Professor Igor Panarin, a leading Russian political analyst, has said the economic turmoil in the United States has confirmed his long-held view that the country is heading for collapse, and will divide into separate parts. If you don't mind plodding through the computer-generated translation, you can view the original Izvestia article. Otherwise, Global Futures offers an overview.
Leaving the obvious propaganda aside, if nothing else this is one more analysis that supports the regional implosion and constituency determination of North America as opposed to the breaking away of individual states and provinces. It is a position that was presented at the recent North American Secessionist Convention: Post-Peak Oil and NAmerican Regional Secession.
Professor Panarin, of course, neatly side-steps the further fragmentation of Russia as an industrial nation state in a Post-Peak Oil world.
