and fight each other, with Europe vs Russia and Iran vs GCC/Israel as the US engineers permanent conflicts.

Putin will open a second front (e.g. via North Korea menacing South Korea) to throw the US off balance if America attacks Iran, creating war on three fronts: Ukraine, Korea, Iran.

The coming East Asian conflict will involve Japan and South Korea rather than being a US-China war over the Taiwan Strait.

North Korea will become much more belligerent toward South Korea and Japan, diverting US attention to East Asia.
