From a stategic point of view, they only need to hit Russia and Drakia to achieve their goals, Russia's allies are either militarily weak or Russia's unwilling partners.
The world is getting ready for new wars, while the anthropocene extinction made it to became a mix of 1980's post apocalyptic fiction and the movie AI.

Sorry to hear that. :( Hope you reconsider, but wish you good luck in your projects.

If we look at the map and the update with it, it seems to me that between losses due to orbital bombardment, likely future rebellions, and ecological collapse (very likely to affect some of the "core" (or citizen dominated) parts of drakia), there won't be much to contest their opponents advances.
Like others, I expect it will involve Drakian disrespect for a religion, possibly Islam, and sparking a large revolt centred wither in Arabia (or likely Egypt), which would isolate Dart from the centre of Drakian territories and remaining resources.
Speaking of territories, I noticed Drakia...
