User blog comment:Eastward Expansion/What do you think the Future will bring? (Book Review part 1)/@comment-1187803-20100729210830

I think that there will never be a WWIII. Instead the world will devide into three spheres of influence. The EU will become more powerful on the world sphere and it will eventualy take a single seat on the UN security council. The chinese will continue to expand thier influence in Africa so that they can gain a larger supply of oil. The USA will continue on the downward slope it is curently on and will be eclisped by Russia, the EU and China. India and Japan will become great powers as well although India will probabley ally itself with Russia and the UK while Japan will ally itself with the USA.

There will probably be proxy wars between the powers, for example South Africa and the other African commenwelth will probabley fight against the Chinese backed african nations while Asia will become a new political battleground between Japan, India, China and Russia.
