Africa will be again colonized and exploited economically like Cecil Rhodes did in 110 years back.World will be divided into two or three main economic groups,The Influence and power of United States will diminish even more,Europe will still be in economic hardship.This only if a World war do not take place and if it does no body can predict which nation will survive.

Several things could happen:
1. China needs land for their population (and egos). Not that I have anything against Chinese. It's just that they're quite powerful, as well as being communists. The men in government there would not mind dropping biological bombs on the US, or other countries. Something important, whether it be a war or what I don't know, will happen involving China.
2. America will not be the most powerful country in the world. Actually, I doubt we are at the moment, it's just that nobody will admit it. We're going down (and I don't mean it in a bad way, I just mean we can't continue at the rate we're going). Again, for the most powerful country in the world, keep an eye on China, or the. . .
3. The EU. Basically, the Euro is meant to replace the dollar as the best form of currency. It's succeding well. The EU could be the next 'superpower' rather than just being another laughable attempt to bring nations together.
4. North Korea. They're just itching to use their nuclear weapons.
Lots more, of course, but I don't have time to give all my opinions.
And, of course, nobody can predict the future.

I fear that we will be moving closer to socialism. Obviously the liberal democrats are socialists and even some republicans are becoming more that way, supporting government spending of all kinds.
I hope that there will be a rebellion against this philosophy though, and also an awakening of christianity.
My belief and prediction is that socialist government doesn't work, and will fail within 20 years, so there will in fact be a US and global revival of conservative politics and values.
The radical muslim factor in all of this is hard to predict though. They obviously have a very different vision for the world than most in the west do. There aren't many countries now, willing to fight radical islam, and if democrats take full control of the US, even we won't be fighting them anymore.
As I said on another post recently, predicting politics is a game for losers, because politics is very unpredictable.

exactly where we are. nothings going to change. no president is going to change the fact that other countries hate Americans and any country with more power than themselves. They see us as loud, ignorant tyrants. How is that going to change? It's not! Kids in Africa want to kill all Americans and can call us all kinds of colorful words, but can't point us out on a map!
Terrorism is a lost cause. Nobody can make everybody happy. Therefore, countries will always be fighting for money, power and technology. Nuclear warfare was the worst thing EVER invented. Between Nuclear threats and Missles in the Sea of Japan- we are doomed. History will repeat itself. Technology is advancing faster than people can adjust. Countries are willing to kill millions upon billions of innocent people for power.
Nothing can save us now but the almighty.

it will be so entrenched in corporate bullcrap that the little man in this country will have no voice whatsoever, even less than today. Everything we do, everywhere we go will be recorded. We will need to have an ID implanted into our arms in order to have a job, buy food, do anything. It will be like Nazi Germany. Laws will be harshly inforced. The borders will be gone we will be ruled by a group of people who are chosen by the wealthy. The so-called 'leader' will only be a mouthpiece, a symbolic leader, representing the 'group'. Sounds like a lot of that is already in place. Worse to come. The rich will be very rich. The middle class will disappear. The poor will be very poor and the rich will do whatever they can to make sure the poor stay poor. That has already begun. With allowing illegal immigrants (mostly poor) to enter, take jobs at low wages causing already poor Americans to succumb to those low wages or have no job. The rich WANT a majority poor, for them to tax, get cheap labor and live like royalty. They want to import poverty to make it like they want it faster.

If the PNAC/AIPAC twits have their way, the US will be a totalitarian theocracy with a police-state structure that Stalin could only dream about. The world will probably be in utter chaos, if we even survive to 2027.
