   * **Why it won't happen:** While not completely inconceivable, this seems increasingly less likely given recent events.  A huge military, in particular, would be unlikely except in response to a huge threat.  Japan is a wealthy and unified country and does not seek a military capable of deployment around the world, for example. As for enlargement, many remaining European countries explicitly do not wish to join the EU, or the EU explicitly does not wish to accommodate them.
