The recent war in ukraine shows how pointless trying to predict the future is, anything can drastically change at any moment and alter the predicted future.

I don’t think that the kurds would just voluntarily join Turkey. Even if Turkey would annex them some Kurds would continue fighting.

As a south American, the lack of anything happening here is so absolutely true I feel personally attacked

South America in this video:
“Baby I’m not even here, I’m a hallucination, move along move along.”

I was with you until the "US pulls out of everywhere" part. I can easily see us moving out of the middle east and africa, but US isolationism tends to decrease when foreign powers get aggressive, not increase.

The Russian colony on mars in 2030 sound to me even more insane then the whole "annex Belarus" thing

2030: when through ongoing war extreme poverty is eradicated

[StatiCraft]

"Poverty is completely wiped out"
*Intense warfare and migration crises, climate change and loss of arable land*
"Yep, nobody is poor and struggling anymore."

The German Co-Prosperity Sphere. Hmm, Japan tried that Co-Prosperity Sphere thing and it didn't go well. ;)

The title of the video should be the future of the world except south america XD

[romanlegionare]

I am disappointed there is no Romanian-Moldovan unification :(

[infogogi]

Your last point was totally wrong...

India will never commit that mistake...

8:54 sweden wouldn't agree on the open borders thing, since a conservative party would probably be in control as the right wing is rising over here

India naming its base on Moon Chandra is like naming your son "boy".

China's demographic issues should not be underestimated. Many thought Japan was going to overtake the US as the worlds largest economy in the 80's and 90's, they even got closer than China is currently. But their declining birthrates caught up to them, and they stagnated, remaining just a major regional power. I predict China's economy will peak and stagnate some time during the 20's. Much like Japan peaked and stagnated following 1995. China's slowing growth is a clear indication of that. People thought they would have overtaken the US by 2020. Yet they are still far behind.

The gap between the US and China in terms of population will also shrink over the next century. By 2060 the US population will be between 400 and 450 million, depending on how many immigrants they take in. China's population may shrink to as low as 1.1 or 1 billion.

By 2100 US population could reach half a billion. While China might shrink down to as low as 700-750 million. The US also has the potential to grow much more if they capitalize on the insane birth rates in many developing countries, and take in even more immigrants. As an example, US population more than tripled between 1920 and 2020.
