The New Division of the Middle East

In a few years time two major powers, the USA and China, will be in possession of ASI, Artificial Super Intelligence. This means that for quite a number of years, Washington and Beijing will be the sole suppliers of ASI to all the other countries. On the one hand this will provide for tremendous leverage on countries not yet in possession of sovereign ASI, on the other this will mean tremendous competition between the USA and China. The world will be divided into US-aligned nations and China-aligned nations. In the Middle East there is already preparation for this new order. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Syria are planning to align with China while Morocco, Israel, the UAE, India (and the future government of Iran) will prefer alignment with the USA. Similar divisions between Beijing-aligned and Washington-aligned nations will appear all around the world. Middle Eastern governments know that it is only a matter of time until the Iranian regime falls and they are preparing accordingly.
