Is The End Nigh?

[paximperium]

It's all dumb, but I just had to bold the Canadian part.

Why just bold the Canadian part?
The entirety of it is stupid and shows a blatant ignorance of US socio-politics.

Man, what sort of person would be dumb enough to believe such prattle and use it as evidence anyway? I wonder?

Ya, just like to poke at my Canadian friends.

That entire site is a riot. He better hope he's wrong. I read another article that says Russia based the federal budget on $95 dollar a barrel oil for 2009.

....and in other news..."Historian says 'genocidal' Ukrainian famine theory born in U.S."

I don't know. Perhaps the sort with a mischievous sense of humour. Who used it "as evidence anyway"?

ETA: Or perhaps a Russian who has lived through the unexpected break-up of the USSR.

Those of us who play Fallout 3 - America's First Choice in Post-Nuclear Simulation - are going to be far more prepared than the rest of you for the coming apocalypse. As long as there are prototype weapons strewn to and fro across the wastes, that is.

I, for one, welcome our new super mutant overlords.

I want my own Fat Man mini-nuke.

Seems to leave structures intact. I should try that next time the line's a little too long for my tastes at McDonald's.

EAT RADS, PLEBIAN SWINE! *mushroom*

You should have bolded this part:

Panarin, 60, is a professor at the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and has authored several books on information warfare.

Funny that you would post that article, brush it off as being unimportant or that it was just FYI, and then add that ETA. I can't help but guess your posting has recently spilled over from the CT forums.

Good point. Someone should tell this guy to study up. You can't win an information war when your misinformation is an outright parody.

I was aware of the predictable way that people like yourself would likely react to it and that amused me. That doesn't make the article unimportant.

US citizens and others would do well study the collapse of the Soviet Union and how Russians survived it.

From intro to:

'Post-Soviet Lessons for a Post-American Century'

By Dmitry Orlov

"...we should emphasize one major difference between the collapse of the Soviet Union and the dissolution which now confronts [the US]. Russia was able to survive the collapse and stage a comeback because it was largely a political and economic collapse. Russia still had a rich resource base, and most importantly vast energy reserves. Moreover, it was a regional collapse; there was a healthy world outside of Russia to which it could turn for aid, albeit at an exploitive price. Following the global peak of oil and the worldwide, irreversible decline in energy production, there will be little left on which to stage a comeback. "

Guess again.

Why should anyone listen to someone completely ignorant about what they are talking about?

The Soviet Union is not even a close analogy to the United States. The Soviet Union was a forced amalgamation of nations under the foot of Moscow. The Poles, Czechs, Ukrainians are gloriously happy that their Russian masters no longer have a gun to their heads.

The United States is a country. We are united by many things including a common history, language and government system.

Your continued propagation of an article filled with garbage and the moronic belief that the US will break apart continues to be inane and ridiculous.

Spanish?

It is of no concern to me whether anyone listens to me or not. Dmitry Orlov knows exactly what he is talking about.

The US, as we have known it, is over. Its power is on the wane. What happens next is anyone's guess. My guess is that there could be one more artificial bubble, pumped up by the recently enriched Fed, followed by a final pop. Maybe I'm being too optimistic, though.

 

[paximperium]

Spanish?

What about it? A large chunk of 1st generation American born immigrants speak English and Spanish. The recent immigrants do not speak English or just broken English. I speak 4 languages myself. What was your point again?

It is of no concern to me whether anyone listens to me or not. Dmitry Orlov knows exactly what he is talking about.

Yeah, sure. Your ability to be able to use a brain is clearly suspect if you trust such badly written article. I notice you didn't refute a single point I made.
It is a good thing that no one listens to you.

Your "guess" and opinion is has the weight of truth of a 5 year old child. The 5 year old has an excuse, you don't.

Pax pretty much covered it. The Soviet Union was made up of countries full of many people that hated Russia. I know Polish immigrants that would spit at the sight or mention of a Russian. Russia is not the Soviet Union. The US might be facing economic troubles, (collapse is an exaggeration from mouth foamers like yourself) but it is so far removed politically, it's laughable.

Collapse is not an exaggeration. It is the result of a century-long pyramid scheme and it is unlikely that the process can be halted.

Great clip. I agree with him. A little more pessimistic than most, but not too far off.

How does this support your delusion moronic claims and continued propagation of your breakup of the US scenario?

Heehe! I love your OTT flamboyant explosions!

I'm not propagating any scenarios but think it's useful to consider possible futures. We do not know if the US will hold together. For those of us tired of US bullying it is refreshing to picture the empire's demise. Empires have broken up before.

The consequences of the collapse of the most powerful empire that's ever existed are unknown. We can look forward to massive power vacuums as the sprawling US military returns home in rags! It not just the US that could disintegrate...the financial chaos that its corruption has unleashed may collapse the entire global monetary sytem. The foundations of our deluded civilisation of infinite growth are threatened from several directions at once. I know that you think that there's always going to be enough energy. Many peope don't and money without energy is worthless.

Wow. You really are projecting.
I find you pathetic. I don't get worked up over inane and idiotic posts. You are as amusing as kicking a rat.

So you enjoy fantasy anti-american fiction? Well, whatever makes you happy. Enjoy your fantasy while people deal with reality.

I don't just make things up. My belief in the continued energy growth has do with things called evidence and facts, things which you seem to not have on your side. All you have is fantasy and terrible fiction written by an ignorant author.

Even your video link didn't support your delusion. You obviously didn't watch it, didn't understand it or are just delusional.

Well enjoy your fantasy snuff porn. I can see you gleefully waiting for people to suffer and nations to collapse.
I will actually work towards making the world a better place. You seem to take joy in watching the world collapse. You are truly a sad human being.

I wasn't suggesting you were getting worked up. I was enjoying your flamboyant language.

It's funny how any criticism of the US is immediately termed "anti-American" or, if coming from an American, "unAmerican". This may be because, more than being a country, America is a religion. Perhaps you have never imagined what it's like to be on the receiving end of US firepower, terrorism and economic sobotage.

I don't just make things up. My belief in the continued energy growth has do with things called evidence and facts, things which you seem to not have on your side. All you have is fantasy and terrible fiction written by an ignorant author.

I haven't been convinced by any of your "evidence and facts". You have yet to present a comprehensive vision of how the transition to non-fossil energy can be achieved. I think we've left it too late. I'm not the only one, though am slightly more optimistic than George Monbiot:

Even your video link didn't support your delusion. You obviously didn't watch it, didn't understand it or are just delusional.

The video shows that the possibility of economic collapse is now entering mainstream consciousness.

Well enjoy your fantasy snuff porn. I can see you gleefully waiting for people to suffer and nations to collapse.

You have never met me so your judgement is a fantasy.

It is strange that you deny that your style is flamboyant! I do not wait gleefuly. I wait and watch with intense trepidation and accept that I myself may die prematurely as our system disintegrates. I am making whatever small preparations I can in combination with similarly minded local and international activists. I fear for our children. There is a faint possibility that future generations may live more harmoniously within their ecosystems having learned from our mistakes.

If our civilisation doesn't collapse civilised human life will become less and less viable. We cannot go on growing.
