Interesting - although Russia also said that in 2011, the United States would fragment into six or seven distinct countries and go to war with itself. Russia comes out with the goofiest things! Still, there's about a 5 percent chance that there could be something to this one. The whole Strauss-Kahn thing strikes me as a bit weird.
And speaking of Strauss-Kahn... this is worth watching: http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2011/05/dsk-snl/

A new report prepared for Prime Minister Putin by the Federal Security Service (FSB) says that former International Monetary Fund (IMF) Chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was charged and jailed in the US for sex crimes on May 14th after his discovery that all of the gold held in the United States Bullion Depository located at Fort Knox was ‘missing and/or unaccounted’ for.
According to this FSB secret report, Strauss-Kahn had become “increasingly concerned” earlier this month after the United States began “stalling” its pledged delivery to the IMF of 191.3 tons of gold agreed to under the Second Amendment of the Articles of Agreement signed by the Executive Board in April 1978 that were to be sold to fund what are called Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) as an alternative to what are called reserve currencies.
