Overthrow? Are you kidding? China can't get along and no way the seaport cities and provinces, who are very pro Western would be supportive and no way can the interior, which are jealous of the seaports and are very poor could do anything. No Navy either.

Russia is a shrinking demographic and getting old. Putin can make waves locally and nibble around the edge of the Balkins and that's about it.

As long as America has a strong Navy and controls the global waters it's interests are pretty damn safe.

A middle east in shambles is not always a bad thing. It keeps regional powers from growing too much which might increase extremist groups and by virtue terrorism, but still keeps the area in check.

And regardless of immigration, the Southern borderlands will always and continue to be Hispanic influenced which will gradually creep North and gain much political influence in the coming decades.
