I just figured it out. here is KGB’s plan:

Assume:
USA financial system enables USA military power, and USA first-ever socialist POTUS candidate will severely damage the former, severely weakening the latter.

Then:
Invade Georgia, play harsh, cruel, whimsical games with Georgian people, west-humiliating games, for several months.
Bring crisis to incredibly tense eve-of-destruction nuclear-war brink about two weeks before election.
Invite Obama — “Come To Moscow” –to treat.

Obama meets with Putin/Medvedev, they then hold beaming joint press conference –like Yeltsin & Clinton’s laugh-a-thon — announcing ”new relationship” –and Red Army immediately pulls all the way back over its own border.

American electorate, by now with nothing but Russia & nuclear war on its mind, is presented with a candidate who can make it all go away, and so elects him to president, and his party to full power in congress.

USA financial system falls apart under loss of confidence, under taxation, and under fiscally-insane green legislation, de-facto overturning of first amendment thru ”fairness doctrine” and internet control viz ”great firewall of China”, etcetera.

USA military power follows national downward path of financial, fiscal, monetary degradation, detaches from global system-order guarantor, pulls back to western hemisphere.

Eurasian/mideast/african oil reserves, amounting to what 75%, 90%, of globe’s, and lifting costs of a quarter of western hemisphere’s, ensures inability of western industry to compete, and lifestyle to maintain, and military power to protect landmass and population.

Political unrest in USA due to unhappy conservatives cause martial law, suspension of bill of rights, ultimately suspension of elections due to ”national crisis”.

End of individual liberty on Earth, beginning of something else.
