[lbo-talk] Russia = baaaad

[Chris Doss]

It would be entertaining (and easy) to compile a list
of Lucas Lunacy, his various predictions that were
completely wrong (remember when he confidently
announced in 1999 that Russia was about to collapse
into 15-20 different countries, all with their own
currencies, or when he asserted that of course there
were no Islamists in Chechnya at all, that's all a
Kremlin lie!?). 

One could do this for Stratfor ("the US and Russia
will come to war over Afghanistan" in 2001) as well.
