- If asked this question in 2006, I don't think many would have predicted that the Middle East would be more unstable than ever and that we would still be involved in these conflicts.
- If asked this question in 1996, I don't think many would have predicted that the US would be involved in two massive land based wars against terror groups.
- If asked this question in 1986, I don't think many would have predicted that the USSR would be gone and we would be in a post-cold war world.
- If asked this question in 1976, I don't think many would have predicted the rise of the US military force under Reagan given the severe reduction post-Vietnam.
- If asked this question in 1966, I don't think many would have predicted the escalation of Vietnam and the disastrous results it would have had for us.
- If asked this question in 1956, I don't think many would have predicted we would be entering a conflict in Vietnam.
- If asked this question in 1946, I don't think many would have predicted the Korean War.
- If asked this question in 1936, I don't think many would would have predicted World War II.
When asking this question in 2016, there are many obvious things to consider, such as continued terror threats from Islamic extremists and other groups, the ambition of Putin and Russia, the economic rise and military expansion of China, the erosion of US economic power and political in-fighting, etc. However, if anybody could actually predict what the world will look like in 10 years, he/she will be one of the few. The only thing we can say for sure is that America must remain politically, militarily, economically, and culturally strong to face whatever dangers there are against freedoms in the world.

The world will be wonderful. Everyone gets a puppy. Unless you're a cat person, then you get a ball of yarn and an online dating profile at eHarmony for free.

Wow. Very interesting read. Kind of very specific in several of these predictions. But just about all of them can happen.
