hey sorry to say this but i beleive that there is no answer other than global conflict.
China wants to dominate the world but will start with Asia...Japan is starting to up arm its forces..(it coukld build an atomic bomb within days of a conflict starting or whenever they want to) they started building their own indiginous aircraft for the first time since the second world war...(all other planes were built under licence) India is well aware of the territorial claims of China, they have still not forgiven China for invading india in the 60's and they have a massive army now.......Korea is still simmering....almost all the asian regions have ethnic problems malaysia with the Bumi Putra....(natives of malaysia) Indonesia with its 250 million people of every kind of race creed and colour is becomming naughty...PAKISTAN is also a tinder keg...
Europe has the Balkans, the Muslims who are getting ever more daring, the Basque Seperatist group Eta...in Spain.
Then we have Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran soon to have a nuclear bomb, We have Saudi Arabia, slowly moving towards extremism, and so too much of the rest of the middle east...then ther is the thorn in all of their sides...Israel...
And once America contracts and people see an oppurtunity it will kick off.....
My thoughts are that it will be another multiple attack by the muslims on a totally defenseless target...something like the death of a christian worker in Afghanistan but on a bigger scale...that will trigger a global event...
And on top of all of this we have the vindictive, angry mentally insane Russian leaders who are slowly building their forces back to pre cold war numbers in an attempt to re take all of the lands they count as theirs......ooh we have so much trouble coming...
I for one am digging my underground bunker now. I think within the next 10 years it will be needed...
