As for the EU countries, they allowed themselves to be overrun by their enemies through unfettered immigration essentially allowing their enemies to walk in unopposed and they are in complete disarray. As such, they aren't going to be an economic superpower. The next economic superpower may well be smomeone we haven't heard of yet.
