Many thanks for putting this down. It was an exhilarating read.

There doesn't seem to be a mention of  nuclear war, unless I missed it.

I think theocratic regimes with (soon to have/present) access to nuclear capabilities are serious candidates for trigger-happy reactions. 
North Korea, and Iran.
It would be their last chance to stop the widening spread in capabilities between them and the bipolar US/China-led world. 
They have nothing to lose.

Do you think they don't pose a serious threat, or do you think they won't do it?

Thanks
