Russia would stay neutral, China would not.
Russia would be forced into the war (reserve) for China, or would break ties with china which would lead to an economic crash, worldwide, if you think wallstreet was big, you have no idea.
Europe would remain neutral until the first signs of war, i assume the euros would preach peace, and come to the aid of the Russia or Northern United states which would effectivly defect from the united states - from washington, to idk california possibly vegas combine with some country say mexico and form a peoples republic.
Cuba would reveal that they do indeed have nucular missiles, then russia, and then China because we all do.
lets just not. the world is so close to the edge, but when we arnt on it we can dance, so lets dance instead of fighting
What are you basing your speculation on? China wouldn't do shit. As I've said they're already started backing away from North Korea (i.e. imposing trade restrictions) -
One example.
The international pressure to back off in the support of NK has really gotten to them. Think about it from China's perspective. Do you think they're willing to risk nuclear Armageddon for the sake of Kim Jong Un? They absolutely wouldn't, they're not crazy, they're realists.
I mean, your horror story sounds fun, but it's just a story.
The real issue is getting any sort of forceful humanitarian action through the UNSC. That's where China might conceivably veto it. With proper assurances (like a promise to help with the resulting refugees) and negotiation however, I think it's plausible R2P action could be passed in motion.
