Is there any chance that Abramovic goes too? And Usmanov.

Poland, Germany and Lithuania quarrel over newly made Kaliningrad Gulf.

Oil, amber etc prices go up, up, up.

There are a lot of people that unfortunately freeze to death as there isn't shelter for ~140 million people in those states.

Is it THAT cold at night in the middle of the summer in Dakotas? This government can't even get housing straight for a couple hundred thousand people 3 years after a major Hurricane, you expect it's ass to get in gear by the time winter rolls around?

Starting out with everyone evenly distributed by population density into the US will still place extreme strain on the US, but will overall be the best bet to not have 100 million dead russians dumped on us.

dupe.

Russia sinks. The oceans pour in to replace the missing landmass. Its all bad for anyone living on the newly created coastlines.

You expect Russians to defecate on Mt Rushmore for six months and not march to Malibu or Miami? I expect there to be a lot of potshots between tghe loony locals and the Russians before this **** is figured out.

Let's say the above-water part evaporates, and an equivalent volume of below-water Russia turns to water.
This way we'll avoid any sea-level changes. You should probably edit your OP to reflect this.

Really, what is the point of all these strange scenarios?

I'm having the most trouble with the dropping of 140 million russians in the US particularly in the Dakotas where indeed the russians will likely die of exposure before they can get their basic needs attended to or migrate to a location that can support them.

The disappearance of the vast russian landmass presents difficulties of it's own however. I think you'd need sophisticated climate models to be sure but I'd imagine the climates of all surrounding territories would become more moderate due to the replacement of a vast continental region with an ocean. On the other hand enormous mineral resources would be lost and the loss of the exports would surely trigger a global recession.

Geopolitically I would imagine that the US and most of europe would drift apart as enthusiasm for defense links like NATO would diminish in eastern european countries.

I do not predict a general increase in warfare or conflict apart from that resulting from the economic recession because I don't think russia currently forms a keystone of any balance of power relationships amongst major power blocs. In other words I don't think it's presence currently discourages warfare between many other states. Had it acted more decisively on behalf of serbia when it was the victim of NATO aggression that might not have been the case.

Yes, serb, everyone is out there to get you, just like that neofascist video of your sig says

[Zwnkkvle]

And it's anti-fascist video, not otherwise.
