Last year, a private-intelligence firm Strategic Forecasting or Stratfor, published its Decade Forecast, in which it highlights the next 10 years of probable global political and economic developments. While international analysts often exercise their interest at predicting the major events of the future, Stratfor is confident that it's identified the major trends of the next decade. According to Stratfor, the world would be a dangerous place to live in the next 10 years with US power declining and the rising chaos between other prominent countries.

The US will have to use it's military to secure the country's nukes

The breakout of Russia's nuclear-weapons stockpile will be "the greatest crisis of the next decade," And it will be left upon the United States to decide what to do about it, even if it means dispatching ground troops to secure loose weapons, materials and missiles.

Turkey and the US will have to be close allies

As per the report, "Turkey will continue to need US involvement for political and military reasons. The United States will oblige, but there will be a price: participation in the containment of Russia. The United States does not expect Turkey to assume a war fighting role and does not intend one for itself. It does, however, want a degree of co-operation in managing the Black Sea."
