The world finally sets its limits and the wars are over. The selfish assholes have been removed from power, and all people have become so smart that they no longer choose them. Insane consumption and waste has returned to normal. Bureaucracy in all areas has been reduced to a minimum. Children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren have a home, have a rewarding job and many learning and happy children. All kinds of robots and other technical gadgets help people and do not pollute nature. The lush forest is still green and the waving sea is blue and the sun is strokingly warm.

We all live in a world w here our environment is much better and the forests are slowly coming back to life. There are fewer dead trees because the air is cleaner and less polluted with CO2. We have found various ways of producing less CO2 and removing it from the air. Private transport still exists and it is not just electric cars that are on the road. Overall, cars have become much smaller again because nobody needs such large vehicles anymore. People in large cities are also using bicycles of all kinds much more, so the number and width of roads has been significantly reduced. Everything is much greener. Wind, water and solar energy is widespread and can be produced and stored in sufficient quantities. Coal-fired power plants have been largely abolished and nuclear power has not been developed further. Heating has been reduced to a reasonable level in relation to oil and gas because these options have been significantly improved and produce even fewer emissions. People live much more with each other than against each other. The economy is still doing well because less unnecessary things are produced and goods last much longer and can even be repaired. Agriculture produces in reasonable quantities without doing so in places where, for example, water is not available in sufficient quantities for plants, people and animals.

I hope that in 2040 the current EU will become a federal state (EFV) with one army, one leadership, well armed and a major power within NATO. Japan and Australia and South Korea will join NATO. Lithuania will have a standard of living above the EU average. Ukraine will be declared a candidate for the EFV and will participate as an additional force in its defence structure. Lithuanian industry will be dominated by new technology companies and scientific institutions will be able to train qualified personnel for this field. Lithuanian agriculture will become a highly productive sector and will not require compensation from the State. Corruption will be extremely rare and punished severely, just like drug use and distribution. EFV units will be deployed on the territory of Lithuania, i.e. on the EFV border. It will be easy to do business in Lithuania, with well-developed opportunities to export products to third countries other than terrorist countries, including Russia.

After the alliance in 2025 between Trump's United States and Putin's Russia, European states have finally realized the importance of acting as a true confederation even in the most concrete areas. In energy policies, movement of goods and people and even in defense and mutual aid. Unity is strength and now we again have an important place corroborated also by the added numbers that give us different weight in all areas, both in environmental policies aimed at the care and conservation of the planet with solutions that are economically sustainable. Preserving cultural differences and taking and pooling technical and technological knowledge for the good of all Europeans.

The future of Europe, I hope, can be oriented toward the pursuit of the least possible environmental impact, the pursuit of scientific progress in the medical field, greater integration among peoples and less financial inequality among people, more attention to civil rights

In 2050 we will be living in an extreme climate we will go from heat waves to intense cold...there will be floods and earthquakes all over Europe rather better to say all over the world.... all this because we did not do enough in 2025 and in the years to follow... We did not give importance to what nature was telling us and to the signs of suffering it was sending us...we always thought we could wait and instead here we are reckoning with consequences that are now irreparable...every day is a war bulletin, people dying buried in the rubble of earthquakes, tidal waves,frostbite and even "heat"...crops are only being grown in greenhouses because the seasons no longer exist....the seas have risen covering much of some nations surrounded by the sea... It is no longer the world we knew, but we wanted this one....

In 2040, I hope to have aged gently and be able to spend a relaxed retirement with friends. Elderly care will be better, people will be able to meet face to face and the futility of digitalisation will have been forgotten. Welfare and health care are in order, with care available wherever you want it. No one is left alone. Less money is spent on war and much more on people's well-being. Income is more evenly distributed and there is less corruption everywhere. Europe is at peace and the Cold War is just a sad memory. Nature is still reasonably well and climate change has not advanced at a huge rate.

Pollution would finally be falling, and a real awareness would have taken place everywhere (Europe and the rest of the world). No more active military conflicts in Europe and as few as possible in the rest of the world. Politicians would at last be willing to act for the good of all, and not for their own personal gain. Leaders would take a long-term view and not just look ahead to election dates...

In 2040, Europe is prosperous thanks to a dynamic and inspiring business environment. It has done away with pseudo-legislation and pointless and unnecessary bureaucracy, while deregulation has created new industries and technologies - and repatriated much production from the Far East. Technological development is faster in Europe than on any other continent - which in turn has made Europe (the EU) an economic powerhouse. The UK, Norway and Switzerland are closely associated with the EU and participate in the free trade zone and military cooperation. The European armies work closely together to form one of the strongest and most deterrent military powers in the world. This has secured the external borders and deterred aggressors from the rest of the world. European military cooperation has secured Ukraine's freedom and isolated Russia, among other things. The same Russia that has stopped its hybrid war against the EU through a consistent policy of retaliation. Europeans are free people living in healthy democracies with great freedom of speech. Religion has again become a private matter - and the veto of the bully is not tolerated. Jews can once again live in Europe's metropolises without police protection and latent threats of violence. Non-integrable migrants from MENAP countries have left or been deported, further increasing prosperity. Europeans are starting to have children again and fertility rates are steadily increasing. We believe in ourselves and we believe in the future again - and it is the freedom of the individual citizen that is at the center of everything.

I would hope that the world would be a better place to live in, less pollution, less inequality, and offer many opportunities for all, of course no wars to threaten existence . one would also hope that science has solved the many problems that plague us, npn more disease or suffering, food for all. respect for all living forms animal or plant, a kind of garden of eden, but without snakes

The European Commission, that group of liberal satraps, has at last been replaced by democratically elected leaders, their cowardly behavior in the face of Russia having discredited them and led to a revolt by the nations that refuse to accept the expansion of the Ukraine they have maintained at arm's length, to the detriment of their agricultures, invaded by low-end products. Nations that came only to benefit from subsidies have been ejected, and are content with a free-trade agreement. Great Britain joined the Union as an observer. The bankruptcy of the German system and its coal-based energy finally made it possible to dispense with its tutelage. President Trump died, victim of Musk's coup. China tried again to invade Viet-Nam and took another beating. And I'm 89 years old.

After the ruinous economic crisis caused by the European political ruling class corrupted by funds from the Far East, we have regressed to the level of a subsistence economy, where the rich have remained or become even richer, while the working class is suffocated and burdened by economic burdens imposed by laws designed to keep the bureaucratic class (which in fact produces nothing) alive economically by forcing the people to finance the performance of merely bureaucratic acts in the black. the peasant class (in fact agricultural entrepreneurs) live in prosperity as they are privileged (they have land and livestock to survive). Poverty and hardship will lead to the partitioning and management of land by subjects more or less legitimized by residents (protection, food and survival). The spread of depression will lead to the misuse of more or less licit substances (from cheap alcohol to sophisticated drugs for the wealthier classes). a general lack of national pride will cause many things to lose their meaning, and what might have been considered "honorable" will no longer have the same value. In essence there will be a progressive social regression (history teaches: dark times after the fall of the Roman Empire). To those who will still be alive the arduous judgment, even if history will be manipulated to condition minds and social intentions. NCSS: There Will Be No Hope!!!
