Russian Scholar Predicts Economic Crisis Will Rip America Apart

[WillowTree]

A Russian scholar is predicting that the United States' current financial crisis will lead to the breakup of the country.

Igor Panarin, a professor at the diplomatic academy of Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told the newspaper Izvestia on Monday that America will break apart into six regions following the crisis.

"Dissatisfaction is growing, and it is only being held back at the moment by the elections, and the hope that [President-elect] Obama can work miracles," according to a translation by Bloomberg. "But when spring comes, it will be clear that there are no miracles."

Panarin predicts the U.S. will split into: the Pacific, the South, Texas, the Atlantic coast, the central states and the northern states, and hinted that Alaska could be Russia's for the taking.

Now ain't this sad?? Just think of all the years you lefties wasted being ashamed of America! Might not be a problem too much longer hey?

That's it, my world is coming to an end. It's time to hunker down, hit the gun shows and hope for the best.

Eh, I dunno how likely this is. Just seems the guy wants the US to go the way of the Soviet Union. Is it in the cards? Don't know, but don't think so.

I was just looking up stuff, but all I can find is the short story. What's the reasoning behind it? I mean, like what's the scenario and whatnot? It's not anywhere. So, I dunno, it's a pretty useless piece of info. = \ If anyone finds it, I'd be interested to read it.

 

[WillowTree]

well, I dunno, I know Russia and Hugo (remember Hugo? the darling totalatarian of the left?) they're down in Venezuela hugging it up now,, Russia's parked a couple of war ships

Yeah, but how certain is it that the US is going to break up into six pieces in the short term? You see what I'm asking? Like, how does he explain the possibility or the conditions that would have to emerge for this to actually happen, and how likely is it? And just who is this guy and why is his opinion so important?

I mean, really, what are Hugo Chavez and Putin do about it? If that were the argument it'd be pretty ridiculous. It's probably gonna have to do with domestic factors. I just wish I knew what they are or what he's talking about. Otherwise it's just... some guys opinion.

Why is this news? If we made a headline every day for every insult the Soviet Union threw at us back in the Cold War days, we would've run out of room. Let the Russians with their vodka insult us all they want. They never were and never will be anywhere as good as America is.

That's fine with me. The Libtards need to have their own country. Maybe they'll merge with Canada.

You mean the majority of the country?

 

[xsited1]

You mean the majority of the country?

The majority of the country is moderate to conservative.

yes! you like that idea??? I do... give me room lots of room underneath the starry skies, don't fence me inn

 

[WillowTree]

The majority of the country is moderate to conservative.

I cannot tell, they voted for the obamalama,,

In direct violation of the Monroe Doctrine.

 

[GigiBowman]

I remember watching the TV Show Jericho, and on the show the US broke up into six pieces. No WONDER they took it off the air!

 

[xsited1]

I cannot tell, they voted for the obamalama,,

They only voted for Obamalama ding-dong because Bush was an LBJ-style Democrat. The United States does not need two Democrat Parties. This is a seminal moment for the Republican Party. If they want to continue with the Neoconservative movement, they'll eventually die.

Even if America breaks up into more manageable sovereign regions, the one thing that would solidify a response from all of us is an attack on Alaska from Russia... Even if Caribou Barbie and her fellow Alaskans weren't sitting over so much energy resources.

Wow. That's pretty big talk from a country that has spent the last two decades ripping itself apart. Someone needs to pull this "scholar" out of the library and had him a newspaper. (Ukraine,Georgia,Chechnya ring a bell?)

Venezuela is a basket case and China's growing economy depends largely on selling us all their crap. Plus China can't project power except on land. And what little Air Force and Navy they have was, well, made in China. LOL

The United States is a center-right country. Always has been always will be. The vast bulk of the Democratic representatives elected are CONSERVATIVE (aka "blue dog") and have nothing at all to do with Pelosi and Reid's secular-progressive agenda. Dems rode to power on an anti-Bush backlash for a failed presidency, not some kind of massive left shift in the body-politic.

In case you haven't noticed, Obama, based on his appointments is choosing to govern largely from the center. There will be no big tax shifts, no massive health care, and a build up, not a draw down of foriegn deployed troops and he plans full steam ahead on the anti-missile system in Poland. All that is going to be hard for you lefties to swallow as your "savior" is anything but a left wing loon

 

[Lycurgus]

Well I'm still digging that fox-hole! lol


Not to take anything away from the Russian's but here is a little tid bit of insight. On their first sea excursion to visit Hugo that grand ship they sent also had a tug escort with it, as there was no guarantee it would make the trip trouble free. I must wonder how many tugs they sent with this small navel force?

Yep still digging, gonna hide from the Bears and stockpile my ammo.

Hibernation is over for the grumpy ole Bear and they seem to be trying to figure out what was merely a realistic dream and reality.

Obama can have them over for a tea party and fix things up for us!

 

[Care4all]

hahahahahahahaha!

I find it amusing in the way they broke up the 6 regions....lollollol

Did anyone else notice that Texas ALONE is one of those Regions?

The Pacific, the South, Central States, Northern States, Atlantic Coast, and TEXAS.

I think they must know where all the guns are in this country and some Texan history!!!



care

If the USA breaks up, I would expect that New England, Mid Atlantic and Northern Midwest to comprise one of those nations.

They are (or were) the industrialized areas, and their interests, seems to me, are basically similar enough that they would naturally find themselves allied in most issues.
