We've always got the nukes. No country dare attack us - look what we did last time!

I quit trying to predict the future after the Cold War ended with no all consuming holocaust.

30 years from now I'm not so sure, but I'll be dead

More like 10 years. That is when China starts to feel a demographic pinch. The One Child per Family policy means that China will likely have a shrinking population by then and will need to cement their spheres of influence.

It is doubtful that China will directly engage us. But Japan, Vietnam and the rest are not as safe. And we could get dragged into that to some degree.
