' MOSCOW -- For a decade, Russian academic Igor Panarin has been predicting the U.S. will fall apart in 2010. For most of that time, he admits, few took his argument -- that an economic and moral collapse will trigger a civil war and the eventual breakup of the U.S. -- very seriously. Now he's found an eager audience: Russian state media...
..."There's a 55-45% chance right now that disintegration will occur," he says. "One could rejoice in that process," he adds, poker-faced. "But if we're talking reasonably, it's not the best scenario -- for Russia." Though Russia would become more powerful on the global stage, he says, its economy would suffer because it currently depends heavily on the dollar and on trade with the U.S.
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.
Around the end of June 2010, or early July, he says, the U.S. will break into six pieces -- with Alaska reverting to Russian control...
He based the forecast on classified data supplied to him by FAPSI analysts, he says. He predicts that economic, financial and demographic trends will provoke a political and social crisis in the U.S. When the going gets tough, he says, wealthier states will withhold funds from the federal government and effectively secede from the union. Social unrest up to and including a civil war will follow. The U.S. will then split along ethnic lines, and foreign powers will move in.
California will form the nucleus of what he calls "The Californian Republic," and will be part of China or under Chinese influence. Texas will be the heart of "The Texas Republic," a cluster of states that will go to Mexico or fall under Mexican influence. Washington, D.C., and New York will be part of an "Atlantic America" that may join the European Union. Canada will grab a group of Northern states Prof. Panarin calls "The Central North American Republic." Hawaii, he suggests, will be a protectorate of Japan or China, and Alaska will be subsumed into Russia.
"It would be reasonable for Russia to lay claim to Alaska; it was part of the Russian Empire for a long time." A framed satellite image of the Bering Strait that separates Alaska from Russia like a thread hangs from his office wall. "It's not there for no reason," he says with a sly grin.
Interest in his forecast revived this fall when he published an article in Izvestia, one of Russia's biggest national dailies. In it, he reiterated his theory, called U.S. foreign debt "a pyramid scheme," and predicted China and Russia would usurp Washington's role as a global financial regulator.
Americans hope President-elect Barack Obama "can work miracles," he wrote. "But when spring comes, it will be clear that there are no miracles." '

I think we have a bill of sale or something for Alaska. Lincoln's Secretary Seward purchased the land with some marbles, matchsticks, and cans of Kosher tuna. As for the rest, this gentleman is a known lunatic, and the Russians thought now would be a good time to trot him out from the insane asylum.

Ride down from Asgard to the battlefield,
Bringer of the valiant dead who died but never yielded,
Carry we who die in battle over land and sea,
Across the rainbow bridge to Valhalla,
Odin's waiting for me.

I looked at the guy's map. Alaska reverts to the Russians, Texas falls into Mexico's sphere of influence, Canada dominates the northern states, New England and Virginia happily joining into a new nation...yeah.
If the US broke up it would be along political not regional lines. I doubt there's a scenario that breaks up the US and still keeps red and blue states together.
And it would only be for a while...just long enough for Texas to lead a Red State Army to wipe out the liberals once and for all. Most of the military bases, manufacturing, and energy production are located in the Red States...not to mention domestic firearm ownership. All the Blue States have are screaming hordes of college professors, out of work union members, welfare cheats, and lesbians all led by Ted Kennedy, nothing a couple Southerners with a machine gun can't handle.

I'm with Chrismoorhead on this one.
If China tries to control California it will become a pacific empire of California. China is already under the control of Taiwan, because they took over Taiwan. I read an interesting piece in the People's Daily, an editorial from a Chinese economist begging the govt. not to invade Taiwan. He predicted that the net effect of China, a nation of 1.3 billion, would be taken over by Taiwan, a nation of 23 million, if it should try to turn it into a satellite state. His logic was straightforward, and mathematical. He said that Taiwan, which has been a capitalist nation for 150 years, has a solid understanding of the system, on the level of the Japanese, and already had more commerce than China. It would be a piece of cake for Taiwan, especially if allied with the City State of Hong Kong, with its eight million citizens to economically conquer the entire empire. Now Imagine trying to absorb California?
China will crumble, fragment into different states, Russia will falter, because it's trying the same soviet tactics that failed in the past. I see a future with a lot of independent states. My guess for the new world power will be India.

The machine gun remark left me scratchin my head a bit. Seems Southerners would be more likely to use high powered hunting rifles, and not so much machine guns.

Yeah, and Hero ain't anywhere near the South. Pretty much anything north of Oklahoma is a Yankee around these parts.
Course, I'll be one of the very few Southern Liberals who'll be standing right behind the deep-fried dipshit rednecks, happily shootin' 'em in the back. With a machine gun, of course. :)

I don't think that reads the way you intended it to read. China is nowhere near under the control of Taiwan. China regards Taiwan as its "wayward province" and its sole possession and property - not the other way 'round!
China WILL indeed take over Taiwan, but not until we get further into debt to China, deeper into arrears in our military spending and upkeep, and China decides it can take Taiwan without firing a shot. I said it ten years ago, and it's no less true today. China will own Taiwan once again without war or violence on either side, just as they did with Hong Kong.
