Russians by Sting - Mr. Shoup's class assignment :-)

I made this music video using Sting's "Russians" in order to help teach a Cold War concept.

Mr. Shoup, could you allow us to embed the video so it works through powerpoint? It would streamline the presentation. Summer school students loved it.

[dshoup18]

@toon40 Sure. Do you need me to do anything to help it work?

[toon40]

Thanks for the hard work, I use it every year during my Cold War unit

[dshoup18]

@toon40 I'm glad you can use it too. It was fun putting it together.

"Am I the only one who wants the USSR back ....."

How quickly we forget, or is it a case of the ignorance of youth? If you are tired of America thinking they are great, look to Europe's failures. Two World Wars started by Europe forced America to the forefront. Being the last man standing, who else was going to keep Europe from mucking it up again or the Soviets from taking all of Europe? Europe can help clean it's imperial messes so we can take a break.

Amen!

Unlimitedg... Mutual assured destruction+ cold war. Why sting sings this... OK he is saying that the Russia, America, and Britain (Stings homeland during the cold war) are in a state that if one shoots the other will shoot. Now sting says he believes in neither sides points of views. Why he doesn't believe in either is because he knows either side would defend themselves and cause mutual assured destruction. It's called Russians most likely then; due to the Russians being the likely shooters.

to mr. Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush jr., Brzezinski, Albright.... etc. You have destroyed my country and all economy in 90''. You have humiliated Russian. Gorbachev was the traitor. I will not forget it.

человек поет на языке сволочей ,которые сравняли с землей хиросиму и сделали немало другого говна не одному десятку народов...."надеюсь что русские тоже любят детей" ,чернушно и циничненко не правда ли?

It would be interesting to me to talk to you. To understand your position. I hope that America consists of people which can think and analyze an event. If it is interesting to you to communicate with Russian write to me and answer. Sorry my englsh.

Its best we dont get into that discussion friend. US and Russia is going though mass geopolitical overt, covert , and proxy clashes with one another as we speak. Each one we're going to have a strong stance to justify our sides motives for it, and will likey accomplish nothing if we play the blame game.

Wen i sad "my country", i mean the USSR. Russia not destroyed now. How you have reacted to installation of Russian systems of antimissile defence and radar in 50 miles from border of the USA???
