Sting, "Russians" (1985)

[media=https://youtu.be/wHylQRVN2Qs]
I remember the world and the Cold War atmosphere when this song first came out and how profound these lyrics were back then.
It’s still a powerful song, indicative of its time, and in many ways even more relevant—but now it seems just a bit naive. Do the Russians "love their children (too)" ?
For that matter, do the Americans ? 😳

The lyrics are just as profound and powerful now, to me anyway. There are, of course, the same kind of threats from those who care more about revenge and or power...than their or
anyone's children. 😓
