I don't know about full-scale military mobilisations but I think there would definitely be more escalations/skirmishes in the Pacific. From what I've read, full-scale military invasions between the larger militaries are theoretically impossible at this point, the armies are so large that you could only maintain a supply chain for a couple of months and barely get a foothold before you would have to withdraw... you couldn't keep the forces stocked and fed.
