    @vampirekiller9283, Please, remember that Turkey, is a NATO member, which in this cast meams that it can conduct serious ground/mobile operations.Turkey has a pretty fine navy,which can blockage an enemy's coast with no problems. The IDF, has never faced such a military of this magnitude(google= turkish armed forces),also we're not sure if turkey, has any nukes-per say!!! So really, if turkish govt. wanted to move/run over the IDF, believe me it wouldn't be much of a problem to do so!!!!

    I can see China and India rising as superpowers, but Europe? Please, don't make us laugh.

    It's hard to see Israel remaining that little white dot. It has a large Muslim populace and Judaism is non-proselytizing. It may become a predominantly Muslim country and then enter Turkey's sphere of influence.

    Thats just not true, the US and Russia are the exceptions, most western countries spend aprox 2% of GDP on defence (2% is NATO's advised minimum level of spending).

    US military doesn't cost far too much to maintain. It's 4% of GDP. That's pretty average. Russia has the same spending. It's just the US economy is way larger than anyone which is why defense spending is so much more, that and the 2 wars the US are involved in at the moment.

    He is correct in assuming that China will never be a global hegemon. China does not want to control global issues; it has enough on her hands to deal with the population. China has always been split on external trade and prosperity and internal harmony and control. Space is the future and he covers this in his book. The challenge for America is continuing control of the oceans and this can only be accomplished by controlling space.

    When did he say it would double? All i heard was that the developed countries of the world would see population growth decline, as would others. Plus since 1991 as a population of roughly 230 million in the US, we jumped to 305 million in perhaps 20 years.

    Besides hes not sayin a complete revival of the soviets, just a power increase of sorts.

    Frankly i can't say anything bout china ect., thats pretty much your opinion, only time will tell.

    The theories he's proposing here are completely implausible. He's saying that the population will double in the next hundred years? That's, frankly, impossible. According to UN population projections, the upper limit of what the population could possibly be is 450 million in 2100.

    Also, the fact of the matter is, American power has been waning for decades. If there are going to be superpowers, they're going to be China, India, and Europe.

    And a resurgent USSR? No, just no.

    This guy is a total genius. I haven't read the book yet, but the preface to the book alnow will make you think for days! I've gotten his updates for over 10 years now and am convinced I am way more informed just because of it than if I never got them.
