You got the wrong guy.
The only valley girls that I am aware of were the ones I saw on those Hollywood movies, and I think those valley girls were from the valley around Los Angeles.
LOL.
Including the Middle east will become a hot WWIII because they will go at it. Example If something were to ignite in the Holy land areas in KSA the Sunni world will go absolutely bunkers it doesn't matter who attacks but it will turn quickly into all-out type of conflict it will turn into berserker.. Technically speaking The Sunni states could form into a formidble coalition which they haven't explored yet due to political reasons because if such an alliance was to be formed militarily everyone will panic which is unnecessary attention from these countries POV they don't want that.. Also one of the reasons why many don't have good picture of NATO is because it is viewed as an alliance of aggression. Because why create such an alliance of 30 nations if you weren't gonna use it hence why the muslim states would only form into such a dynamic allaince for existential reasons if pushed to a corner and given no choice..
GDP of this potential alliance almost 30-trillion which is almost as much as current NATO. Active forces 10-million with a possible endless pool of reservers and recruit options. 50.000+ air crafts... Endless amount of drones, tanks, electronic warfare, navy, including nukes etc etc.. Spread to 5 continents so that they can fight anywhere around the globe..
I will provide measures for you and size doesn't factor in who is heavily armed or not. These with 5 stars (*****) Means heavily armed, these with 4 means decent armed and these with 3 means ok while 2 means poorly armed. Azerbaijan is the standard everyone below 5 stars is less equipped then the Azeri armed forces..
Europe: 122-million
1.Turkey *****
2.Azerbaijan*****
3.Albania****
4.Bosnia***
5.North Cyprus*****
6.Kazakhstan*****
Far East Asia: 310-million

I only chose these who were capable and currently have stability. I excluded Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Lebanon due to instability and all of them can be added in few years. Yemen and Syria are divided in Syria's case into 3 defacto states whereas Yemen in 2 defacto states and Iraq is in process of growing they can't be invited into an alliance. Then there is Iran that is qualified to be invited but the Mullah Regime could be a hindrance but either way due to political instability created by the Mullah's.. I could have selected more but they are far from meeting the demands. Also no non-state actors like Hamas, Hezbollah or Polisario front, SDF, Houthis, SNA, SAA etc etc are allowed. Only state actors that have peace and prosperity in their country that can finance a war and have the military capability...

What separates intensive care from other high level hospital departments is the ability to intubate patients.
Like I wrote on the covid thread, China not having a high amount of ICU spots alone doesn't say anything about their overall healthcare capability, because it is a question of healthcare strategy if you want to intubate patients or not. Most severe patients do not always require intubation and it has its own associated risks.
From both life expectancy and healthy life expectancy, we can see that China has broadly better healthcare than America, but worse healthcare than the more developed countries in the EU.
What China likely did here was to just swap higher level care departments into intensive care, which doesn't require large investment or retraining, only the added capability of ventilators and more anesthetics personnel. And now, the number of 10/100 000 spots is one of the highest in the world.
Unintended consequences of America weaponizing its financial system against sovereign states. The dollar is no longer seen by world rulers as a safe haven. It is easy to hold reserves in currency that can be exchanged for durable goods, which China can supply, and only rational for leaders to gravitate towards that.
