If you're inclined to believe Igor Panarin, and the Kremlin wouldn't mind if you did, then President Barack Obama will order martial law this year, the U.S. will split into six rump-states before 2011, and Russia and China will become the backbones of a new world order.
Panarin might be easy to ignore but for the fact that he is a dean at the Foreign Ministry's school for future diplomats and a regular on Russia's state-guided TV channels. And his predictions fit into the anti-American story line of the Kremlin leadership.
"There is a high probability that the collapse of the United States will occur by 2010," Panarin told dozens of students, professors and diplomats Tuesday at the Diplomatic Academy — a lecture the ministry pointedly invited The Associated Press and other foreign media to attend. - ABC News Story
If you think that this is a totally off the wall thought, you would be wrong. Many points that Igor Panarin makes has been echoed from many around the world. There is great Concern about the amount of debt that the United States is creating and the likelihood that we will tumble with inflation. Many Countries have invested heavily in the US over the last several decades, and now face financial ruin as well if we falter.
I don't think that we are in quite the position that is painted here, but I also don't think that this Spending is going to get us out. There is too much money going to the wrong places.
