RUSSIAN ANALYST PREDICTS DECLINE AND BREAKUP OF USA

[rambone]

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.

Not sure about the assumptions of these demographics...

I wonder if this turd saw his precious USSR fall ahead of time?

ZOMBIE THREAD!

Somebody shoot it in the head!

 

[eatsnopaste]

yeah, yeah...we will bury you...(start banging shoe now)

 

[Thumper]

Wake up people.

My prediction..... come for Alaska, and we'll put your heads on pikes along the shoreline, just as a reminder to all others who might be so inclined.... and we will broadcast it on CNN - they will be there before the first pike goes into the soil

I personally think it's time for us to go on the hunt again. Start claiming some areas as ours and kicking out the despots!

Lowers unemployment and stimulates the economy. War truly is what saved the new deal. Just think we would double the Armed Forces, which would mean lots of extra vehicles (Merry Christmas GM and Chrysler and what the heck the may even let Ford in too.) Guns, Ammo (only downside we would have a real shortage for a while), planes, and ships don't forget them. That should be enough manufacturing to help turn the economy around.

I just don't think the current administration has enough :bigballs:

Approximately 90% of the Canadian population lives within 150 miles of the US border. It would be a SOB to have that long of a front, but it would take < a week to occupy most of their major cities.

Follow Hitler's example. Divide and conquer.

What has Iraq and Afghanistan done for the economy? It's not like the old days where there was mass labor needed to build military equipment. Everybody stopped building cars and pianos and stuff to build tanks and planes and whatnot. Those days are long gone, since the advent of robotics and computer controlled manufacturing.

We're just not setting our sights BIG ENOUGH. One or two little rat infested corners and we just use supplies on hand. All of South America... and NOW we're talking!

"Zombie thread" That's funny! Some of them are worth re-visiting

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.

I think he needs to stick to political ramblings, since history ain't his thing. I guess he's never read on a little thing that was called Seward's Folly back a while ago...

The looming U.S. Civil War delayed the sale, but after the war, Secretary of State William Seward quickly took up a renewed Russian offer and on March 30, 1867, agreed to a proposal from Russian Minister in Washington, Edouard de Stoeckl, to purchase Alaska for $7.2 million.

Purchase of Alaska, 1867

 

[mettle]

Sounds like Texas is the place for us!

Is Russia actually considering "claiming Alaska" ?? This is a bit alarming. I was hoping to live there someday...
