a global generation that won't be storming any beaches or cities would be a blessing for the world

imagine a generation in russia that just keeps doing what they do instead of listening to an old psychopath in Moscow who decides that it would be "good" to send hundreds of thousands to their deaths to bring death and destruction to millions of others

being peaceful is not a shame!

Yeah but... they seemed to not have realized that it would be THEM being used as cannon fodder. They thought they could just reap the benefits without having to lift a finger. It was going to be "repeal and then replace", and then once they swallowed that line, it reeled them in when it was too late to pull back.

i.e. they were promised peace - the territorial expansion was only supposed to last 3 days and that hardly counted in their eyes - and did not realize that by having elected Putin, it was already too late.

Song

Translation

How much years unending

Slaughters inhumane

On children fall from sky

Bombs as bunch of anger

Tanks' place is in museums

Let them quietly rust there

Body of mother is scarred

Warriors' place is in romance

Wars are not glory

Groans in bloody mess

Tears, dirt on uniform

Wars don't have a place in the world

Tanks' place is in museums

Let them quietly rust there

In tales of old empires

People don't belive anymore

"Homo homini lupus est" is what we said when

Voice of reason was silent in world and war raged everywhere

When lives were worthless, people were seen only as soldiers

And entire world was turning to burning hell

Why didn't we become smarter Isn't it's time already

To understand as a matter of fact that more important

For hammer of war to stop clutter

Tanks' place is in museums

Let them quietly rust there

Even as toys

Kids don't need to know them
