Title: Russian Analyst: 'The US will break up into 6 parts'
Post by: megimoo on November 26, 2008, 08:28:04 AM
To lighten the doom and gloom we've all been reading these past few weeks, here's some unintended comedy from "one of the leading" Russian political analysts.

Professor Igor Panarin is not only predicting a collapse of the US economy but a break up of the United States into 6 parts. He predicts a catastrophe:

Asked why he expected the U.S. to break up into separate parts, he said: "A whole range of reasons. Firstly, the financial problems in the U.S. will get worse. Millions of citizens there have lost their savings. Prices and unemployment are on the rise. General Motors and Ford are on the verge of collapse, and this means that whole cities will be left without work. Governors are already insistently demanding money from the federal center. 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 also cited the "vulnerable political setup", "lack of unified national laws", and "divisions among the elite, which have become clear in these crisis conditions."


It gets better:



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


As Drudge writes at the end of these "breaking news" stories -

The only downside is that my blessed Texas will have a population of 175,000,000.  The upside is none of them will be illegal leeches.

We would have to put out citizenship like a lottery type thing and control our population carefully.  We could only allow in so many at a time.  We can make it work!   :-)

United we stand.   Divided we fall.

We break up like this -- that Russia that the msm and Tina Fey made fun of Palin about will plow through here like rats through cheese -- that is of course after they rest a few day from taking over Canada.

I assume half-Texans will be immediately eligible for citizenship?

We'll need a border fence.  A L-O-N-G border fence.  

I am inclined to believe Oklahoma and Louisiana will choose to be a part of The Sane Republic Of Texas.

If that happens we'll have to change the cover on our passport.  Any ideas?

Naw, the rest of the country would just funnel them to California and that is where we would keep 'em.

We would obviously need to provide a period of amnesty for wayward Texans.  Miss the deadline and you can go pound sand though!

Of course, this would exclude all hot chicks.  Amnesty would last forever for hot chicks.   :naughty:   :uhsure:

We may be able to work something out on that as well.  Again, we'll have to have a time frame.  I'll talk to President Hutchison and get back to you on that.

Vice President Hupp may have some input as well.

No.  A lot of folks were born in Texas who aren't Texans at heart.  Carol Burnett wouldn't even make the grade.

One would think I could apply for some sort of hardship or refugee status given the concentration of libtards I've had to deal with, living in CA and NH (not as bad as CA, but still a significant number of moonbats.)

No.  I know from where your desire comes, but let's face it, we are in no short supply of Hot Chicks who naturally qualify.  We don't need to dilute our sanity with insane women just because they are "hot".  It's a path to ruin and you know it.

just give them extra points for hawtness... but not enough to qualify just on those grounds

The South with it's large population of Hispanics? Does this fool not know there are more Hispanics in California than Chinese? More Hispanics in Texas than most of the southern states combined? I do predict a breakup. However, I believe many of the red states will form a union with a centralized government only there to provide for common defense and regulating interstate commerce. All other issues would be left up to the states. Damn, that sounds familiar.

As for the rest of the country, I predict they'll fail in due time when they immediately implement Socialism.

After they're done failing, can we please invade, force the inhabitants out, and colonize the areas?  The people can go, but I'll take the syrup from Vermont, and we really need Hawaii as a place to just chill out...

Dude, drive in NYC for a few days, it will make DC seem like rural Minnesota.  In DC the traffic forms actual lanes, no matter how badly people drive in them.  In NYC the lane markers are painted on the road mainly to show a general alignment to follow, on the rare occasions when you can glimpse one.
