O, Canada is my favorite non-native anthem.
I'm Canadian and I always found our anthem a little cheesy.

Totally.  The Russian national anthem makes me want to defect.  Makes you feel proud about your country.

it Sounds like Uematsu's music.  The difference being, it doesn't suck.

I think Russians are just good at music.  They have a disproportionate number of fuck awesome composers, too.

No matter how awesome the Russian anthem might be, I feel sad when I hear it as it reminds me how people were forced to learn it under Soviet oppression.  :(

And the Australian anthem is hilarious garbage.

But holy crap you've got that one right, sister.  I love Australia, but our anthem is embarrassingly bad.

The US is comparably as bad as the Soviets, dude. 

Quote
Authors such as the Holocaust expert David Cesarani have argued that the government and policies of the United States of America against certain indigenous peoples constituted genocide. David Cesarani states that "in terms of the sheer numbers killed, the Native American Genocide exceeds that of the Holocaust".

The American Genocide is so conveniently ignored, and it at is least as bad as what the Nazis did.  America is built on complete injustice.  A disgusting country that I hate being affiliated with.  We Americans should vomit every day at our legacy.

While I'm not the world's biggest fan of some actions of the US, my mother's family was subject to the Soviet atrocities in eastern Europe during the 40s and 50s so I don't hold much love for Stalin or the Russia of that era.

Only an American could say such bull. Sovjets were some of the worst motherfuckers out there. Sovjets killed tens of millions, US much less, plus they tried to introduce democracy in many countries unlike the Sovjets who just wanted to establish dictatorships. Sure the US helped some dictators too, but not nearly as many as the Sojets.

obviously TVC is using some exaggeration, but the point that shoulddnt be lost is,  the Soviets are widely recognized as the 'other bad motherfuckers of the century' besides the Nazis - and RIghtly so -  while the US is widely seen [well, not anymore, but in the US it is, and the sheer US dominance of the world makes this a point to bring up] as a generally 'good honest, moral guys and saviors of the century'

which is half accurate.  the other half is what they did to N. Americans, Filipinos after kicking the SPanish out, the vietnam adn cuban and Iran dictators right before they *gasp* went anti-american [hmm, I wonder why...], blacks, etc etc

But of course, it's politically safe and correct thing to do to praise only the good side of teh US.

I always think of the opening credits of The Hunt For Red October when I hear the Russian anthem. So awesome.

Exaggeration would be the nice way of putting it, but I just didn't pick my words wisely.  But yeah, the rest of your stuff is what I was getting at.  My bad.
