Question

Which non-NATO countries might join a war against the Soviet Union?

Short answer

Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and similar partners might help NATO, while India and Middle Eastern states would likely hedge according to events.

Notes

The exchange separates formal NATO membership from the wider coalition that could release ships, bases, or political support. Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore are identified as plausible partners with established Western ties. Their value may lie as much in covering other theaters and releasing NATO units as in sending ships directly to the Atlantic. India and Middle Eastern powers, by contrast, could preserve independence while positioning themselves to deal with the eventual winner, making coalition strength partly dependent on how the war develops.
