Plus, their calls to "stop global warming" are inane. Even if global warming were a scientific fact, which is not the case, there is nothing that man could possibly do to "stop" it. And the Soviet Union that they so admire was among the biggest polluters in the world, and never made any effort to reduce their carbon emissions.
The Russian gov’t was dead set against any action at Copenhagen. Seems like a good time to make sure our eastern European allies get those missiles.
They want a new worldwide “magical misery tour!”
You're absolutely right.
I didn't know that until I googled the "Internationale", and found out it was a 19th Century French Communist song. The Soviet Union felt ethnic Russians wanted an anthem that motivated its own troops and people better, hence the Soviet anthem. The original lyrics contained tributes to Stalin, but were removed later. After the purge of Stalin, they later removed all lyrics altogether and the anthem was played for awhile with just music and no singing. (source: Wikipedia)
The anthem has had a surge in popularity in Russia in recent years. Like I said, I think it is a very good song. Better tune than our national anthem.
