Back in the Cold War era, when America and the Soviet Union were on constant alert, ready to launch their nuclear death as soon as the other launched theirs first…
Sting released his meaningful song, Russians, about how such paranoia and antagonism that could easily destory the entire world made no sense… If any of us loved our children.
I’ve added Wikipedia links to the names you may not recognize in this post-Cold War era.

Russians
In Europe and America, theres a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
I dont subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer‘s deadly toy
There is no monopoly in common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the president
Theres no such thing as a winnable war
Its a lie that we dont believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I dont subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me, and you
Is that the Russians love their children too

Today, the Democratic Capitalist West has a new threat – terrorism. Perhaps Sting could come out with a new song that promotes peace in the 21st-Century?
However, there is one huge difference – as the jihadists have proven countless times, they wouldn’t mind dying just to kill their enemies. They even actively encourage it.
They even intentionally send their children to die by using them as anti-American decoys and anti-Israeli bullet shields, and strapping bombs to them!
Their own flesh and blood counts less to them than spiting their hated Jewish enemies. Theirs is a culture of hatred and death:
So Sting’s logic fails when it comes to jihadi terrorists and even ‘ordinary’ civilians who DON’T ‘love their children too’.
If they ever got nukes, you know that they wouldn’t hesitate to use them – even if it means an angry nuclear retaliation that completely wipes their own home nations off the face of the earth.
So wave goodbye to the entire world, and Sting’s poor Russian children too.
