RUSSIAN ANALYST PREDICTS DECLINE AND BREAKUP OF USA
The Drudge Report ^ | 11-25-2008 | Matt Drudge

Posted on 11/25/2008 6:36:10 AM PST by Virginia Ridgerunner

A leading Russian political analyst has said the economic turmoil in the United States has confirmed his long-held view that the country is heading for collapse, and will divide into separate parts.

Professor Igor Panarin said in an interview with the respected daily IZVESTIA published on Monday: "The dollar is not secured by anything. The country's foreign debt has grown like an avalanche, even though in the early 1980s there was no debt. By 1998, when I first made my prediction, it had exceeded $2 trillion. Now it is more than 11 trillion. This is a pyramid that can only collapse."

(snip)

He predicted that the U.S. will break up into six parts - the Pacific coast, with its growing Chinese population; the South, with its Hispanics; Texas, where independence movements are on the rise; the Atlantic coast, with its distinct and separate mentality; five of the poorer central states with their large Native American populations; and the northern states, where the influence from Canada is strong.

He even suggested that "we could claim Alaska - it was only granted on lease, after all." Panarin, 60, is a professor at the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and has authored several books on information warfare.

Well, Boston, San Francisco and Seattle can certainly go it alone if they wish.....

Only if they take the NY Times with them.

There is only one man who can stop the destruction of our Republic and his powers will be relinquished in January.

Well, they have been working for it for decades, with the willing help of the Socialist Democrats.

Now if only Russia could do something about their collapsing economy, shrinking population (except for muslims), rusting military, and rapid rise in AIDS infections...

As I posted on another thread:

There is a myth prevalent among ignorant Russians that it was on lease, but since the treaty is posted on line that is easy to disprove. I've even seen a .jpg of the check. Paid in full.

The real joke is talking about the U.S breaking up while Russia is dying. By their own demographic statistics every time three Russians are born four Russians die. Sooner or later Siberia will fall to the Red Chinese like a ripe fruit. The only question is, will the Red Chinese stop at the Urals, or will the occupy everything up to the Baltic.

Wave bye bye, Russia.

I predict Russia will break up in a few...wait, it already did. Bwahahahaha!

The Soviet Union broke up. Russia has not started its breakup yet. Watch Free Republic for exciting new developments in this area as they happen.

You had me, then you lost me when you mentioned the New York Times.

Was it mentioned in a reputable newspaper?

Mark Steyn has stated in his book “America Alone” that Russia is the only major military power with a Third World outcome. The life expectancy in men is falling, alcoholism is rampant, the average Russian woman has had as many as 7 abortions, the best and brightest are leaving, and Siberia—one of the richest areas for natural resources in the world—will soon be all but depopulated. The Chinese, as you stated, need only to walk across the border to occupy the area.

Demographics is history. The only major industrial power with a birth rate above 1.8—replacement value—is the US.

The population bomb is ticking. The only problem is that Europe, Russia and Asia are all in the cross-hairs.

The dollar is not secured by anything.

What about California?

OK, he is right, nobody would take it.

He is wrong about the break up, the unproductive states need the productive states to sponge off of. Reminds you of Obamaism, uh, Marxism.

Add New York City to that list.

Dissatisfaction is growing, and at the moment it is only being held back by the elections and the hope that Obama can work miracles.But by spring, it will be clear that there are no miracles."

He does have a point there..................
