Kind of what I was thinking.
A NATO v. Russia conflict is pretty easy to see. France would likely sit out.
China makes a grab for Taiwan while the US is busy in Europe leading to a general China/N Korea v. US/S Korea/Japan dustup in the east.
Spreads to the middle east with US backing Saudis and Russia Syria and Iran.
One or both go nuclear as one side is pushed to the edge.
A US v. Mexico struggle of one sort or another emerges.
The pieces required to leave the world in a situation close to T2k canon haven't been so (un)favorable for twenty years.
