It's the West vs China with Russia as an also-ran with nukes now unfortunately.
Otherwise you've got some regional issues which is where Iran falls. None of the major players in the region like them, even if they would prefer not to have a conflict they'd be pretty stoked if the volatile regime was gone.
Most of those non-aligned nations are pretty much aligned with the west. Indonesia is absolutely aligned with the USA and the USA it. They are the "Indo" in Indo-Pacific Strategy!
What is the "west"?
Anyway, here's a reminder that two weeks ago the big war on everybody's head was USA against NATO.
Western liberal democracies and those closely aligned with them is colloquially "the west" now when talking geopolitics.
Obviously it's not geographic as Australia and New Zealand are in the Eastern Hemisphere but would always be assumed to be part of the "west" when discussing geopolitics.
