Я впервые услышал эту песню у своего друга Кости. Он был младше нас на год, а МЫ же тогда были в десятом классе. 2020 год, весна, объявили дистанционное обучение, а мы с моими друзьями (одноклассниками) тусили каждый день у кого-то дома, на крышах, в подъездах на стройке, да где угодно в целом! Золотое было время, когда из всех проблем был один лишь только ковид и ничего больше, ни политики, ни интриг, ни войны... Это англоязычная песня... Моя любимая песня, она неразрывно связана с воспоминаниями о самом беззаботном времени в моей жизни. А теперь идёт война, и отношения между моей страной и западом напряжены как никогда. это разбивает мне сердце и я мечтаю, что Россия стала свободной, кровопролитие остановилось и везде наконец наступил мир ПС: если вы англоговорящий и перевели этот комментарий, знайте - я вас люблю!

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.

Humanity has no hope. Many countries have proven that they are biorobots, some kind of monsters.

[@Star-lv1gk]

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...

I know this is going to sound satirical, but if they nuke your city, you will have mere seconds yo panic and then you're gone 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."

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.

We have innumerable problems as a global society and in microcosms in the various countries within and along their borders. I fear we are accelerating to total annihilation and extinction. I don't think there are enough people who remain that choose to see the good in their enemies any longer. I've been arguing against fellow "leftists" why punching Nazis is morally bankrupt. And they don't understand these principles. Countries will be ripped apart. And the world will be no better off.

@@SocialistStrike you’re not a leftist you’re a progressive. You don’t believe in socialism, you’re a caricature of it. “Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered” remember? Under no pretext. That means that punching Nazis or shooting bad guys is the right thing to do, even if you don’t like it.

I hadn't heard this song in ages. I was listening to some classical music today on the Apple Classical Music app, Prokofiev's "Lt. Kije Suite" and the melody immediately struck me as sounding familiar. It took me a few minutes, but I finally figured out it was this Sting song from long ago (confirmed by Wikipedia!). I have this on vinyl and saw him in concert soon after the album was released. Wow, Sting's music, at least to me, still holds up well after all these years. Prokofiev's suite is also just as fantastic on first listen.

@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

В общем, простой ответ Стингу из прошлого и всем комментаторам на всех языках. Русские, английские, украинские, французские, американские, китайские трудящиеся - все любят своих деток примерно одинаково. Вы даже себе не представляете насколько мы в принципе одинаково сделаны, насколько у нас одинаковые проблемы, заботы и мысли, и насколько одинаково нам срут в голову СМИ. Буржуи, которые всем рулят, не любят ни нас ни своих деток, ни чужих, в том смысле, в котором нам привычно. У них по сравнению с нашей совершенно инопланетная логика и мораль. Они как бы играют в "цивилизацию", и всё, что их заботит - это бизнес, строительство монополии, роль в Истории. Люди для них - это ресурс, как камень, золото, железо, никель, нефть. Они сильно переживают когда мы дохнем, потому что они теряют этот ресурс, а не потому, что у нас есть чувства, мысли, или они воспринимают нас равными. Но есть хорошая новость - если играя в циву в конце партии ты можешь по приколу закидать соседа ядерными ракетами, в реальном мире на самом деле такой опции нет, потому что всех буржуев обслуживают всё-таки обычные люди, с обычной, нашей моралью, которые любят деток.

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.

I am Russian! In my 50 years I have heard this composition more than once, and I want to say that this is a real masterpiece in the world of music, and that in fact there are no bad peoples or countries, but there are so-called politicians who are responsible for what is happening on planet Earth ..

have you watched "I.S.S." ?

[@supaman6713]

Yeah and russians aren't to be blamed at all - "I'm apolitical, I'll still vote putin though" 👏👏

[@liv0003]

do you know right that the music used for this song is not written by Sting but rather by the Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev in 1933-34? Sting used Prokofiev's music to make this song by adding lyrics written by him( Sting)

@@supaman6713 It is very PROFITABLE for the government to SCARE people: prices can be raised, salaries and social benefits dropped - "Russians r coming / Putin is coming". THEY r not coming, NATO is doing it.

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?

There is this man in Russia Diagnosed with schizophrenia A million-dollar-yacht and private jet 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! * How can a Nazi be a Yew? His bombs and his mind just blew And all these sanctions make no sense The world has lost its innocence We share the same stupidity Regardless of our geology Trust in God and toodeloo I think this Russian’s just a bit cuckoo! * This is a historical song I sing And I do hope that it will Sting There’s no such thing as a World War 4 My voice is gone so I must roar Mister Biden says, "We won’t protect you" The old man has no balls or clue Why don’t we put-in in a zoo? Because this Russian’s just a big cuckoo! * He keeps inflicting all this pain On the people of Ukraine But what might save us, me and you Is when this cuckoo flies to Waterloo!

This song still has a chilling resonance today almost 40 years after it was written

[@MuroKhan]

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. I write this as of July 21, 2023, and I hope this account is still active so the algorithm does a loop around again and recommends this moment of history for others to see.
