Well, this is my first thread. And I am not as sharp as our freind "Lostinoz", when talking of news, but you still might find it interesting. I have traveled to the East many times over the last 3 years. My wife is from there. She asked her daughter to withdraw some money from her bank in Kiev last week. They said no. The next day, they said okay 800 Grevnas ($100.00 USD) My wife has over 20,000 usd in the bank. I check the news there everyweek, as in a few other countries as well for I have some freinds there too. I was pulling together bank news from different capitals and cities there. Then I found this, and everything else I collected did'nt seem important. Forget about socialism for a minute. The world thinks we are going to crash anyway.

Russian Scholar Predicts Collapse of US Next Year

A Russian scholar, dean and former spokesman of the Russian space agency predicts that the US will collapse next year and Russia and China will emerge as the new backbone of world economic order.
Igor Panarin, former spokesman of the Russian Space Agency and Dean of the foreign ministry’s school for diplomats, predicts that the US will collapse as early as next year.
Among his major predictions:
• President Barack Obama will declare martial law this year
• The US will split into six rump-states before 2011 and
• Russia and China will become the backbones of a new world order.
‘There is a high probability that the collapse of the United States will occur by 2010’ Panarin told dozens of students, professors and diplomats Tuesday at the Diplomatic Academy-a lecture the ministry pointedly invited The Associated Press and other foreign media to attend.
The prediction from Panarin, a former spokesman for Russia’s Federal Space Agency and reportedly at an ex-KGB analyst, meshes with the negative view of the US that has been flowing from the Kremlin in recent years, in particular from Vladimir Putin, Fox news reports.
Putin the former president who is now Prime Minister, has likened the United States to Nazi Germany’s Third Reich and blames Washington for the global financial crises that has pounded the Russian economy, the report added.
On issues with social relevance, Panarin argued that ‘Americans are in moral decline, saying their great emotional distress is evident from school shootings, the size of prison population and the number of gay men’
On the economy, he cited the decline of GNP and the slide of major stock indexes. He also said that the bailout of the citigroup is evidence that American dominance in the global market has collapsed. On the whole he said that it is in effect the ‘collapse of the American dream’.
Panarin said that China and Russia will emerge from the current economic turmoil much stronger and saw the possibility that the two emerging powers will play a major role in world economic order. He also saw the possibility that a new currency will replace the US dollar as a major world currency as a result of the Russia-China alliance.
Some scholars and economists disagree with Panarin’s views.
