어제일자 WSJ에 끝내주는 기사가 올라왔는데, 루리웹에도 올라왔고 해서 소개해 보겠습니다. 으하하하하하하...

"For a decade, Russian academic Igor Panarin has been predicting the U.S. will fall apart in 2010. For most of that time, he admits, few took his argument -- that an economic and moral collapse will trigger a civil war and the eventual breakup of the U.S. -- very seriously. Now he's found an eager audience: Russian state media."

"Prof. Panarin, 50 years old, is not a fringe figure. A former KGB analyst, he is dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry's academy for future diplomats. He is invited to Kremlin receptions, lectures students, publishes books, and appears in the media as an expert on U.S.-Russia relations."

"There's a 55-45% chance right now that disintegration will occur,"he says. "One could rejoice in that process," he adds, poker-faced."But if we're talking reasonably, it's not the best scenario -- for Russia." Though Russia would become more powerful on the global stage,he says, its economy would suffer because it currently depends heavily on the dollar and on trade with the U.S.

Mr. Panarin posits, in brief, that mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation will trigger a civil war next fall and the collapse of the dollar. Around the end of June 2010, or early July, he says, the U.S. will break into six pieces -- with Alaska reverting to Russian control.

In addition to increasing coverage in state media, which are tightly controlled by the Kremlin, Mr. Panarin's ideas are now being widely discussed among local experts. He presented his theory at a recent round table discussion at the Foreign Ministry. The country's top international relations school has hosted him as a keynote speaker.During an appearance on the state TV channel Rossiya, the station cut between his comments and TV footage of lines at soup kitchens and crowds of homeless people in the U.S. The professor has also been featured on the Kremlin's English-language propaganda channel, Russia Today."

P.S. 켄터키랑 테네시가 EU로 간다는 부분에서 뒤집어지시면 됩니다.
