Russians with Lyrics by Sting

[saj8]

Sting sums up Reagan's America with this song.

[cheyboo67]

Ann coulter ripped Sting in her book. Sting should be ashamed saying "Russians love their children too" Typical Liberal, defending the evil Soviets. God bless Conservatives, like Ann Coulter!!!!

[saj8]

@cheyboo67 Ann Coulter is a horsefaced witch!!!!!

[skrullaloff]

we saw this in class. my teatcher said it was werry usefull :)

[hablerz]

The bankers run the governments, all wars are debt mechanisms. Ideology is a smokescreen to divide the people.

[Jonwood74]

Actually Sting was wrong. Like him or not, Reagan did protect us.

[TracyDragonfire]

I remember The fear and hatred Russia and the Sates and for one another, now... Well, hey, we get along pretty well with them... so long as our government doesn't botch things up.

[hieverybodydavid]

the whole khruschev thing was completely misunderstood (look it up on cracked . com 6 Mistranslations That Changed The World) .sting criticizes the russians for being ppl who wud willing blow americans up.however the russians arent stupid and wouldnt have started a nuclear war. how can you "hope the russians love their children too" does he realize that russians know better than americans what nuclear radiation is?chernobyl?or subs in the arctic ocean that are a nuclear bombs themselves?

[AirborneSargent]

@hieverybodydavid Well, this is known by today, as we have collected information from beyond the Iron Curtain. But during the cold war, and in the 80's when this song was made, almost none information and news left the borders of soviet. The western world did also make this "evil image" of the soviets, making the citizens of west europe think that an atomic war was just around the corner.

[hackroute]

don`t worry russians love not only childrens but people over the world, and we souls have pain when see while kill somebodys (but that not russians bombed herasima and nagasaki, Yugoslaviya, and we haven`t army in iraq, affgan, Livia), america in chase of peace destroy by bombing half world and continuing "PEACEing(bombing)" world...

nato millitary machine need adversary, and massmedia fabricate it (ussr, russia terroris) i willing to somebody turn-off tv and see around not on massmedia seen :)

[jadams1636]

i hope the Hugo chavez loves his children. and ours

[123456RaulMorales]

I hope Puerto Ricans love their children too,because Eliezer Martinez Alvarez did not love his own children nor the children of Pennsylvannia,because Ines Navedo did not love the two kids back in 1992,because there is still no justice for Lorenzo Gonzalez Cacho and because the barbarous and murderous analfabestia Eliezer Marquez Navedo did not love Sarah Kuszak nor his own kids

[killsdazombies]

A great song with dozens of historical (or depending on the time, current) references, My favorite is the reference to Robert Oppenheimer, and the invention of the atom bomb. Great song, and great video. (especially the end, Jesus Christ that's a huge difference.)

[andrey316575a]

if it did u would be speacking russian

[WhatsTheDeal10]

You expect americans to know about russia? Fuck most know little about canada or mexico.

[TheUnforgotten9]

J'adore cette chanson!!!

[AmandaPanda194]

Know this, World, I, yes I, called the defeat of communism by Capitalism in ...wait for it  1962. BOO YA

[Ronnymancilla]

poor stupid: probably you dont understn´what really mean that..read a bit of real story

[123456RaulMorales]

Russophobia is the fear,the hatred and the despise towards Russians.

[mauroprovatos]

Sting didn't wonder if US loved Japan's children,that's for sure.

[716olli716]

@mauroprovatos

why should he wonder? it had already happened..

it's only normal he's focusing on the cold war now that could have turned out a nucleair war..

[TheGeekForTDI]

Where did you find the pictures from 1:19 to 1:52?

[Rubycon99]

@TheGeekForTDI DEFCON. It's an awesome game

[dragongirl1801]

@thewriter1008 I agree with you and Bosenko, Americans hit to much on Russia, but what is are reasons? Think on that.. If you look in the world news today, not just American and Russian but the whole world that involves both parties, you will find that what America and other countries are trying to do to help the world Russians oppose what miost of the rest of the world does. If someone can tell me a very good reason I might actually care about the Government in Russia. p.s. Freinds russian ;)

[Bosenko]

You know i am russian israeli and i want to say that u american stupid u think that russians want war? u foght in ww1 ww2 koria vitnam afganistan iraq and just for oil and ur politics Aidiology so dont tell to rusians about wars

[thewriter1008]

@Bosenko Oh, I agree. We Americans are rather spoiled - we've only fought two wars on our own soil. We bicker over things that don't truly matter as people lose their homes every day. Corporate powers take advantage of people everyday. We're extraordinarily lucky in our privileges, but we've let a lot of our values slip. I don't blame you for thinking we're idiots; a lot of us are, and those idiots are the most vocal. It's funny how maturity is a state achieved by so few.

[cbreezyzhunny]

@Bosenko

I am American & I totally agree.

[leonardoc14]

Yep It is the truth!!!!!

[leonardoc14]

hey dont be stupid, be afraid of americans better!!

I love Russia I love people there. for example, I have never seen a Russian movie where is an american the bad guy!! but in every american movie always is a Russian the bad guy. open your eyes people!! Russia is a peaceful country. We can say the Same about the U.S.?

[marine5289]

@leonardoc14 the U.S. sucks comrade

[aldrickbarber35]

The Russians are a beautiful people who have been messed with too much! All of their wars have them as the defending party. They know music, drama, and emotion. They are like all of us. Don't go judging them for being heartless, war-mongering, war-loving fools. They are not. The people have gone through alot. Just becasue the leader of the country is horrible, it does not reflect on the views and emotions of the people.

[chris42259]

@aldrickbarber35 AMEN! The same can be said of the American people now too.

[123456RaulMorales]

@aldrickbarber35 I totally agree with you.

[Metakism]

STING GENIUS ! !

[weeronnie1]

sting one of the best singers from the days of the police

[proudtobedutch100]

little boy : 0,018 megaton TNT (USA)

fat man : 0,021 megaton TNT (USA)

TSAR BOMBA : 57 megaton TNT (Sovjet union)

[anisocoro]

This is a courageous song, in a period during which reagan and M.Tatcher made a race about who was the most offensive leader in the World. That time there was actually too histerya, Sting was right

[ymkkdm]

Great video you made:) It remnids of me those cold time of the world.I hope that the world share the same biology only in order to create a harmony in peace:) Thanks for sharing. Love from Tokyo

[TheCKcustoms]

its just russians

[frankqio]

awesome song !

[KOBsCloud]

United States is the only country in the whole world that used its mass destruction weapons offensively. Remember that

[pullmyfingerr]

@KOBsCloud Not true, Sadam Husein used VX agent against minorities. VX is a WMD.

Remember that.

[cjinsd]

@KOBsCloud Ever hear of WWI? People who don't learn from history are bound to repeat it. Statistically, the lesson will solve you.

[KOBsCloud]

@cjinsd Oh my apology - atomic/nuclear bombs (not all weapons of mass destruction).

[gabeparkeroneone]

@KOBsCloud but you forget that the nuclear bomb that was tested by the soviets was 4000 times more powerful than what was dropped on nagasaki and hiroshima. Plus we only used the nulear bombs after being blindsided by the japanese in Peal Harbor and due to the determination of the japanese in combat the only way to force them to surrender would be a catacalysmic event such as that.

[gabeparkeroneone]

@KOBsCloud Honestly if a country is going to have a final question on every high school students exam be, " What is the best way attack america," they kind of have it coming to them.

[tonicokorps]

russians=assassins

[BackProds]

game name on 1:38 ??

[jbfirstdown22]

@BackProds I think its called Defcon

[atomicbreaker]

Sigh, when I went to russia recently I was constantly reminded of their long and Brutal history in the form of war memorials. Remember the soviet Union lost 27 million souls in the second world war, compared with 650,000 British and American war dead combined. That's 41 times the casualties. It makes you hope for a Brighter future for russia. I truly hope that happens to them.

[rusnache]

Ohhh, Mr. Krushchev said „We will bury you is only bad translation. He say that Komunism will bury Kapitalism. But everybody is free to think what he want.

[secretspazz]

Of course russians love their children too. God. -.-

[iluvmyuzi]

Don't you get the point?

The song is about the nuclear weapons of russia, and if the use them on the west, will the west throw back with nuclear weapons, so sting means to say like; i hope that the russians are smart, and think what would happen if they use nuclear weapons.

[Fraenky83]

Beautiful song! In the end we are all humans!

[MrREZZAK]

боитесь,боитесь суки, предет новое время,опять будете бояться,с васм по другому к сожаление нельзя,только силу понимаете.

[VlamisRU]

those who blame Russians for everything, should discover and remember who made and supported wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Kosovo etc.

in every case figures the name of the USA (+UK in the background always), and many EU countries in coalition, but there is no Russia there. so who killes people now? and you are just drawing possible conclusions about the nuclear weapons skipping the blood spread in many countries now, at the moment.

and we live now, not in the past. do you?

[hieverybodydavid]

I agree wih abbys, russians are hated on way too much. Its an instant stereotype that russians are war loving idiots, and its simply not true

[marine5289]

@hieverybodydavid aint that the truth its certain germans like my self that are war loving idiots.

[Underside1]

@hieverybodydavid

You right man. When we will conquest USA we will be very peacefull. ))

[123456RaulMorales]

@hieverybodydavid I totally agree with both you and abbys Russians are hated on way too much.This kind of hatred is called Russophobia.

[Mrgalacticone]

@hieverybodydavid I second that motion, and I'll go out on a limb to say that the russians not only make the best vodka, but their ways on drinking are superb, as a sidenote, Polish Vodka isn't that bad either.

[testament707]

@hieverybodydavid they are hated only in north america... in southern america, europe and rest of world they are more loved than U.S. by most of ppl... and in my country i dont know anyone who would chose america over russia... all that is only coz russians didnt kill millions of civilians in act of peace like americans...

[paulbarraza]

@testament707 read your russian WW II history and see how many civilians the Russians killed and Gerrman captured soldiers

[LiallisVladik]

@hieverybodydavid I agree. It is the Western propagation. Sting He has understood the first

[mindsoulbody]

@hieverybodydavid America hates russians, Indians hate pakistanis, Bangladeshi hates pakistanis, chinese hates japanese, japanese hates koreans, black and white hatred, muslim vs hindu hatred, christian vs islam hatred; the list goes on. One thing is very clear though: THE WORD "HATRED". One of the six vices...that will corrupt mankind regardless of his religion,race,location. Anger,Hatred, Jealousy,Lust,Greed,Pride.We fight others, we don't fight the most fearsome enemy:Our own selves.

[Abbyssalom]

Russians are the most heartful and hospitable people in the whole world.Our government,that we elect is the only one that we can choose from the variety of other villains....We can spend evenings swearing about them,but,guess what,if you are a foreigner who dare to say anything bad about our politicians,you'll get your teeth knocked out.This is the difference between russian people and those bloody americans who swore Bush onevery corner of the Earth...

[neonselleri]

Wonderful song.

[sirjakeblues]

it´s not "historical president", it´s "historical presidence"

lol

[chebyrashka100]

actually it's "historical precedent" - as in something that occured before. he had it right in his posting.

[muffincat3000]

yeah, you tell him!

[arthur2sheds11111111]

We share the same biology, regardless of ideology - brilliant lyrice up there with the best

[katinzone]

Actually I love this song very much --- except for the lyrics.

Sting practically suggests the Russians did not like their children. Well, how could anyone suggest that millions of individuals did not love their children just because they live in Russia?

The song is a product of the Cold War when the West vilified everything "communist" and defined the "East Block" as the evil without the slightest attempts to differenciate between people and politics and political action and political reaction.

[VlamisRU]

do the people who has launched McDonald's and especially allow the "Happy Meal" in it love their children? it exists almost in every country and is publically allowed. no matter of being a kind of slow death to the whole world which is worse than any nuclear danger!

[migkiller001]

What is the stereotypical nonsense about Americans and McDonalds? I am an American, I eat at McD's maybe once or twice a year. If anyone makes an argument against the US and their main point involves the shortcomings of McDonald's they need serious help. Also, anyone who thinks that a Big Mac is more dangerous than a nuclear missile packed with MIRVs is an imbecile.

[VlamisRU]

no one tells you eat there. you do export it to every place of the world, and the rules to play in the world you support (your "democracy"), plus the fake World (anti-)Health Organisation make this shitрlace McDonald's still existing, no matter that it was proven that it leads to serious health problems and all ingridients there are genetically modified what affects body's health as well and provokes allergies. not telling about the children eating this POISON called "food" by idiots.

[VlamisRU]

adding about your World (anti-)Health Organisation, search internet for the proven facts of it putting poisons in the bodies of people of poor counties while vactination, it happend in Mexico, Philippines and Africa. they create some hysteria like "swine flu", then then vactinate people with the poison which leads to impossible carrying of a pregnancy in the future, because they need to cut the number of world's population.

this is who are the real evil to all mankind!

[Boukephalas]

@VlamisRU

iraq has nuclear bombs!!! :-)

know is jemen the home of the terrorists!!! :-)

[Boukephalas]

@Boukephalas

the USA are only the good who want to help us all :-)!!!

[AncientStoryteller]

@Boukephalas LOOOL

[NimrodVortex]

I think you have taken it too literally. its a rhetorical question as to whether the russians love their children too. Hes saying that they do, and thats the main hope we have (or had) back then that nothing nuclear would happen.

[ShiBaa070]

no it is a rhetorical question.

he dont choose a side.

[ShiBaa070]

and moreover the music used for this song is based on a classic russian song.

[tashtanbelora]

Четкая песня моладец Стинг, Уважене мое тебе.

Really good song, My respect to you Sting

[ZeightS]

May Peace be with you ALL ! :)

[occor7]

kommt schon leute, ist das euer ernst? wieso hängt das denn bitte von den russen ab? ich denke , hier haben andere nationen mehr dreck am stecken!

aber natürlich werden russen immer als geistesamputierte kriegsüchtige dargestellt,was für ein bullshit!!! nur damit andere besser dastehen?

[katinzone]

Sehe ich auch so.

Wenn man sich alleine mal anguckt, was die Amis politisch in Ossetien/Georgien-Konflikt abgezogen haben, dann muss man sich schon fragen, was eigentlich die Grundsätze sind, mit denen die Amis ihre Außenpolitik betreiben.

Irak, Afghanistan, Pakistan muss man auch mal drüber nachdenken.

[byci]

very impressive the final graphic comparing the tzar bomb with, for example, hiroshima.

Thanks for the video

[Onebody02]

it's Russians not Russains ! :o

[ZER0GRAV1TY69]

Great where u get the pic at

2:07?

[Jets162]

at 1:25 what is that

[raptormaster666]

It looks like a section from the movie War Games.

[SolernX]

Hey, thanks. I wasn't expecting anyone to actually find this. I originally made it as a school project, and have a version without the crappy text overlay that I'll be posting up later.

[hackroute]

thx for song

[zebestever]

perhaps you could improve this by having the writing in a different colour? still very good though.
