Back in late 2008, Russian scholar Igor Panarin made waves when he predicted the United States would collapse by 2010. From the WSJ:
"California will form the nucleus of what he calls "The Californian Republic," and will be part of China or under Chinese influence. Texas will be the heart of "The Texas Republic," a cluster of states that will go to Mexico or fall under Mexican influence. Washington, D.C., and New York will be part of an "Atlantic America" that may join the European Union. Canada will grab a group of Northern states Prof. Panarin calls "The Central North American Republic." Hawaii, he suggests, will be a protectorate of Japan or China, and Alaska will be subsumed into Russia."
A recent DailyKos poll lends some credibility to Panarin's hypothesis. From MSNBC's First Read:
"A healthy minority of Texans -- as well as a majority of Texas Republicans -- say they want to secede from the union. According to a new DailyKos/Research 2000 poll, 37% of Texans and 51% of Lone Star Republicans agree with Gov. Rick Perry’s recent suggestion that Texas may need to leave the United States."
What's in store for California?

I wonder how a poll like that would look if done in Cali.
ReplyDeletehmmmm.....a bit extreme, but I am down. I think ill be with the central north American republic. As long as we give the canadian police some decent weapons. Otherwise we would haveto take the country by force out of sheer principle.
