Dmitry Orlov:- America will collaspe

Re: Dmitry Orlov:- America will collaspe

Have you actually read Dmitry Orlov's book? It is much less rubbish than most of the things you read in the main stream media. One of the few places you will actually hear the truth today, in main stream media, is in satire and comedy. Surely you must be familiar with EJ's take on the mainstream economic media as salestrumpets of FIRE. Otherwise, you're confined to alternative outlets such as Al-Jazeera, ITulip, Calculated Risk, and yes - even Russia Today. While I find a Russian style collapse of the US not that likely, the parallells are in fact uncanny (declining domestic oil production, swamped in debt, unstable empire, an unwinnable war in Afghanistan, a dysfunctional political system that just continues the looting).

A blanket reply of "not credible" simply doesn't cut it in my book. These types of "what if" scenarios may just be the alternative insight that you can tuck away and that save your ass if the time comes. But by all means, go hitch your fortune to the "credible sources" in the main stream media or strictly economic blogs. If there's one thing people need to wrap their heads around, it is that this is no longer just economics. This is deeply political, and you need to have a wider view of history to understand the possible future paths. Witness the "Gosbank"ing of US banks - another uncanny Russian parallel (which I called before EJ did).

I've read that paper and listened to him talk. I prefer to imagine an America
in which the German's control the U.S. up to the Rockies and Japan controls the Pacific Northwest and California. Sure a lot of stuff is possible.

The idea that the United States will break up into several smaller countrys or fall captive to an invasion by China and Mexico is laughable at best. You are calling the kettle black when you are your self a burnt frying pan.

One needs to weed out the rubbish from both sides of the political spectrum to get a clear veiw. Are we adopting some socialist social agendas? Of course. And it is about time. For too long we have allowed the elite rich to run roughshod over the working poor.
Are we turning into a mini Russia? Please. Perhaps a pre 1950's America. A modern version of 17th century Russia? No.

I didn't even care to watch the whole thing. I typically enjoy the articles and such that you find and post, but please keep your source material credible and worth our time. This one was rubbish and not up to your normal standards.

Why does this keep coming up? If it does happen I hope we get Chuck Norris as President of the Republic of Texas.

Is it Orlov you find objectionable? Or what he is saying?

No one wants to see America go Cold Turkey, but sadly you (& UK) is going to have to!
