Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is bringing back Cold War anxiety, and thinking the unthinkable is transforming pop culture all over again. Read robsheff on why we’re living in the worst Eighties reboot ever.

in 1980, the same year the Clash were on the radio ranting against atomic doomsday in “London Calling.”

It was there in the go-go scene, where Black artists and dancers in Washington D.C.—the city everybody knew was first on the red-button list—gathered by night to chant Trouble Funk’sWhen the big one drops, it falls on all the party people—the Freak Crew, the Technicolor Crew, the White Boy Crew, the Sugar Grit Crew, and all the other cliques who get shouted out in this song, because everybody’s blowing up together.

robsheff The problem now is the large population of Americans who support Putin’s plan to build back the USSR and the spread of fascist authoritarian rule.

robsheff Cold War ended USSR, new war needs to end putin and his thugs

robsheff The Cold War brought America together as a whole against Communism. This ain’t that. Mainly because of how corrupt Ukraine is, and the fact that many ppl think we shouldn’t even be involved

robsheff Unlike the cold War people in Ukraine are dying everyday of russian rockets and missiles, women,children are assaulted ,schools and domestic areas are destroyed..so it's much worse than cold war, which didn't destroy ussr completely..

robsheff 🤣 ven en como EEUU metió su cuchara en un conflicto q no debió escalonar a guerra🤦🏻‍♀️. Pero la vida gringa debe llevarse a todos lados. Próximamente a Uganda y por qué por el oro😉. Who is the bad guy 🤔

robsheff Rolling Stone forgot that the Cold War was meant to stop the spread of communism. A reboot of the Cold War would have China as the villain.

robsheff Too bad Rolling Stone can't publish a quality magazine with vetted stories in print any more...like they used too..in the 80s !
