the race card is a mute point since it was shown that there are racists on both sides...so can we please find another arguement?

When the racists stop doing the damage they do then it will stop. Not until then.

Panarin repeated his predictions in a 20-minute lecture at the Diplomatic Academy in Moscow on 3 March 2009, saying that "there is a high probability that the collapse of the United States will occur by 2010", and "what is happened is the collapse of the American dream". He said he does not wish for a U.S. collapse but gave 12 indicators for it[43] and predicted Russia and China would emerge from the economic turmoil stronger and recommended the two nations to work together, even to create a new currency to replace the U.S. Dollar. The Russian Foreign Ministry invited foreign reporters (Associated Press, Deutche Welle, The Wall Street Journal, Prensa Latina)[44] to attend the lecture, which drew an audience of students, professors and diplomats.[45]

Russian Scholar Says Obama Will Declare Martial Law

Associated Press
March 4, 2009

MOSCOW — If you’re inclined to believe Igor Panarin, and the Kremlin wouldn’t mind if you did, then President Barack Obama will order martial law this year, the U.S. will split into six rump-states before 2011, and Russia and China will become the backbones of a new world order.

Panarin might be easy to ignore but for the fact that he is a dean at the Foreign Ministry’s school for future diplomats and a regular on Russia’s state-guided TV channels. And his predictions fit into the anti-American story line of the Kremlin leadership.

“There is a high probability that the collapse of the United States will occur by 2010,” Panarin told dozens of students, professors and diplomats Tuesday at the Diplomatic Academy — a lecture the ministry pointedly invited The Associated Press and other foreign media to attend.

The prediction from Panarin, a former spokesman for Russia’s Federal Space Agency and reportedly an ex-KGB analyst, meshes with the negative view of the U.S. that has been flowing from the Kremlin in recent years, in particular from Vladimir Putin.

Putin, the former president who is now prime minister, has likened the United States to Nazi Germany’s Third Reich and blames Washington for the global financial crisis that has pounded the Russian economy.

Panarin didn’t give many specifics on what underlies his analysis, mostly citing newspapers, magazines and other open sources.

He also noted he had been predicting the demise of the world’s wealthiest country for more than a decade now.

Don't need a crystal ball to see the future, only to predict the outcome of it.

I don't worry about things that haven't happened yet.

I belive we should. Last I checked, problems never come from the past. Too many are acting for the here and now with no regard for the future.
