I'll bet zero hot wars between the named major powers emerge before 2030. At least not directly. The most I'd be willing to allow is some sort of proxy conflict

I'll bet zero hot wars between the named major powers emerge before 2030. At least not directly. The most I'd be willing to allow is some sort of proxy conflict. As for cold/warm wars between the named major powers... they're already ongoing. Network/information/trade war is well underway and will not let up for some time.
