I’m not going to comment on the plausibility of the scenarios, but I will observe that geopolitically this plays out just like the climate crisis: There’s a global resource that needs to be managed. Some countries have a bigger slice than others. There’s an unhealthy dynamic where the ones with the smaller slice want a bigger slice, but not only do those with a bigger slice not want to give anything up, they point to the ones with the smaller slice growing their share and use it to justify continuing to expand. Not helped by the fact that many of the parties involved would rather wage war on another if we didn’t all have nukes.
