America in danger?

• Bloomberg Report, 11/24/08: "Russian Professor Says U.S. Will Break Up After Economic Crisis"


• The Drudge Report, 11/25/08 (with more details from the interview): "Russian Analyst Predicts Decline and Breakup of USA."
And then this startling development...


• USA Today: "Venezuela's Chavez welcomes Russian warships"

So a Russian professor predicts the break-up of the U.S. into six regions as a result of the financial meltdown and cultural instability, leaving two major world powers: China and Russia. Then, on 9/11/08 no less, Russian bombers arrived in Venezuela, welcomed by President Chavez. Now Russian nuclear warships arrived at Venezuela's shores for "training exercises." Chavez said, "The Yankee hegemony is finished." Given the financial meltdown here in the U.S. and a time of transition between President Bush and President-elect Obama, this raises alarming concerns. What do you think?
