50 years from now, units of unmanned robots will be able to do a lot of if not all of the winning fighting. We're going to have ground troops in exoskeletons. If Africa isn't stable yet, you could send a mechanized army into an airport before landing your invading force. See Simon Mann's failed run into Equatorial Guinea in 2004 (funded with only $20MM) for a way to impact Africa without an army of deadly robots.
Then, once the UN gains more power as Europe gains more power the world will get a lot more stable. What do we have left to fight for? Water can be distributed to everyone. Food can be distributed to everyone. If we just stopped all the fighting then we could afford to give everyone in the world food.
Do you think humanity is going to take more than a few hundred years to reach practical utopia? I'm very optimistic.
