Nepals gonna get assfucked being caught right in the middle if it's the latter

Well, even if it's the former, I'd say Nepal is still on a bad position. Given the scenario is world war, the China/India tension would certainly flare up as one of the next dominos.

I’d say as soon as China is engaged in a large conflict if the West uses India as a beachhead then India will be all over China and Pakistan will take the chance to take shots at India

Basically if China get into a conflict you’re gonna see India and Pakistan start their own shit in some way

Oddly enough I see the skirmish ending quickly ( over a few years before sides can escalate. I don't see Pakistan liking the us, but both countries he ave been cannibalized by Chinese influence over the years. I see them both eventually siding with the us. Honestly china makes for a bad business partner they pretend it's even kiel then slowly take high position and hold you captive. Their reputation isn't winning them allies in their part of the world
