Hmmm. . . Collapse of Russia, Collapse of China, America winning the war on terror and such related events. . . I am starting to like this George Friedman fellow! I predict something similar to what he has already stated, plus; Thee emergence of Brazil as a world powerin ~ 10 years.

The development of many Majority World countries ranging from 10-50 years.

Democracy being brought to Cuba in ~25 years.

American/possibly Canadian colonization/develpment of Africa in ~20 years.

As political tensions rise throughout Afro-Eurasia, the oil and minerals in the Middle East will be the spot of major warfare, unless the United States can bring Democracy to it in ~ 10-15 years.
