This is a fun little WSJ article detailing the beliefs of a Russian Foreign Ministry analyst, and former KGB man. U.S. going to pieces in a year or two? Would call shenanigans but the article portrays him as a fairly mainstream dude, and just shows how crazy some perspectives are. Wonder if he's got the ear of this guy:

being all ex-KGB and all.

LOL! That was pretty entertaining to read. The Texas Republic under the control or influence of Mexico. Preposterous. Even if the scenario were to happen with a civil war breaking apart the United States, I don't believe that it would result in sections of the country falling under the influence or control of other countries.

We had a great laugh at the graphic today in ops... 'cause I'm *sure* that Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina and West Va. will all want to join the EU... :rolleyes:

At least all those Air National Guard guys down here will still have a job flying for their home Republics.

Holy crap, this is hilarious. Alabama/Mississippi would join Mexico, W. Va and the Carolina's to the EU? This guy has obviously never set foot in the US, and knows nothing of the red blooded American Redneck.

If there's every any kind of American civil war again, it'll be rural vs urban. No clean lines to divide on a map a la 1861, just isolated population centers in the middle of big swaths of rural america. This guy is off his rocker.

haha, i'm not saying i'm loading up the guns to shoot them damn city dwellers when they get outta line.

I'm saying his thought that clean lines would define a future american dissolution is foolish. our country doesn't break down along state lines any more; the divide (if there is one as drastic as the media would make it out to be) is between rural and urban.

I'll put the tin foil hat back in the closet, for now, flash.
