Dumb.. Very.. This is the most without logic or reasoning -thing I've read in years.. No, make that decades.. Seriously, there is 0 logic for this segmenting *prediction*. While it is obvious that any “state-like” country can break up it's union, there is no political, moral, or even economical .. or any other reason for each section to drop off into other property countries. This “professor” has views like someone who has lived in an anarchy country and thinks countries come and go in the exactly same way they did in the dark ages.. YeeHaw! Get your battle axe's and whoever still standing gets the land! Again, I am not saying and have not said a breakup union wise is impossible. The USSR proved that. But this? It LITERALLY sounds like he was writting story, a fictional one. There is 0 logic behind this reasoning. I am not saying it is stupid, I am saying it has “0” logic or reasoning. Why, such specific segments, to specific countries? It would have been understandable even to a 10 year old that each broken segment would have started their own government. And what? Alaska citizens are just going to say “okkkkk lets be Russian..” One last time, yes any union type of country can break apart.. But… Professor, retire please.. Do it now before you make a complete ass of yourself and end up being force retired for embarrassing your people.
