Alaska summit reflects the superpower carve-up foretold in ‘1984.’ - plus ça change

George Orwell’s 1984, written in 1948, tells of a world divided into three great powers. 

They are: Oceania (The US, plus South America, the UK, Australia and southern Africa).

Eurasia (All of the old Soviet Union, including Russia, and continental Europe in its entirety).

East Asia (Essentially China, Japan, and the Korean peninsula).

They fight interminably over the contested, poorer parts of the world: the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, and the rest of Africa. 

Though alliances shift, they remain in permanent balance
