<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Shattered America?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/54.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Shattered America? RT and other world news shows. And on the RT it showed this Russian economist that said in the year 2010 that America will shatter into parts, states like DC,Florida and New York among others would become part of the EU, Alaska would go back to Russia, Texas and others near it would become its own nation and Michigan, Wisconsin and the like would most likely goto Canada.

I just wanted to ask, what the hell? You off topic folk seem to be some rather smart people and wondered where this guy would of came up with this?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1097267.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1097267.page GMT Re:Shattered America?

Despite the continuous bitching that goes on, there's no chance of the USA splitting up on that kind of schedule.

Who the hell wants to join up with Russia? It's a craphole.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1097279.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1097279.page GMT Re:Shattered America? Thanks for the speedy responses!

Every four years people act like America is going to split into Red vs Blue, but it never does (except for that one time ).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1097291.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1097291.page GMT Shattered America? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1097298.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1097298.page GMT Shattered America? NH has had a secession bill on the ballot since the sixties..

Several other states also have secession bills in their statehouses as well.

Pretty sure that's where the rusky got it from..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1097303.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1097303.page GMT Shattered America? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1097357.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1097357.page GMT Shattered America?
dogma wrote:That's actually been a Russian prediction since during the Cold War. There are even some controversial European economists, historians, and political scientists who predict that the United States will either go through another civil war, or split into multiple nations. Though I can't think of anyone even semi-reputable putting out 2010 as a number.
When was this prediction? I could see a Soviet predicting America's fall in 2010, if he made the prediction in the 1970s or something.

In the 80's, after the fall of the curtain.

It was Blue vs Grey technically, but no, that kind of split won't happen. If there was ambiguity between states, I could see that, but there is none of that.

Except for Texas. Those folks are crazy and I would never go there without a gun and a bag of bbq ribs to toss at them as they chase me.

EU. America hasn't been divided from the 18th century. The worst that can come over it is the states closing up a bit between each other, but otherwise they will always have a national government.

For the guy who mentioned ninja-cyborg-mecha-samurai-jap-hype RIFTs, thats plain dumb. Disregarding the physical impossiblity or technical feastability of having a 30-foot human-formed mecha weilding swords and jumping around doing karate kicks, how's divided, balkanized states gonna get the money to make 'em?

Isnt that most states tho? I know Michigan is pretty much summed up like that was well (even the -40 coldness) Shoot we even had pretty lean gun laws until a few years ago. Now people actually have to register those pesky things.
So if I we can figure out how to get our states to move further south with Texas, we can all hang, AND itll be warmer for us lol]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1098210.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1098210.page GMT Shattered America?
You are a humanitarian internationalist. You're convinced mankind will terminate America—but at least we won't off ourselves in the process. You'll know you're right when: Everyone on Earth pledges allegiance to a world government; the feds default on the national debt.

I'm thinking the second scenario there is more likely.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1098269.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1098269.page GMT Shattered America? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1098712.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264366/1098712.page GMT Shattered America?
