"0:56- "Schmierenkomödiant" literally means "bad actor" or "bad comedian", in this case a "clown" (the US president at the time)." Assuming this is referring to Reagan, it's probably meant literally. He _was_ a bad actor before entering politics.

@@theLopBopian Japan was finished long before that, there was no need for the atom bombs and crucially the American leadership knew it at the time too. There was too much momentum and political capital invested in moving ahead with the atom bombs, so they dropped them. An unjustified war crime either way. Obviously there is more to the story, but the bottom line is, the narrative of "it was the only way to make them surrender" was manufactured after the fact. At the time, every party knew Japan was finished. Japan knew it, the USSR knew it and the USA knew it. It was not "necessary" to force a surrender.

Great song, although the lyrics is flawed. Some words are inaccurately translated and some verses refer to another, in which the meaning has not been accurately translated

[@seronymus]

Such as?

[@ultradoodle2528]

@@seronymus 1. Its not ''abnormalen Dreck/abnormal mess'' but ''atomaren Dreck/atomic trash'' referring to US nukes and Pershing II rockets or MGM-52 Lance missiles. 2. ''Schmierenkomödiant im Weißen Haus'' is not ''clown-'' but rather ''bad actor in the white house'' a much closer translation which would also fit to it addressing Reagan directly who was an actor bevor his political career. although this is kinda explained in the desc. 3. ''Lasst uns da raus'' is ambiguous it could mean both ''Let us get out of here'' and ''Leave us out of it'' at the same time, I find the second one much more fitting in regards to the entire setting but that is up to the original author of the Text. 4. ''Nein wir spielen jetzt nicht mehr (mit) Coca-Cola und McDonalds Kolonie'' the ''mit'' is not sung, and the actual translated lyrics is ''we wont play Coca-Cola and McDonalds colony anymore!'' or ''were done being a Coca-Cola and McDonalds Colony!''. 5. at the point where the sound is cut off ''und den Genscher und den Schmidt'' is missing in the Lyrics. 6. ''Sieh mal, eh du dich versiehst, sind die Lügen und der Dollar nichts mehr wert (?)'' The sentence being a question makes absolutely no sense, the two verses are related and the actual translation is ''Look before you miss it, your lies and the Dollar will be worthless'' While technically the English translation is correct as well because the wording and comma usage makes it ambiguous, the question mark is still wrong because it makes in both cases no sense for the sentence to be a question.
