The Skeptic Conservative 
Isreal: either nuked or bombed into nothingness
Syria: Government will fall
Libya: Iran-style theocracy
North Korea: down but not out
Europe: could pull through, but I doubt it
America: Will not emerge the same (I have no idea)
Unlike my friend above me I have a slightly more optimistic view on the world.
Israel: will try to start a war with Iran but will ultimately like they are tying, there will also be a large rise in the ultra-Orthodox population.
Syria: Assad will be overthrown but I have no idea who or what the future government will be.
Libya: it will take a lot of time and money but it will become a democracy. Islam in Libya is not extreme like other countries even if the Islamic population wins out it will be a very moderate Islam that I have no problem with.
North Korea: Might try something again.
Europe: Greece is going to fall and start the dominoes falling.
America: Democrats and Republicans won’t be able to agree on anything and even if they do it won’t accomplish again.
Canada: Will try to isolate itself economically as much as possible hopefully.
