Sting sings his 1985 song ‘Russians’ again about the threat of nuclear war | War Ukraine and Russia

In the text, Sting refers to “Mr. Oppenheimer deadly toy’ very explicitly to the atomic bomb. Oppenheimer was the scientific director of the American Manhattan Project that developed the first atomic bomb. “I have sung this song very little in all those years,” says the singer on Instagram. “Because I thought it would never be relevant again.” Now he wants to make a plea for humanity with the song. “Stop the war”, it sounds.
