In the early 1980's, I saw a report that predicted the fall of the Soviet Union, the reunification of Germany, the rise of Poland in Eastern Europe, and that the fall of Communism would not include China and surrounding nations.

The report was smirked at and eye-rolled pretty strongly, but history played out very closely to those predictions, including the timeframes.

So, you can never tell. One thing in the report that is laughable is the concept of some sub-Saharan African nations becoming economically strong in a China-style manufacturing boom.

There is no historical basis to underpin this assertion. All previous predictions of economic growth for this region have proven to be wishful thinking.

I'm curious what Stratfor's predictions 10 years ago were.
