Analysis of 2023 Global Survival Rank

Looking at the tables of Global Survival Rank shows a complicated picture in terms of which coalition has more likelihood to survive WWIII. USA coalition has advantages in terms of Military expenditure and Technology Level, still, the share of countries with low survival ranks among the USA Coalition is relatively high. In other words, USA Coalition/NATO has too many countries with low survival rank compared to strong countries with high survival rank. However, the Russia-China Coalition has clear advantages in terms of area size, military size, energy and even food security. On the one hand, Russia-China Coalition includes many small countries with a very low survival rank, but on the other, Russia-China Coalition has more significant countries with high survival rank among the Top 20 countries with the highest survival rank.

Many see NATO as the promised ‘Joker card’ for survival in WWIII, but this analysis raises big challenges for NATO to win a war against the Russia-China Coalition or even to survive a long war. Time for reflection for those who push for global confrontation.
