I just spoke to my friends on Sat about the eventual disappearance of a certain N country within the span of 5 to 10 years.
On Sunday, the news headlines declared that reunification between the two feuding kousins were possible.
I think this is because the more irritating kousin has insecurities behind the backer and decided to test the ground.
Sadly, the big boy standing behind one of the kousins decided that he doesn't need the constant trouble, especially in the face of new friends around the vicinity (up to four new and very eager friends, by the way), so the big (C) may be throwing the kousin to the wolves.
Over a discussion with my parents, i gave them an idea of what i felt would happen. They told me to write it down, with no respective references.
Well, for a start, before Christmas, here it goes.
My gut burps that:
1. Massive donations for global charities may be an excellent front for money laundering activities, this is in the wake of a prolonged set of donations newly announced last weekend.
2. Large countries with 2 distinct capitals (that could serve as balance and checks on governments) always thrive, because competition in bureaucratic development ensures a race for proper government.
3. Little dots concentrate on socialist regimes only because they can afford it, but it usually last at most 5 decades (and this figure gets smaller as globalisation and the free, unrestricted flow of information occurs). Classical context would be Eastern and Westernd Rome, and Tang China. Modern context, well plenty.
4. Small countries that do not give a semblance of home to their citizens will lose they borders and become a temporal transit point.
All these are what i feel will happen in the span of half a lifetime. Although these are not predictions, just ramblings, I certainly hope something would happen.
Time is but a window, i shall be back.
