STING WAS WRONG: The RUSSIANS DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT THEIR STUPID-ASS KIDS

Back in 1985 or whenever it was, pop singer Sting did a song about how the Russians didn't like war either, because they "loved their kids too," just like people in the West.

In fact, the former frontman for "The Police" even ripped off a bit of Prokofiev and penned some sappy lyrics, and even got a hit from it all, singing lines like:

Mr. Reagan says we will protect you

I don’t subscribe to this point of view

Believe me when I say to you

I hope the Russians love their children too

The whole point of the song was that nuclear war was bad (duh!) and that Russian are "caring, feeling human beings," just like people in the West, who don't want their children to be fried to a crisp in Armageddon!

The lyrics of this 1985 pop song couldn't be more wrong

He "kinda sorta" got away with this garbage, because Russia at the time was, by some weird fluke, temporarily ruled over by a rather decent dude called Mikhail Gorbachev, instead of some genocidal maniac, like it normally is. "Gorby" thought that war sucked, especially if you were Russian, probably because they are so crap at it. 

However, the latest figures out of the Ukraine, showing hundreds of thousands of Russian corpses and nearly a million in total causalities, suggest that Mr. Sting was way off the mark with his dumb lyrics:

These show that the Russians clearly don't give a single flying fuck about their "nearest and dearest," and would probably prefer to see them all turned into hamburger meat at the nearest possible opportunity, just so Putin could claim that he is "de-Nazifying" the Ukraine and they could get an increased gruel ration.
