Russian President Vladimir Putin put his nuclear forces on high alert. Russia is getting a lot of criticism for invading Ukraine, which is causing a lot of hurt feelings at the Kremlin. On Monday, the Russian government released a list of unfriendly countries. The Kremlin has approved a list of countries who have been “unfriendly” to Russia. They include: Australia, UK, EU countries, Iceland, Canada, Liechtenstein, Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, Korea, San Marino, Singapore, USA, Taiwan, Ukraine, Montenegro, Switzerland, Japan https://t.co/YQi2SPyYJb

The United States and Ukraine made the list, but many people were surprised that tiny nations like San Marino and Lichtenstein were also included.
They had thoughts.
It would’ve been easier to publish a list of countries who have been “friendly” to Russia, but what do I know? 🤷🏼♂️ https://t.co/Db8ajwgavW

A few people thought the list reminded them of a movie, but not a classic like Red Dawn or Cold War.
Specifically Mean Girls.
Others thought Russia was acting like West.
Liechtenstein and San Marino on this list makes it feel a bit like when Kanye said he had beef with Peppa Pig. https://t.co/LyOT8TV0Qj

Some took Russia's side.
Others had questions of their own.
The Ukraine is on this list and is under attack? Does that mean someone else is next? If they choose the USA the list will go away. https://t.co/TF5Bh9hy1W

The list could hurt Russia's relationship with China since it referred to Taiwan as a country, which goes against China's insistence that Taiwan is its territory.
They listed Ukraine...??
And if Russia is such good buddies with China, listing Taiwan as a country is also pretty awkward. https://t.co/BgXWZLi05B

Sting has only rarely sung this song in the many years since it was written, because he never thought it would be relevant again. Sting never used the name of Russian President Putin but said the song was a plea for our common humanity in the light of one man's bloody and woefully misguided decision to invade a peaceful, unthreatening neighbor. The Dream of the Blue Turtles is a track he performed about the Cold War. Ramiro Belgardt has worked on films such as West Side Story and Star Wars. He omitted a couple of lines, which referred to then- President Ronald Reagan, in the updated version of the song.
