The Demise of the United States?

A Russian scholar is predicting that the United States will collapse by 2011, dividing into six new countries, with Alaska reverting back to Russia. This is nothing new. Russians have been anticipating the demise of the U.S. for decades, but what's significant now is that they've given it a date.

Personally, I think it's possible, given the present state of he economy and the bone-headed "solutions" that the nut-cases in power are proposing and implementing. However, it's highly unlikely since we are a more unified nation than they give us credit for, among other reasons. Russia, on the other hand, is closer to collapsing than we are, and this so-called "scholar" has been more wrong than right. Still, it would be interesting to have your thoughts on the subject.

I think that plan requires the populace to be completely complacent. They've convinced themselves that people are stupid and that will be their downfall. We've fallen so far so fast that it's increasingly obvious to more and more people, even those who voted for Obama. We will not go quietly into the night, Americans are not as sheepish as they thought. We'll slow it down in 2010, then repair it in 2012.
