De-escalation and Cooperation

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Vladimir Putin died in 2025, ending years of dictatorship, censorship, and overblown ideas of Russian power. After a fair and transparent election, a progressive politician comes to power, and the old regime falls away with the reactionaries. In the 15 years following, Russia has become an economic powerhouse and has international cooperation as its focus. With a stable government, it is not a military threat to Europe, China, or indeed, any other country.
This has inspired other regions in Asia and the Middle East to scale back aggressive behaviours, especially regarding disputed territories. Israel has relocated its citizens to new builds, and negotiations are being held to establish an independent Palestinian state. Hamas has become a political organisation and has renounced its militant ways. Israel has also started making amends to the Palestinian people, but this is a long and ongoing process.
The US has become the old guard. It is still a place of dreams and technology, but after the economic crash of 2026, the American people are tired of the pursuit of more and more. The slow life is now the lifestyle trend.

Upanje za prihodnost.
In 2040, it would be nice to have more freedom, more joy, more happiness, more hope and more empathy and understanding. No differences, no racism, sexism, or anything like that. No hatred in general. I cannot put into words how much I want this. Equality for all. That is my hope, my wish. If it comes true in 2040, when I'm gone, I'll still be happy as a ghost.

There are no wars in the world. Nature is in harmony and people are respectful of it. There has been a major rethink, mindfulness in dealing with each other has become normal. Money is better distributed around the world, salary differences have become smaller. Life, housing etc. has become cheaper... You can afford more

There is peace in the world, hunger has been conquered and poverty no longer exists. Energy production is based on CO2-free sources and climate change has been halted. Global migration movements are limited because the economy in the original countries of origin is being rebuilt, corruption has been abolished and democratically elected governments exist.

Slovenija v svetu 2050
Slovenija se je kot majhna država znašla med letoma 2025 in 2035 v velikem gospodarskem, političnem in družbenem pritisku. Vojne in trgovinska napenjanja mišisic najmočnejših igralcev na geopolitičnem odru sveta so Slovenijo potisnile v tok svetovnega dogajanja na kategerega sama ni mogla vplivati. Trpela je velik upad življenskega standarda in blaginje svojega prebivalstva. Vladajoče politične strukture tega niso bile sposobne omiliti, saj so same bile vpete v sistemsko korupcijo, ki je močno vplivala na razvoj države. Med letoma 2030 in 2040 se globalno stanje tako poslabšalo, da je slovenija kot država po razpadu evropske unije komaj obstala. Podnebne spremembe so močno prizadele tudi slovenijo. Pridelki so padli v količini in kvaliteti na globalni ravni in povzročili kritične težave v globalni oskrbi s hrano. Le ta je privedla do globalne družbene revolucije, ke je v večini držav zrušilo obstoječe vladajoče strukture. Države niso imele več vodij ampak je umetna inteligenca koordinirala različne družbeno storitvene sektorje kot so zdravstvo, varovanje ljudi in premoženja, gospodarstvo itd. Uveden je bil univerzalni temeljni dohodek na globalni ravni, ki je ljudem dal isto izhodišče za življenje. Slovenija se je temu prilagodila in tako kot država leta 2050 tudi obstala.
