      Tons of lies about Russia. And millions of deceived people in the world. If Russia perishes, this world will have no hope left. I see it this way. How long could Russia wait and endure spitting? How many people died during all this time in Ukraine at the hands of Ukrainian nationalists? And as soon as Russia clenched its fists, tons of hatred flew into it, patient mother. And it would be nice to hate what is just, no, this hatred comes from a monstrous lie! ... And the refusal to treat children with cancer - is this not Nazism?
      World has gone mad. Humanity has no hope. Many countries have proven that they are biorobots, some kind of monsters.

      Being against war sounds noble, but does not describe reality. Being against violence, does not mean to wait for something bad to happen and then respond. The police for instance catches criminals before they can act, to prevent harm from happening! This too can involve violence, sad but true! In the case of Russia having an operation in the Ukraine, the Russian view is, that they feel very much under threat by the USA.
      America has something that is called "The Monroe doctrine", it forbids any distant great power to put military forces into the western hemisphere! In the case of Ukraine, the coup d'etat that was openly sponsored by the west in 2014 brought the Ukraine basically under US rule, Hunter Biden, the son of Biden even works at a gas and oil company there! The US and NATO are not the only problem, as the Ukraine has a government that consists of people who are openly Nazis. These are politicians who on camera said that all Russians, Jews and Germans, etc. should be killed! Ukraine has named streets after Nazi criminals and even erected statues for mass murderers who were Nazis. The AZOV Battalion, the Right Sector and Aidar are just some of the fruits of Ukrainian Nazi mentality which was also openly enforced by western nations as for instance Scott Ritter admitted.
      The puppet government in the Ukraine tried to cover this all up by installing a Jewish president who is an actor. Before he became president the man played a president in an Ukrainian Tv Soap Opera. Then suddenly a new political party surfaced in the Ukraine with the very same name as the show! Surprise! The candidate was the actor from the show! Western powers supported heavy militarization of Ukraine, which lead to 14.000 deaths in the Donbass region which was clearly against the coup d'etat. The US installed Biological Laboratories in the Ukraine to research biological weapons, which goes against the Geneva Convention and is a crime against humanity! This all lead to a reaction of Russia as the Superpower next door...

      Same to me. I'm 54 years old, born and living in Germany. I bought the album "Dream of the blue turtles" when it was released at 1985 and listened to "Russians" the first time at age 17. Already at this time I was deeply moved by the song.
      When I heard it again last week on radio - more than 35 years later - I started crying bitterly and had to drive my car to the right, because I was too shaken to drive and had to calm down first.

      There is a Dutch song, called "de Bom" by Doe maar, that's about not worrying about a bomb. Whether America, Germany, Russia throws them, it will not chance that you should focus on your loved ones, instead of money or profits.
      He sings: I need to get my diploma, before the bomb drops. Need to get my healthinsurance fixed, before the bomb drops. But if the bomb drops.. well then I'll lay there in my fancy suit, cheques and diplomas in my pocket, my nice vocabulary and healthinsurance all covered.. under the rubblr of the skyscrapers in the city, next to you. So let it drop then, it'll happen anyway, it doesn't matter if you run or not. I'd like to get to know who you are, i've never gotten to know you and I'd like to know who you are."
      Again, it's Doe maar- de bom. A bit of an 80's rastafari-inspired song.

      The Cold War never truly ended. It just simmered down for 25-30 years and has only truly heated up this past decade again. It's no surprise whatsoever that this Cold War song stayed relevant. It will forever remain relevant as long as we Earthlings continue to recognize borders and sovereignty over land and resources, instead of progressing and sharing, co-operating, advancing as one people.

I remember being scared of and hating the Russians/Soviets and playing war with my friends where we pretended to be fighting them. The thought that there was some Russian kid out there thinking the same thing about me never entered my mine till I heard this song. It upset me then bc I realized I didn't hate anyone I was scared and wanted to protect the people I loved. Thinking there might be some people on the "other side" that actually loved their children gave me real hope that maybe we could avoid a nuclear war and perhaps find some way to get along. I now have children and there's no doubt that the Russians love their children too. We are all human. Thank you Sting for teaching me and giving me insight about the world.

      I believe God knows the end from the beginning dependant upon actions/ine tions of Angel's and people.
      I think a concept of pre- destination based on all lives is an erroneous understanding of biblical scripture.
      God is outside of time,he therefore knows the end from the beginning based on what happens.

      @Phelan I think God knows the consequences of all actions when they happen/are carried out by angels/people.
      However, we can't be free unless we desire to choose his loving influence by the Holy Spirit(Gods spirit) in our lives.
      Because of the intense rebellion against God it would appear the consequences of these actions will create what is written about in biblical scripture.
      However,there is hope promised for those who want to follow Yeshua the messiah.
      The alternative is horrible but many people do not want to repent and follow Yeshua.They prefer the rebellious sinful lifestyle.
      These people will be rejected by God in eternity because they have rejected his ways and hope of salvation found through following Yeshua.
      Yeshua bless you

    It’s truly fascinating. This song was published 30 years ago, this person posted the video 13 years ago, and the algorithm recommended this seemingly a year ago. Not only that, but you see many comments from different languages and different time periods. I was just a baby born in 1986, so i really didnt have any memory of the Soviet Union, but seeing so many others share their experiences of that era is breathtaking, but also chilling that we are in such uncertain times again.

The feeling that the manipulated majority had when it came to the Russian people, was that of a faceless, stereotypical enemy. Hence fear arose of what could come out of such people. Sting, boldly, observed that there are differences only in the extent of human beings. He was able to see people, instead of stereotypes. This is more current than you think.

Russia's Pearl Harbor experience was German Blitzkrieg along a border as long as the distance from Maine to Florida?

    i listen to this song, still today, cause it reminds me to my childhood, i am born in ´74 so cold war was present, when this song came out, in the end it went the right way, open borders, russia more open to the west, no threats anymore, i felt more relaxed, when i grow up. love this song, it really touches me.

      Now I hear from many Westerners that as children they were terrified of the Soviet Union and had alert drills there. I was born in 1976, and at school we were never intimidated by foreign countries, on the contrary, we were taught to be friends with all nations. It's very unfortunate that this is happening...

    I grew up loving this song, even though it was released the year before I was born. I was too young to understand the gravity of the message entirely, but I could still feel the meaning and it's always stuck with me. "There's no such thing as a winnable war, it's the lie we don't believe anymore" defined my viewpoints on the topic. It's crushing to think that this song would ever have relevance again in my lifetime. We really are doomed to continue repeating the same mistakes, aren't we?

      Just like every other good Soviet
      Mister Putin said, "This is not a war"
      It's a lie we don't believe anymore
      His fear of the Corona-flu
      May-be this Russian’s just a bit cuckoo!

      And all these sanctions make no sense

      Regardless of our geology

      Not really, you are projecting just like this pathetic song back in a day. It's a political creation that have zero touch with reality and a thing of a past.
      What is happening today is somewhat similar but the politics are different however evident you once again fail to realize what is going on and even if the truth hits you in the head you will continue to bark at Russians because you are born this way.
      You are your own enemy that is the saddest truth, you don't need Russians or anything else for that to blame but yourselves.

      There is no doubt about who is the aggressor in this conflict, and it isn’t Ukraine. You and your countrymen have every right to defend yourself, and that includes killing Russian soldiers when necessary.
      What I am also saying. Is that the Russian people have been lied to and coerced into the war. That a corrupt and oppressive regime have taken over their country. Lots of Russians are partly to be blamed for this, but a lot are not as well. In fact a fair amount are against Putin and the war.
