Russian scholar says US will collapse next year (Martial Law, Six-Way Split, etc.)

[Salamander]

Once *again* Maryland will be an “occupied” state.

Damn it all to hell and back.

"Panarin didn't give many specifics on what underlies his analysis, mostly citing newspapers, magazines and other open sources."

I see the problem - he has no facts with which to make these predictions.

[durasell]

I’ve got a headline for you:

RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA SEEN IN DECLINE, PUTIN VOWS RETURN TO COLD WAR LEVELS AND QUALITY

[Salvey]

I have faith in a massive revolt in the electorate taking place before a less peaceful revolt is necessary.

I'm not so sure I can wait for the electoral revolt.

[NavVet]

“Once again...” Maryland has never stopped being occupied.

[uglybiker]

San Francisco is a rump city.

Home of the Rump Rangers

Their motto:
One Rump. One Ranger.

[Gaffer]

The San Fransissy Rump Ranger Militia?

[indiana_gop]

and Alaska will revert to Russian control

Sarah Palin will not let that happen. She'd take them on herself, and she's got the weapons to do it.

[Flavius]

Somene seeks to be bitter about That whole union collapse

[oiler]

“Time to move to Texas?”

Yes, I think so. First, we will need to clean out the trash in Austin.

[saganite]

Bawney Fwank will be the ruler of the North East rump state.;^)

[Hardastarboard]

it is more likely that the US will get rid of Obama than break-up.

Unfortunately, there's no formal legal way for Americans to rid ourselves of an incompetent leader other than impeachment, which was intended as a remedy for illegal behavior and not incompetence.

“...but it is more likely that the US will get rid of Obama than break-up.”

Agreed.

“I have faith in a massive revolt in the electorate taking place before a less peaceful revolt is necessary.”

I have no such faith, but I have HOPE that a massive revolt of the electorate will negate the need for a less peaceful revolt.

[KoRn]

"If we could get rid of California, New York, Massachusetts and a few other liberal hell-holes, it sounds good to me!"

Very true. If we could tell just a handful of big liberal states to piss off, or maybe only a few cities, our country would get along just fine going forward. We'll even let them keep their wannabe president.

[gogogodzilla]

I thought San Francisco’s slogan was:

One Rump, many Rangers.

[Cronos]

I think according to Igor, Texas reverts to Mexico...

[Cronos]

Yes, Rump-states as in states remaining after a great one has fallen — just like after the Hittite Empire collapsed in 1200 BC, you had rump states like the Lydians etc. arising as post-Hittite kingdoms

[durasell]

Yeah great idea — cut loose of America’s economic engine, deep water ports, centers of hi-tech research, and premier universities.

[Cronos]

you’re right — an alliance of democracies, with a preference for the Anglosphere would consist of the US, Canada (I know, I know), Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Israel, India, Japan, the Philippines, Poland, Italy, maybe Nigeria/South Africa/Tanzania and, of course, I forgot, Singapore HAS to be a part of this alliance
