The Russians determined that America has five grand cultural zones and they could be influenced differently to pull them from the Union.

I surmise that you are, in fact, referencing the crack-pot "predictions" made by Igor Panarin (academic and former KGB analyst). His tea-leaf prognostications are amusing, but without merit.

Your blanket reference to "the Russians" is misleading!

I am, but I dont view it as crackpot at all. Do you think the left on thebWestern Seaboard views themselves as American at all?
