I read about Igor Panarin's predictions elsewhere within the last few weeks but I don't think the article I read mentioned gays. I wonder what he figures more gay men means, less population for the US to draw on, or an emasculated America because he believes in silly stereotypes that all gay men are effeminate whimps? And I wonder what his explaination is for why a post US breakup Alaska ends up in Russian hands instead of Canadian ones?

Seriously.

But, meh, it's all just stupid, cock-in-hand posturing.

Panarin has been providing fervent anti-US punditry for some 10 years finally to become a darling of Western media. Hooray!
