Next 10 years? US will still be on top.

It's impossible to tell what will happen in the long term. China or India could very well become so called world leaders, but it's difficult to imagine that happening without tremendous cultural changes taking place within those nations - little things called private property, individual/human rights, religious tolerance, and freedom of the press.

Russia and Germany have shrinking populations and lost their hegemony some time ago. The EU as a collective will maintain power for some time just like the US. I doubt we'll see the power change in our lifetime.
