this made me laugh today... imagine, Alaska allowing itself to be placed under Russian rule.. ha.

now if he had said they would join Canada, there might be something to this!

he has been predicting this for the last 10 years. perhaps he hopes that if he repeats it often enough, like a prayer, a miracle may occur.

Some of his statements do sound possible, but lots of it seems like wishful thinking.
 
He is a "former" KGB agent (sure "former" lol) so take that into consideration. What i don't quite understand is why Western media keeps giving him a platform to spew is views (Russian propiganda). I saw him say this on the WJS in late 2008. Why give him a platform? It's total rubbish.
 
With the way things are going, who knows?
But I wouldn't give this guy any credence simply because anything that comes out of Putin Russia is utter propaganda.

Putin, schmutin, he didn't need Putin to sound ridiculous, but it got coverage on msn for crying out loud!:p

besides, Putin looks great without a shirt, in the bush, fishing.... :cool:
 
Just a thought: have you noticed how the Italians have been enjoying themselves much more (and their artistic output didn't exactly suffer either) ever since they gave up on that whole Western Roman Empire deal?

Just let go, it won't hurt at all.

Well, ancient Romans and Italians are not exactly the same people. And btw, have you noticed what happened to the world after the collapse of Rome? They call it the dark ages for a reason.
 
oh, you mean the empire that had the likes of Nero and Caligula? And all those in-bred other rulers? Nice work if you could get it, and hang onto it, without being raped by a horse, or say, had your head chopped of for amusement of the masses, or maybe just had your newborn son speared with a short sword cause you were suspected of trying to take over the laurel wreath...
Rome also was dark ages in its own fashion, they just made the water run on time...

I agree, I think the ancient Romans were more like displaced Greeks.

But now look at them both- the Greeks are totally insane and the Italians are hairy gluttons. But maybe that's being too sterotypical....

I hear a leading cause of death in both countries is due to 'mustache asphyxiation'. :D

This article is pure propaganda. What this "ex" KGB analyst is saying could happen, but seriously doubt it'll happen like he says. Russian propaganda, straight up.
 
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

' Brillig di Twas e i toves slithy Ha fatto il vortice e gimble nel wabe; Tutto il mimsy erano i borogoves, E il outgrabe di raths del mome. "
Guardi dal Jabberwock, il mio figlio! Le mascelle che mordono, gli artigli che interferiscono! Guardi dall'uccello di Jubjub ed eviti Il Bandersnatch frumious! "
Ha preso la sua spada vorpal a disposizione: Molto tempo il nemico del manxome lui sought& #8212; Così riposato lui dall'albero di Tumtum, E levato in piedi per un po'nel pensiero.
E come nel uffish ha pensato che si levasse in piedi, Il Jabberwock, con gli occhi della fiamma, È venuto whiffling attraverso il legno di tulgey, E burbled come esso è venuto! Uno, due! Uno, due! e tramite e tramite la lamierina vorpal ha passato lo snicker-spuntino!
Lo ha lasciato guasto e con la relativa testa È andato galumphing indietro.
" E thou del hast vuotato il Jabberwock? Prossimo alle mie armi, il mio ragazzo beamish! Giorno frabjous della O! Callooh! Callay! " Chortled nella sua gioia.
' Brillig di Twas e i toves slithy Ha fatto il vortice e gimble nel wabe; Tutto il mimsy erano i borogoves, E il outgrabe di raths del mome.
