ImWithStupid Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Does anyone really buy into this? A Disintegrating U.S.? Critics Come Unglued Russian's Prediction Spurs Celebrity, Scorn. By Joel Garreau Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, January 3, 2009; 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.washingtonpost.com I guess I better quit giving emkay crap about being Canadian. I may be one in a few years myself. Quote

Old Salt Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Mexico would claim everything from Texas west and the border north halfway up the US. Quote

RegisteredAndEducated Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I don't buy it either. There's no way any part of the US would belong to China or Japan or Canada or Mexico or Europe. Not gonna happen, no way, no how. The citizens would be the ultimate end to this idea. Quote Intelligent people think... how ignorance must be bliss.... idiots have it so easy, it's not fair... to have to think... WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO BE AMONG THOSE FORTUNATE MASSES..... Hey, "Non-believers" I've just got one thing to say to ya... If you're right, then what difference does it make, it wont matter when we're dead anyway... But if I'm right... Well, hey... Ya better be right...
Chi Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Mexico would claim everything from Texas west and the border north halfway up the US. You mean Mexico would claim all of that land BACK:cool: Quote

It was just a joke. The govt in Mexico is so much more corrupt and mismanaged, it would of course be a bad idea. It would also only make it easier and give the drug cartels that much more power.

Why advertise, people might actually be against it if they did. Quote

I will formally retract my statement concerning your willingness to learn French, but the comment about being off your meds stands as posted. After all, I'm part Hispanic.

RoyalOrleans Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 We need to do ourselves, and our southern neighbor, a favor and end the drug war. And one of the many benefits of the United States stepping in to end the Drug War; industry would be redeemed in Mexico bringing the migrant (illegals) here back to their native land.

Yeah... restraining orders sworn out in the US are probably null and void in Canada. Quote To be the Man, you've got to beat the Man. - Ric Flair Everybody knows I'm known for dropping science.
Ahhlee Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I live 30 minutes from the border, so I'm practically Canadian anyway. But I love Latin men. Hmmm.....such troubles. Quote
