catalonian and galician independence
Spain annexes Morroco and west sahara
Gaddafi is cloned and stabilises Libya
Greenland is independent but part of it becomes american and a bit in the south breaks off
Integralist brazil
Baja California independent
Portugal reestablishes colonies in Africa
independent epirus
The ents go to war
Did this guy break into Zizek's coke stash?

Pretty much nothing about this map makes sense.

Leading geopolitics expert Robert Kelly from Berkeley released his prediction for the world's borders in 2040 last night.
Source on him doing that map?

… Why the fuck would the municipality of Kujalleq secede from Greenland? There are like 7,000 people tops living there.

it took 17 posts for anyone to ask this
I just copied it from a thread on /pol/. I don't even think Kelly works at Berkeley University, and he is an asian expert, focusing on North Korea, not world politics.

There are four american military bases there, including a nuclear one. The USA pays 20%+ of the budget for Greenland renting that land.

Well at least it is asked, the thread you linked to on another hand…

I feel like the random edgy flags for lotsa places makes it pretty obvious he didn't.

WHY THE FUCK DO THE ARGIES HAVE THE FALKLANDS???

implying a few sheep farmers are worth fighting over

What about that gray patch between Latvia and Belarus? Also, when will Russia collapse according to him?

Never underestimate the British willingness to fight (especially after at-least lke 4 pints).

Regardless, the UK has like half a marine div stationed on the island, the argies don't even have enough landing craft to get their troops there. And there is fuck all chance of the UK giving it up. It is especially silly since there isn't a 32 county Republic: something that has an immensely larger chance of occurring.

Even a literal rock your country planted it's flag on gives you control over a quite large territory.

And apparently there is oil down there.
:^)

I too want to earn millions for drawing this skizofrenic map

I don't think the author of this map is gaining any money for that map.

The Posadists establish a base camp there and use it as the launch pad to meet their comrades in the stars

China
Wew, that's a hot take. Very unlikely that the Kuomintang would oust the CPC.
Greenland
realistic,although I don't see the US annexing its western coast. But they might get fed up with Denmark eventually
Russia splitting up
VERY UNLIKELY. Russia grants a lot of autonomous rights for the Sibirian nations.
Saudi-Arabia splitting up
Realistic, an understatement even. A Saudi civil war would be desastrous, and I doubt the House Saud could maintain power, so the flag would change
Iran turning secular
Maybe, not necessarily.
Libya still existing
Why the fuck, they are pretty much a failed state at this point
Canada becoming… nationalist?
Why? Canada are the biggest fucking liberal cucks on the planet.
Brazil turning fascist
It's more likely that they turn socialist. Is Brazilian Integralism still a political force today?
Catalonian and Occitanian independence
Maybe.
Khazakstan turning socialist
That's nice, but why?

I can't identify what's going on in Greece.

I would 100% move to Posadist Kazakhstan SSR tbh.

and even with all that nonsense STILL no United Ireland or Independent Scotland

all the geopolitical enemies of the US collapse and break apart
seems reasonable right?
This is Stratfor tier predictions

On the other hand, DPRK still holds out.

By the way, what the fuck is that Southern bay in Greenland? Reestablished Byzantine Empire in exile? Why would a state with only 50k inhabitants split up even further? Does anybody even live in the northern and east part of Greenland? Did seals form their own nation?

Why the fuck, they are pretty much a failed state at this point
Thats some Nice Imperialist Propaganda that you just spouted off
The Vast Majority of Libya is under control of the LNA and Tobruk-Gov
The only reason the Tripoli gov is alive at this point is US/NATO/EU Aid

Also, did anybody notice that Svalbard is going to declare independence and invades the northern coast of Scandinavia? How are they going to do that with only 2000 people?

That's just Norway user.

Catalonia AND Galicia separates
But no Euskadi, Valencia, Andalusia or Asturias.
Morocco becomes spanish clay for some reason.
There are more chances of the third republic becoming a thing that of that map becoming true.

Why did Greece magically shift to the East?

I guess the reason for Spain occupying Morocco is that the author of this map assumes some second Arab Spring in Morocco, deposing the monarchy, or, the conflict with West Sahara escalates. This leads to civil war. Spain, just deprived of Catalonia, turns nationalist and needs some nationalist success to make up for that, therefore intervening in Morocco to "keep the peace" and "protect the Spanish citizens of Ceuta and Melilla", annexing it in the process. EU doesn't exist anymore.

I'd say it's not too far-fetched.

Crimea joins some Kavkaz country
this doesn't make sense
the guy's shit all retarded and he draws like a fag

these are the socialist countries:
DPRK
Mongolian Peoples republic
Kazakh SSR
Cuba
Vietnam
laos

WHAT IS THAT MONSTROSITY IN GREENLAND

China gets taken over by reactionary KMT
Japan goes back to reactionary Militarism/Imperialism
NK stands Firm
Juche is the best governing ideology confirmed

China will go back to the ROC
Spain and Portugal will somehow redo imperialism in Africa
Greenland gets a weird fucking flag even though they already have one
Fascist Brazil
Baja California succeeds
Russian Federation collaspes
Some random Nordic flag attached to Greenland's penis
Greenland gets bigger because of their ice melting
Gaddafi's power is suddenly brought back or there's a flag referendum
Only 3 of these are plausible

Gaddafi's power is suddenly brought back
Um well mate….

Well that was one of the plausible options.

Shouldn't the Libyan people love Gaddafi at this point? Considering the living standard and welfare they had under him compared with the hellhole they have now

Most Libyans i speak to have a "Meh" attitude towards him
Most love all the West-Euro tier Social-Democratic programs he implemented
But most also hate the fact he got a fuckton of people killed in long running Border conflicts that Libya ended up losing

TLDR: Most seem to view him as a "decent" leader

Most Libyans i speak to
What is their typical class bg, tho?

Leading geopolitics expert Robert Kelly from Berkeley released his prediction for the world's borders in 2040 last night
Leading geopolitics expert
looks to me like he just shitposts on halfchan /b/

Working class as far as i know

UK still a thing
US still a thing
canada
middle east still the same
russia partitioned
nationalist china
balkans absloutelyautistic
spain gians territory in africa, but loses eastern provinces
some autistic nordic states
we know you made the map, OP.
and its fucking retarded. lurk two years before shitposting

american/israeli wishful imperialist thinking. smaller nation states are easier to bully, exploit or occupy w/ military and don't get in the way of big bullies. tribalism is not beneficial in a world where imperialist bullies exist.
interesting though, that burger imperialism even lusts after denmark/greenland, while the usa has not the slightest relation with that place. watch out guys.

this is the bad kind of autistic

so let me see if i get this straight, brazil, canada and japan turn facist, oh no will my animu go away?

still no Palestine

status quo Korea and Palestine
Cyprus fully independent and whole
Nigeria whole

but he has crazy shit like Portuguese recolonization of Africa and an Angola rump state, minority rule in Zimbabwe again, Independent Kashmir (wtf), Integralist Brazil
Balkanized Russia and France but Turkey is whole

Canada is proto-fash right now and Brazil is about to elect Bolsonaro.

What is that random ass Hordic country on the tip of new(tm) Greenland?

that map looks like a failed crisis in the kremlin playthrough and about as realistic

RoC controls mainland again
What the fuck was this mapmaker smoking

Are we all just going to ignore how Greenland sprouted an entire peninsula from its southern tip?

The fuck was this guy on?

they're gonna do the same thing china is doing with those manmade islands or whatever

Let's not forget there's some retarded purple Nordic flag at the tip of it.

op said the pic was just something he snagged from /pol/
obviously it's gonna be fucking retarded.

Occitania independent
I don't even need to see the rest of the map to be sure the whole map is bullshit, and I'm from Occitania.

Every single other super power besides the US collapses
US is somehow still whole
USA does imperialism to Greenland
ROC (which is friendly to the US) gains power thus creating two US superpowers
Every single American Ally is unharmed
Greenland, Brazil, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Libya, Kazakhstan, Iran, and a few unseen countries all completely reorganize with new flag to show
Greenland grows a penis
Another country forms on the penis
Reconquista by Spain
Siberia Balkanizes to a stupidly unrealistic level (instead of United Siberia)
DPRK exists without China to back them
Both Palestine and Israel exist
This make makes me wish the French Revolution went the America

america still exists
into the trash it goes

Here's my prediction for the world's borders

ROC annexes PRC
Portugal conquers western Angola and Mozambique
Haiti conquered by Dominican Republic
Burgerland takes a portion of Greenland
South Africa annexed Namibia
Canada, Greenland and Brazil change their flags for some fucking reason (are they supposed to be fascist?)
Soviet Kazakhstan
basically any territory that can declare independence does and the whole fucking Earth is insanely balkanized

Kuomintang resurgence
HAHAHAHHA
WHAT THE FUCK, THEY ARE A LITERAL DEAD PARTY, THERE'S MORE RESPECT ON THE MAINLAND FOR CHIANG THAN TAIWAN, THEY LOSE TO FUCKING SOCIAL DEMOCRATS DUDE
AHAHAHAHAHA

Green Libya
I like

Saif al Islam Kidafi is running for president
Okay maybe this guy is right.

All other countries are run by little girls…

No more fucking around, leftypol. We ought to all move to Kazakhstan and be the vanguard.

Holla Forums would be able to pull a coup, having any sort of congress or meeting between all of these irreconcilable tendencies? Nah

I fail to see how Karelian separatism could even contextualize, considering that less than 10% of the population in the federal republic of Karelia speak Karealian. Also if this kind of separatism was alive, I think it would be far more likely that they would join Finland considering the cultural and linguistic ties.

I die a little inside knowing retards like this guy get paid to post bullshit like this.

nationalist Canada
Short of some severe crises, I can't see this happening.

Greenland gets hit with a suborbital meteor that rearranges the coast and then goes fash(?)
Japan gets coup'd by their navy
Pootin chokes on a condom, dies and allows everybody to break away from his space-filling empire like it's Kaiserreich or some shit
Portugal gets her colonies in Africa back for reasons
Brittany breaks away for reasons
South Africa takes Rhodesia back
Hue and Leafland go fash(?)
u wot m8?

Hold the phone. As much as I love making fun of /pol/'s retarded map, do we have any sort of proof that the guy actually made it?

No, we don't. /pol/ was just making shit up, as usual

You know that controlling the majority of land doesn't mean controlling the majority of the population and resources? I know that the area under the control of the Tripoli government is significantly more populace than that of the LNA-controlled territory.

Wew, I shoulda known. Ah well, this was still a fun thread.

Integralist Brazil

las Malvinas son argentinas

How about a Posadist India?

In the late 1960s the Posadists became increasingly interested in UFOs, claiming they were evidence of socialism on other planets.[3] The movement became increasingly esoteric and New Age.[citation needed] The Posadist movement declined until Posadas' death in 1981, after which the movement largely collapsed.

que

B-b-b-but look at all that fine sand they own!!! Imperialists btfo!!!!

Occitania when Occitan culture has nearly died out
United Libya
Kuomintang China
Uyghur independence
Integralist Brazil
Kashmir independent
Russia divided, especially regions with little regional identity or nationalism
Crimea part of the Caucasus
North and South Korea
Portuguese Empire
Greenland divided
Spanish Empire
Muh Malvinas
I've seen worse autism, but this was pretty triggering.

Quebec still not independant
Greenland all fucked up
Part of Greenland becomes Burgerland colony
Scotland still not idependant
Catalonia is not under CNT rule
China goes full liberal
Korea not reunified under Best Korea
Russia balkanized even further
Japan becomes an empire again
Brazil becomes Integralist
No independant Kurdistan
No independant Tibet
Morocco, Mozambique and parts of Angola become European colonies
Puerto Rico still a Burgerland colony
Ireland still not reunified
No autonomous Zapatismo, liberal bourgeois regime takes over

I don't want to live in this world, comrades.

Broke: volunteering to fight for r*java
Woke: volunteering to fight for the 2nd Jamahiriya

Quebec under a fascist Anglo-Canadian regime? Ah bin tabarnak, on ramène le FLQ câlice!

protofash Canada
Sadly, this is pretty much true.

Its like the worst game of Millenium Dawn imaginable.

The swords on the flag kinda suggest that it's a military junta.

My own experience with CF personnel has shown me that the military has zero interest in trying to run the country. The absolute most that could possibly happen would be martial law in places like rural BC to keep first nations from blowing up pipelines

So then it's good ol' fashion fascism? Do we even know where we can actually get explanations about this map?

New fascist Axis form: Tokyo-Ottawa-Brasília
Sounds like something out of a /pol/ack's wet dream.

DR conquers Haiti
Portugal reconquers Angola and Mozambique
Spain reconquers Morocco
KMT restored in mainland China
Brazil becomes fascist
Rhodesia restored
Pahlavi dynasty restored
Palestine still divided
Ireland still divided
Korea still divided
Yugoslavia still divided
No independent Kurdistan
No independent Puerto Rico
Saudi Arabia still exists
Ukkkraine still exists
TurKKKey still exists
Straya and New Zealand still have colonial flag
Japan adopts imperialist flag
Brazil becomes fascist

Some shitty predictions there

separatism in France
lol yeah, no

You forgot fascism/military junta in Canada.

trusting prediction of more than 20 years in the future
believing the map without proof the guy even made
trusting an asian geopolitical expert for global borders
Sasuga, Holla Forums. Good to see see still fall for /pol/yps (especially nu-4/pol/‘s, fucking really) bullshit.

Why are /pol/yps such fucking liars?
