HAHAHA...I found th original article. Seems like Drudge, the hack that he is, left this bit out of his quote:
"On the fate of the U.S. dollar, he said: "In 2006 a secret agreement was reached between Canada, Mexico and the U.S. on a common Amero currency as a new monetary unit. This could signal preparations to replace the dollar. The one-hundred dollar bills that have flooded the world could be simply frozen. Under the pretext, let's say, that terrorists are forging them and they need to be checked."

"When asked who would replace the U.S. in regulating world markets, he said: "Two countries could assume this role: China, with its vast reserves, and Russia, which could play the role of a regulator in Eurasia."
Keep this motherfucker away from the vodka. If the US really goes down, China is going to be in a world of fucking hurt and inner turmoil and social unrest the world hasn't seen in decades. And Russia as regulating Eurasia? You ow who will have a big fucking problem with that? Germany. Just like it has for the last odd 400 years. So again, good luck with that Ivan...because this time Germany has a whole United Europe behind it...and don't expect te UK to side with the Russkies this time around.
- Russia would have to come close to being as powerful as the EU first.zarkonite

"He predicted that the U.S. will break up into six parts - the Pacific coast, with its growing Chinese population; the South, with its Hispanics; Texas, where independence movements are on the rise; the Atlantic coast, with its distinct and separate mentality; five of the poorer central states with their large Native American populations; and the northern states, where the influence from Canada is strong."
HAHAHA!! Oh man..this guy is one crazy Ivan....what a rigamaroon...

The commies often forget that the U.S is the world. It is the most powerful, the most influential, and the most prosperous nation on this planet. Its political happenings are observed, analyze, and felt by all other countries. Its arm of military strength reaches across the entire globe. It represents true liberty, prosperity, and the American Dream.
When is the last time someone has emigrated to Russia to pursue the "Russian Dream?"

Some reasons which can contribute to Russia's growth, some points taken from this norwegian article, based on analysis by ECON Pöyry, I made a translation last year
http://www.dagbladet.no/kultur/2…1. Global warming. While many countries are already facing difficulties with water shortage, desert spread, extreme weather etc., Russia can only look forward to milder climate. More than 65% of the territory of Russia is covered with a permanent ice. As larger areas become productive in terms of agriculture and forrest planting, there will be some minor problems with infrastructure in the beginning, but it will turn out a big advantage in the end. If all land is taken into use, Russia can feed 32 billion people. While half of Europe can be under water.
Oceans being depleted for fish has little to say in Russia's case, as the fish will wander north with increasing temperature.2. The obvious: non-renewable resources which Russia has plenty of. The periodic table -- from top to bottom.
3. Renewable resources like fresh water, fertile soil, world's largest forest reserves ('the lungs of Europe'), harvestable fish and animals. Pollution and congestion of ecosystems are becoming more common over the whole world. Russia is certainly known for it's pollution in the big cities and decades of catastrophic environmental administration, but thanks to it's waste area and low population density, vast stretches of land are virtually untouched. Here Russia is in fact in an unique position, and in a way can only be compared to Canada.
4. Clash of civilizations. While war on terror is tying up large resources in the USA, Russia has taken the role of participant observer and even nourishes it's relations with Iran.
While multicultural societies in Europe are struggling with integration, and immigration pressure from poor remote countries continues to increase, all new Russian work force immigration comes from neighboring former Soviet republics. For many of these peoples this is not a new deal. In contrast to the well-fare spongers in the West, immigrants in Russia are actually working
Birthrates are highest in 16 years (but still very low)5. Scientific and technological strength is coming back. The country is still one of the top suppliers of mathematicians, physicians and programmers, and has a rapidly growing software industry.
6. Russia's military industrial complex is slowly rising up and over time will approach it's past greatness.
7. 70 years of isolation from the West. Like coming out of a time capsule, the least Americanized European country where everything is like 20 years back in time

I believe that everything falls apart eventually. It is a rule of life... everything goes through a cycle. I hope the best to all.

the fact that he started dividing the country up should make it clear this is more of a psychological trick than legitimate commentary. seems designed for every two bit political pundant on the internet to get all cramped about... good job guys. more viral 'news' tomorrow.
