- Pakistanis gone.
- Britons and Germans will be.
Bangladeshis will anyway continue to spam garbage on forums like this 15-20 years more.
Man
@Indx TechStyle these comments reek superiority these countries Britain and Germany are extremely rich they will never face anything too bad
Not really, both UK and Germany are into deep shit this time, themselves heading towards becoming middle income economies.
UK's finances have already dried up, people's purchasing power evaporating (that's why asking for FTAs) and GDP per capita has started to decline fast. They are going to start run around of bail outs soon like Spain in 90s. If they don't end up like Argentina and Chile, they won't be be any better than Spain in next 15 years even if Japan or US bail them out. As for Germany, its economic crises are a bit slow. A US-China war will anyway make it like UK.
European states with few exceptions like France were largely built upon foreign investments, financial services, currency bloating, Asian consumption and inflated resale of commodities acquired from Africa. All are essentially American satellite states which obviously will fallback as monopoly of US on global finances ends. They will become like Latin America in long term. US is still too rich and powerful to face any real decline in this half of century.
The world and geopolitics in 10~15 years from now will be very different from what we see now. It will feature a stronger, richer and more aggressive China, relatively weaker than now but still resilient US, a stronger, richer and assertive India, a weaker but resilient Japan, an isolated Russia with no much say anymore, UK, Germany and even Europan Union no longer in big picture, ASEAN and East Asia Summit replacing EU in say, South Korea and Indonesia gradually filling the gaps of decline of UK and France, more and more new developed and middle income countries from Asia compensating for European decline around 20 countries faring in space (at least 10 major space powers).
Both, growth of Asia-Pacific and decline of Europe will make Asia surpass Latin America and achieve 60-70% of European income levels.
