Russia and the Islamic fundy nations of the Mid East and North Africa will emerge to be the predominant world influence and military powers of the world with the blessings and support of the UN.
i think this is very very unlikley ...given the state of russia ..its internal decay both militry and civilian ... if you read the info coming out its clear russia is in a long transistional phase , colapse is the more likely prospect .. but us / western money will prop it up ... .
as for the ME and NA if you look at many of the nations they are going to fight each other as much as the west , and they are very dependant on the west for arms and technology . look at the poor showing of the Iraq army in a convensonal combat situation .
a better perdiction would be a decline in the UN 's status .. it has failed so many times .. more usa / euro lead actions .. and china lead .. acting alone is going to become comman
