    I see this "new world order " term thrown around a lot .Have a broad brush look at what actually is the case .

    clearly China is rising in significance and is already a very imortant and powerful country in the world which is the single biggest factor

    russia used to have a GDP about 10% that of China but likel about 8 or 9 % now ....russia is no longer a very significant economy in the world and is losing power
    these - whether we like them or not - are two facts

    certainly China will begin to gain some power as the US loses some
    perhaps India may gain some power too , remains to be seen , Presently of the order of double the GDP of russia and a lot less than Germany

    so if you want to talk about a new world order (NWO) - that is what it is looking like at this moment
    asia rising , russia falling and US losing total hegemony

    the problem I have with the term NWO though is that conspiracy theorists and US haters use it to try and predict things there is no evidence of - because they WANT it to be
    You people - you are free to hate the US but my message to you is to be realistic and honest about what the world situation actually is and NOT MAKE THINGS UP BECAUSE YOU'D LIKE THEM TO HAPPEN
    The US will still be the leader of democratic nations for the forseeable future and the reasnably united EU countries and UK have significant power also.
    there will be strong competition with China

    THAT , in a nutshell , is the fairly predictable NWO .... in reality ...not in dreams .
    (very rough and those with a brain may wish to improve and embellish )
