India happily talks to and does business with everyone. (In Pakistan's case one might not say "happily"?) Over the last year, it has not taken part in the economic sanctions that USA and its vassals have attempted to impose. Both India and Russia have profited from this decision. We can expect India and similar nations throughout Asia, Africa, and Latin America to continue to pursue their own interests. Therefore, they will form part of our opponents' industrial base. They won't attack our forces until we attack theirs, but they won't be any more "aligned" with us than they are right now.
Since much of our own industrial base is in China, our military will prosper while the rest of us will lack most human comforts. Some portion of our military will be diverted from the battlefield to curtail the resulting unrest. We will lose, much more painfully than we lost in Korea or Syria or any of the intervening wars. Alaska, Hawaii, and all Pacific territories will be gone. We'll lose most of our foreign bases. The dollar will be worthless. American-owned intellectual property will disappear. Australia will be (re-)colonized. Germany will re-militarize, and Europe will remember why that's bad. (One might expect that also of Japan, but they are probably too geriatric now.) The portion of Ukraine that Russia doesn't take will be taken by Poland. Israel will abandon us in favor of the Saudi/UAE axis, but that group will decide to coexist with regional rivals rather than follow us down the drain. USA itself might split into several pieces, none of which would be capable of the sort of excessive militarism we've inflicted on the world for the last 120 years. So, not totally bad.
