Red Storm Rising???

I am wondering what Russia's motives for the world, but mostly The United States are? They never really seemed to feel comfortable with US; The Cold War is over, but by what Russia has done to Georgia, Medvedev changing their presidential term from 4 to 6 years, and just recently a Russian scholar who meshes with the Kremlin's view of the United States said that the United States will break up into 6 autonomous regions and Alaska will "revert" to Russian control. "Revert", the only thing that means is that Russia would attack the United States. Yet if the Russian Economy is getting weak, it is very doubtful this would happen. I can't believe that someone is saying this??? The audacity of this person and the Russian Government as a whole...It makes me wonder. Also Venezuela; Chavez seems like a crazy dictator based on what the news says of him. If abolishing Presidential term limits is not Dictatorial, I don't know what is.
