I speak in a holistic sense, in every aspect meaning political, social, economic and environmentally. I placed this thread in this forum because of the multi-disciplinarian nature of this question. I am seeing things really beginning to accelerate on the downward spiral trajectory. I expect the whole Middle East to continue to unravel and mass migration to continue. Europe at some point will get very uptight and attempt some sort of fortifications, walls, military use etc. Economically, it seems quite possible now that things will also unravel as oil and it's price really begin to bite the entire world economy. Debt and stock market instabilities should also exacerbate a downward spiral for economies and stock exchanges. I do not see the EU remaining viable as it is. Rather a few of the potent countries will remain allied loosely and the rest will be left stranded. I expect wider and greater mass protests even as governments tighten control and exert their power. Kind of like an immovable object meets an irresistible force. Environmentally, I expect more extreme weather events to manifest themselves and possibly create crippling droughts or floods that will decimate crop lands and serve as catalyst for further migrations and refugees. So all in all we will be lucky to avoid a full force collapse within the next 10 years after that all bets are off and who knows what calamities await then.

Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
