The world in 2057

Is it possible that USA is on a slowly descending course and will be replaced with EU as the next leading super power? I see three alarming tendencies:

1) Protectionism. Not only is it bad for the economy, it also breeds mental isolationanism.

2) Xenophobia. If you got rid of all illegal immigrants working in "the breadbasket" and enforced zero tolerance against anyone trying to enter the country illegally, even to make a honest living, then the food prices would skyrocket.

3) Theocracy. If you want to have a separation of state and church, then you must keep them separated.

If USA isn't breaking these tendecies like right now, then it's doomed. My guess is that in 2057 is EU a superpower far more powerful than anyone could've imagined. It rose to superpower status during the colonial wars in China on african soil. EU is allied with the African Union and are trying to contain the threat from the pan asian coalition headed by Russia and China.

1) Protectionism. If a country won't pay it's workers the same as ours is it moral to let them have that advantage over our workers? We tax them in proportion to their minimum wage and ours and the free market is preserved.

2) Xenophobia. Population must be controlled in order to preserve our standard of living. I don't care if the resources used to produce 1 burger can generate 10 loaves of bread, if the people who need that bread didn't exist I wouldn't have to be oppressed in order to feed them. If other countries won't control their population growth we shouldn't be forced at gunpoint to cater for their excess. I will not submit to tyranny.

3) Theocracy. Don't be a stupid fag.
