U.S. to split by 2010? Russian analyst thinks so

[dejr_8]

Do you think this could happen? I think so but not to the same extent nor in this time period.

But 50 years from now could the US split into two or three countries, I would say yes.

For seriously predicting that the United States will break into six parts in June or July of 2010, Igor Panarin has suddenly become a Russian state-media celebrity. Hardly a day goes by without another interview or two for the KGB-trained, Kremlin-backed senior analyst. The clamor in Russia for his ideas is growing, he says.

Panarin's disintegration divination comes complete with a map. In it, Alaska goes to Russia. Hawaii goes to Japan or China. "The California Republic" — the West from Utah and Arizona to the Pacific — goes to China. "The Texas Republic" — the South from New Mexico to Florida — goes to Mexico. "Atlantic America" — the Northeast from Tennessee and South Carolina up to Maine — joins the European Union. And "The Central North-American Republic" — the Plains from Ohio to Montana — goes to Canada.

Few Americans paid any attention to his novel views until this week, when the Wall Street Journal trumpeted them on Page 1. Within hours, the U.S. media began the counterattack.

Break into six parts within the next 18 months. Ummmm....no.

 

[angelmav]

China allowing mexico, canada, the EU or Russia to have any of it for themselves? Doubtful.

 

[Planogirl]

So no more United States? Personally, I'd prefer if Texas could just split off and become independent again. We could take Oklahoma and Arkansas if they're interested. And Louisiana maybe.

 

[CathrynRose]

Wait - where will I belong to? I'm in Illinois.

Im going to get Rosetta Stone and be prepared for this take over.

Wow. At first I was expecting it to say we would separate into our own countries, not become part of other countries. Nope I don't see that happening. I could see us eventually splitting into two countries if anything, but that even seems doubtful. Our country has fought too hard for too long to just give up and be taken over by other countries.

I once read an article about how a democracy can not be sustained for more than 250 years due to greedy politicians. Everyone has their hand in the pot. I'm beginning to see the author's point!

. Our country has fought too hard for too long to just give up and be taken over by other countries.

ITA.

the Plains from Ohio to Montana — goes to Canada.

Hahahahahahahahaha! That's right, *makes scary claw like hands and uses a deep voice* BEWARE OF CANADA!!!!

With Louisiana, we could join OPEC and be very, very rich!

 

[rascalmom]

Evidently, someone doesn't have a lot of confidence in Mr. Obama's abilities!

As for that Oklahoma/Texas/Louisiana/Arkansas thing - we would have to be called the Sooner Nation!

 

[*Fantasia*]

Wait - where will I belong to? I'm in Illinois.

I think you and I (I'm in Michigan) will be Canadians.

"The Central North-American Republic" — the Plains from Ohio to Montana — goes to Canada.

One should try not confusing his/her desires (and hatred of America, in some cases their OWN America) with stark reality.

 

[CathrynRose]

I dont wanna be a Canadian.

 

[ArelysAdriana]

Well, I guess its a good thing I'm already a Mexican living in Florida. I'll have the upper hand during the take over.

 

[JARNJ3]

I could handle living in the European Union - universal health care for all! (and please no comments from the peanut gallery telling me to move there then - I happen to love NJ and the USA warts and all........)

Though I'd most likely be dead by then........

Hey, wait a minute.

The area around Texarkana is already called Arklatex so maybe we could work Oklahoma in there too somehow?

This thing with the US breaking up is funny. I can see it someday maybe but not so soon and not all going to other nations.

I don't think his analysis had anything to do with Obama's abilities, good or bad.

Amen! "If at first you don't secede, try try again!"

Do you think we can get New Zealand to take a chunk of the US? I'd like to belong to them if we have to split.
The whole thing is nonsense. These is no way we will be split like that in 18 months. For all our in-fighting, Americans would band together and put up one **** of a fight before we gave any part of us away, especially to Russia or China!
