Since everyone in this thread and all the people that think they "know" haven't experienced this stuff first hand or witnessed it or lived through it, I wouldn't take anything said seriously.

You don't think that the fact that the US and Europe were there to help makes a current US collapse quite different from the russian collapse?
When Russia collapsed the rest of the worlds economomy was in a robust stage, oil was cheap, money was flowing around the planet, and there was a line of countries who wanted to buy into russias plentiful oil and gas and sell to their people who had been deprived of consumer goods for 50 years.
We have comparitively much less immature natural resources than russia did then, russia had always lived lean and its people were tougher than we americans.
I wonder who you think is going to come to america and invest trillions in us? And who will be our Putin to throw out the oligarchs and the carpetbaggers, and reassert control over the oil and gas?
I figure an american collapse is coming, but I don't expect russia to come to our aid when it does.
