Interesting...in my religion ("Mormon" LDS) we believe the USA will collapse---someday. And that there will be Civil War II. So this isn't surprising to us...we're not saying it's going to happen next year though. LOL Just that it will happen someday.

I'm not saying this Russian "scholar" is right, just that this does fall into our beliefs...just a little bit. :o

Russian Economist Predicts US Civil War in 2009 — Total Collapse Before 2011

MOSCOW (AP) - 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.

The prediction from Panarin, a former spokesman for Russia's Federal Space Agency and reportedly an ex-KGB analyst, meshes with the negative view of the U.S. that has been flowing from the Kremlin in recent years, in particular from Vladimir Putin.

So now you're saying that the Mormons agree with the USSR and Putin.

Comrade Regis!

I've been certain we'll see a second civil war for a while now. I've stated such here a while ago.

Scholar? Former space agency mouthpiece and possible KGB agent? He's got way too broad a brush for me to take his economic stance too seriously.
