A dean in the Russian Foreign Ministry’s school for future diplomats in a lecture that, strangely, the media was “pointedly invited” to attend predicted that President Obama will order martial law this year, the United States will “collapse” by 2010 and break up into six autonomous “rump-states,” and Alaska will “revert to Russian control” (ha, good luck with that). Then the assemblage of students, professors, and diplomats watched silently as he boxed a giant, invisible bunny and fell asleep on the floor. [AP via ABC News]
