Yeah, just keep talking, russkie. The way your demographics are going, you’ll be owned by muslims before any fracturing the USA takes place.

"with Alaska reverting to Russian control." I don't think so!

Russian Professor Predicts End of U.S.

Looks like a headline from a 1958 issue of Popular Mechanics.

The end of the United States has been imminent ever since I was a boy in the 1970s when disco was popular and Jimmy Carter was president. I suppose it will happen eventually as all good things must come to an end. I wouldn’t hold my breath though.

In Igor Panarin’s dreams. Wonder if he believes in Global Warming? Or the Tooth fairy?

Igor was teenage doofus when I predicted the end to the Soviet Union while stationed in Leningrad in ‘75.

I think his analysis is interesting. He’s an informed outsider which what many Americans pretend to be about the rest of the world.

He is basing his fantasy on the actual break-up of the Soviet Union - a totally different creature. The nations that were the spoils of WII, and subsumed by Russia -retained their ethnic identities and (with Yeltsin’s winks & nods)reclaimed their sovereign rights.

The USA is not a collection of nations, but is ONE NATION. We may be contrary - but we are not suicidal. When push comes to shove - we are always Americans first.

Mr. Panarin posits, in brief, that mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation will trigger a civil war next fall and the collapse of the dollar

Well the 1st half is right. All of that will trigger something, but few in this country have the balls for even modest civil disobedience, let alone a full scale war.

As I see it, America is going to be declining into 3rd world status.
Mass immigration alone will do that, and the moral degradation has reached right through much of the government.

Socialism in many states has reached unity, with little left until outright socialism/communism is the reality.
Most of higher education is a joke and is little more than leftist propaganda centers masquerading as education itself.

civil war? Apart from the few, who among you is ready to fight an organized civil war with no allies, no help, and against the government and the types who run much of it?

Bow to your masters

EVEVTUALLY, the US will come to an end, of course. Probably not for a good while, though. Near-term, the most likely loss would be that of the Southwest to Mexico. THAT could happen in my lifetime!

“but few in this country have the balls for even modest civil disobedience, let alone a full scale war”

Was this based on self examination, or did you take a survey.

“Bow to your masters”

Have one master, don’t need another.

The US is France/England in slow motion. SS going bankrupt and Muslims taking over sections of numerous states will certainly happen and raise tensions very high. But as long as Democrats can vote for free money, and no Voter ID cards are required, nothing can stop the cycle.

With Obama in the white house and communist democrats running congress. May not be a bad prediction. I say odds are about 3 to 2.

LOL! Common sense. Ping me when the patriotic armed rebellion begins.
I choose not to hold my breath.

This country is to homogeneous, with four lane highways crossing every border of every state, it is hard to tell which state you are in at times. There is much more difference between any other country than ever is between states, I just don’t see it.

The Former Soviet Union is the exact opposite, with poor communications and harsh cultural differences within even Russia. The US has many ethnic groups, but really only one culture. Not even comparable and I think that is where his analysis fails.
