100 Years

It’s prompts like these that make me wish that I had any kind of energy at all. In 100 years, the world will probably be a tad different. Everyday life will probably remain mostly unchanged. There will have been a war between Israel and Iran (I’ve got $50 on Israel. Any takers?). North Korea will have completely collapsed and turned into a failed state. Or more of one. Russia will have emerged as one of those nations that talks a lot, but can’t do anything to back their words up. They’ll be the blustering old man of the world who yells at all the kids to get off of their lawn. Except their lawn is Siberia and no one wants to be there anyways. China will have slowed down in terms of economic growth. A flimsy alliance of Asian and Oceanic nations will be all holding them from dominating the Pacific. India and Pakistan will still face each other across tense borders. India is leading the alliance against China, and Pakistan is the only reason that India isn’t showing more aggression towards China. So, just like today, a flimsy network of “alliances” is all that will keep the world from exploding. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
