The Professor said that until recently nobody took him seriously, about his predictions. Now they are listening.
Professor Panarin says the economic and moral collapse the United States will trigger a Civil War that will end the union between states. The new independent states will realign themselves with foreign countries like Canada, Mexico, China, Japan, Russia and the European Union. Of course, the Russians will get Alaska. Well they the Russians can see it when they look out the window. I wonder if they can see Sarah waving at them.

The professor provides us with a map of the new AMERIKA.
The map is color-coded; I like that because I am an Artist. I like color. I like visual props it helps me understand information that is hard to imagine. Now I see the professor’s point his theory.

To tell you the truth I am having a hard time with Igor’s theory.
First, he realigns California and Arizona with China, well they would go with Mexico don’t ya think, at least Southern California.
Then he only gives Hawaii to Japan. I think that Japan would for sure get more states especially where they have manufacturing plants like WV, LA, ALA, GA, KY, TENN, SC, and NC.
I would remove New Mexico from Mexico because the Aliens have already claimed them along with Nevada, so China looses one too.
Then there is the question of the Canadian section. I really think they will negotiate with Mexico over Arizona because there are more Canadians there than Mexicans. Florida too will surely go to Canada.
Now I wonder about Minnesota as most of you do anyway. But Wisconsin; no way will we give up the Packers to the Canadian league.
And those states he gives to the European Union, Nah I just don’t see New Hampshire or Vermont going that way let alone New York and New Jersey, they are well you know, it is a defiant NO!
As for the Western, Rocky Mountain States, NOPE I just don’t see it. In fact, I just don’t see it at all with any of the states. Sure, we all have our opinions and we all have our differences, that is the strength of America.
Here in Montana we argue and debate all the time, but I can guarantee if trouble comes we will all stand up together and face trouble head on. Look at our Military they are not Californians or Republicans or Mexican Americans, they are Americans period and so are we all.

Now to tell the truth things are bad in America with the economy right now.
But we all know we will come through this, better and stronger and just maybe smarter. Our Parents and Grand Parents did. And remember this Professor the world tested America in the 1940’s because some people thought we Americans were to weak to over come the Great Depression. But history is the definitive answer to that test.

And let’s talk about art.This is an Art Blog.
Modern Art owes its birth to the hard times of the past, the wars the depression. The artists and other creative thinkers were inspired and created a new world of intellectual ideas and art from their experience of the hard times.
Yes, the economy is hard it is scary and uncertain. However, the real deal the real important things are and will remain the same throughout this test, so be grateful, and be fearless. Change has come to America embrace it, welcome it and ask yourself what kind of America you want in 2009 and 2010. We need to stand up together and fix what needs fixing and move forward as One Nation. And if those who would see us fail want to test us when we are struggling, well so be it. I for one don’t think it will work out to well for them.
As for Russia taking control of Alaska Professor I don’t think Sarah is waving at you, look harder I think she just has one finger up.
I made my own map, I think it is better than Igor’s

Soviet Union and Russia has had a number of clueless and audacious professors. Panarin is clearly one of them.
Having lived in Soviet Union, Russia, Georgia and the USA, I can tell with confidence that disintegration of Soviet Union was a matter of time. I grew up in Soviet Union. I was 19, when USSR fell apart (I am happy it did). After the disintegration, I lived in Georgia for 6 years and in Russia for 2 years. For the last 10 years I have lived in the USA.
Minorities, such as Georgians, Azeris, Ukrainians, Lithuanians, Latvians, and Estonians disliked or hated Moscow dominated rule based on violence and intimidation of smaller republics. In addition, there was a significan degree of interethnic mistrust and even anymosity. Anybody who served in the Soviet Army will testify that any military base was informally divided to 5 or more groups, based on ethnic origin: Ukrianian (particularly central and western), Middle Asian (Kazakh, Uzbek, Turkmen, Kyrgyz, Tajik), South Caucasian (Georgian, Azeri, Armenian), North Caucasian (Chechens, Ingushian, Daghestanian, Kabardian), Baltic (Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian), and Russian. Different ethnic groups fought on a regular basis. Occasionally abuse led to large-scale violence among the groups.
Having friends in Russia and closely monitoring news from Russia, it seems very obvious that interethnic clashes intensified since Russia succeeded USSR. Racial discrimination and hatred crimes are more widespread in Russia. Russian citizens of North Caucasian origin are disenfranchized in their own autonomous republics and in the rest of Russia. In addition they along with Middle Asians are increasingly targeted by Nazi groups. Modern Russia has more preconditions for internal implosion, collapse and disintegration than any other country in the world.
All of the above is completely different from the situation in the US, unless one judges the latter based on some outdated American action movies describing prison life.
Shortcomings of American Federal government does not come close to some of Kremlin policies, such as “propiska” (registration) policy within Moscow. If you are a Russian citizen from anywhere beyond Moscow, you are allowed to stay in Moscow for 48 hours only. The policy is well-enforced in Moscow. Any police officer in Moscow is allowed to check your ID without any reason and your ID must demonstrate that you are registered in Moscow or you must demonstrate that have arrived to Moscow within 48 hours.
As a Georgian American who lived in Russia and the US, I am positive that Americans who share power with all racial, ethnic, and religious groups, who elected the first African American president, who have largely eliminated any kind of discrimination, who have no problems migrating and settling all over the US will never consider or allow disintegration of my second homeland, the United States of America.
Having said this, I would like to emphasize that Kremlin’s wishfull thinking and its illegal/immoral actions within Russia and beyond may not be ignored and must be taken seriously. Americans should not blame self for Russia’s collapse, its crimes in Chechnya, its invasion of Georgia, its nuclear threats to Eastern Europe, or its support of Iran’s nuclear ambitions. However, Americans should not engage in wishful thinking assuming that the Russian threat does not exist or will dissolve itself. The West has to be serios about Russia and deal with it, not avoid it or cave in to Russian blackmail.
