Crazy(?) Russian Professor Predicts the United States Will Disintegrate in 2010

POSTED BY: Mary Phillips-Sandy


Igor Panarin, a prominent Russian academic, has spent the past decade telling anyone who'd listen that the United States will collapse in 2010. For the better part of a decade, most people did not listen.

But now, as the American economy does its best imitation of the end times, Russians are starting to wonder if Panarin may be on to something….

"There's a 55-45% chance right now that disintegration will occur," [Panarin] 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.

Maybe it's worth it, then, if they take Sarah Palin off our hands.

  1. That's right D ! Texas needs no other states in her union, we are good to go should the need arise!

  2. First of all in Texas we don’t want you other states, just give us our Original Territorial Boundaries and return the land the U.S. took from us in 1845. The sons of the defenders of the Alamo have our reputations to maintain the rest of you have to prove yourself first before we ally with you. As for Mexico, we beat the crap out of them in 1835 and we will do'er again!!! REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!!!!

    Laugh if you want but this is more likely to happen than what that Commie Pig is spouting.

  3. Alaska is already becoming "The Forbidden Zone."

  4. And the good news is … Alaska reverts to Russia! Let's assume Madame Gov. (Grandmaw) Palin will read about this in one of the many newspapers and periodicals she reads, so that she's actually ready when Putin rears his head. Or not. I don't care, so long as she stays where she is. Let some poor Russian translator deal with her confused syntax. Russian school children could learn English sentence structure by attempting to diagram her sentences. (So could our own students, for that matter. Let it be a challenge to them.)

  5. "I don't know the word for six districts…"

    Sextricklets.

  6. It's for the best, really. That way, the US will look a lot more like the Risk board, and I won't be so confused, geographically speaking.

  7. Whoops, I thought it broke into four pieces…

    It seems that some sextrants are more equal than others.

    I don't know the word for six districts…

  8. It seems some quadrants of the country are more equal than others.

    by Cube December 29th at 9:45PM
  9. I dont think that will happen at all. I am more of a believer of the New World Order.

  10. Americans are too damn lazy for civil war. Seriously. That would require things like: going outside, interacting with neighbors, exercising, and having passion about something other than themselves.

    When the second civil war comes, it will be nothing more than a massively multiplayer online game.
