Russian scholar says US will collapse — next year

AP MOSCOW – If you're inclined to believe Igor Panarin, and the Kremlin wouldn't mind if you did, then President Barack Obama will order martial law this year, the U.S. will split into six rump-states before 2011, and Russia and China will become the backbones of a new world order.

Panarin might be easy to ignore but for the fact that he is a dean at the Foreign Ministry's school for future diplomats and a regular on Russia's state-guided TV channels. And his predictions fit into the anti-American story line of the Kremlin leadership.

"There is a high probability that the collapse of the United States will occur by 2010," Panarin told dozens of students, professors and diplomats Tuesday at the Diplomatic Academy — a lecture the ministry pointedly invited The Associated Press and other foreign media to attend.

I wouldn't be surprised! Obama is tearing the country apart at a record speed. OTOH, it might not be such a bad thing... I'm in SC, I wonder what fragment I'll be in. I could sure do without them blue states!

Next year might be pushing it. I’d give him until 2011.

"US will collapse — next year"

Yeah, that sounds about right. Give a year or two.

I hope Indiana (at least the southern half) aligns itself with the Southern states.

I'd definitely have to abandon the state if we got lumped in with Michigan and Illinois.

> Obama will order martial law

I'd wager a good amount of the little money I have left that a big chunk of the military's brass (let alone the enlisted) will not go along with this.

“I’d wager a good amount of the little money I have left that a big chunk of the military’s brass (let alone the enlisted) will not go along with this.”

That’s a safe bet. Safer than betting on social security.

Obama is drilling holes in the hull of the listing USS America just as fast as he can, to drain the water out.

Flashback, anyone remember the article in the Jerusalem times during the primaries Biden addressed a fund raiser where he made a statement that a created crisis will emerge, they will have to institute marshal law and this will be very unpopular with the masses and they may have to reach out to local politicians and community organizers for help in controlling the situation. Its coming.

Our search function is incapable of searching a whole title.

Sure, it will tell you it is, but it works far better with a few less common words from a title...

A break up would be great and the free country created in the aftermath would smoke those Russian retards and their comrades in Washington DC.

All of the lazy filthy scumbag HUSSEIN supporters can join together in a big socialist state and ally with the chicoms and ruskies, we'll clean their clock.

The system that works for me is to search on the most uncommon single word in a title. E.g., for this thread --"scholar" or "collapse".

The idiot who made this prediction says that the southeastern US from North Carolina to Arizona will be taken over by Mexico and that the north central US will be taken over by Canada and that Alaska will “revert” to Russia. The guy is delusional.

Now WHY would the Socialist Democrats want to do that? WHY are things going to hell in a handbasket ever since Nancy Pelosi and crew took over the government? Things seemed pretty good before that. You see, the MSM was bent on brainwashing hatred of “Bush” so the “intelligentsia” could take over. Then someone began to coordinate the downfall of the world’s economy. WHY? The election of “the first African-American” seemed to be at the center of it. WHY was Obama so involved with Raila Odinga’s campaign? WHY?

Michigan isn't too bad as long as the cesspool known as Detroit is separated from the rest of the state with a moat.

Anything east of the Hudson River for one, anything west of the Sierras for another, Hawaii to the Japanese, Alaska on its own; South Florida on its own; the rest could probably stick together if the urban areas were cleaned up.

agreed. the crazy thing is I no longer regard this as impossible. There has been a stealth coup in the US government, and along with a collapse of the financial system, the two could certainly cause some serious unrest.
