The Battle of Baltimore took place during the War of 1812, not the Revolutionary War, and it doesn't really glorify the carnage since the poem is about the American defenders getting their teeth kicked in by the British Navy, but the flag remaining over the fort defending the entrance to the city till the British ran out of ammunition.
Despite that, the anthem still sucks. It was a good poem, but awful as a song. Pledge of allegiance is also absurd.
How???
Genuinely? Even if they went absolutely ham and executed a full Stalin 4 year plan mega socialist overhaul of the economy, where would Russia get the extra 4 trillion dollars minimum to take that spot? Implying that none of the current spot holders have their economies grow.
Russia is going to overtake India, Germany, Japan, Brazil, France, and the UK? All of them?
It’s possible but it would take a socialist government over a decade like the Soviet Union did. How does Putin expect to accomplish this?
