Try supporting Carlisle for some real pain.

Supporting Carlisle United all my life has taught me two valuable lessons in life

  • If it can go wrong, it will go wrong
  • Just as you think things can’t get any worse, they will.

The current Russian national anthem uses the same tune as the Soviet anthem which replaced the Internationale in 1944, just with different words.

“Start branding his name”? “like Trump does”?

You’re aware that Putin has been around in politics for a lot longer than Trump, and has been “branding” himself and his ideologies for a decades now… right?

He’ll try, but I see it as a small amount of progress after decades of Russia cheating and getting away with it.

The fact that the instrumental versions of the Soviet and Russian national anthems are indistinguishable could also be used to their advantage here.
