What will happen.....
This is sort of based on ideas I have been toying with for quite a while and a prelude-if you will-to the fictional events in the television series "Babylon 5". It is quite strange to think about these things now considering hostilities between the Turkish, Russian and American governments and how George Freeman predicted a conflict between Turkey and the USA around ten years ago in his book "The Next Hundred Years". see my other blog here
In 2004 I came to the conclusion that the European Union would expand into the countries of North Africa and that Tony Blair took Britain into the invasion of Iraq in order to help facilitate the integration of Turkey into the EU. The north African nations would have access to the single market but a Trump-style militarised border would be put in place to prevent immigration from Sub-Saharan Africa.
It is possible considering this scenario that Israel would be admitted into the European Union. I am also expecting Israel to go too far by launching an attack on Iran. This leads to a nuclear conflict with Pakistan and a conventional war (albeit fought remotely with drones and satellite weapons) a decade or so later with Turkey and perhaps Japan. Pakistan would not have the range to attack the United States with nuclear weapons and most casualties would be as a result of a Chernobyl-style event due to Israel's assault on Iran's nuclear facilities. This event, in turn, provokes Pakistan who is defeated by her neighbours and bombed by the USA with conventional weaponry after launching an attack on Israel. Most of her missiles miss and land in the Mediterranean Sea or hit other countries: Cyprus, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Iran.
The consequences for America could be worse as it loses the support of the so-called "Red States". The southern and mid-western states secede when the federal government cuts funding to Israel and threatens it with sanctions if it retaliates against Pakistan with nuclear weapons. As a result, the USA is more like the United Territories of America consisting really of its military bases and embassies worldwide, the original thirteen colonies, California and Washington State. Not to mention unincorporated territories like Puerto Rico. As predicted by other commentators, the secessionist states become collectively known as "Jesusland". They include Alaska and Florida.
Postscript: I am not endorsing the frankly racist (not to mention statist) views Freedman has towards Amerindians and African-Americans. If you meet this guy please punch him in the face for me!
