Lyrics to Springstein's song "The Streets of Minneapolis"
The lyrics to Bruce Springsteen's new song "Streets of Minneapolis"
Through the winter’s ice and cold
Down Nicollet Avenue
A city aflame fought fire and ice
‘Neath an occupier’s boots
King Trump’s private army from the DHS
Guns belted to their coats
Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law
Or so their story goes
Against smoke and rubber bullets
By the dawn’s early light
Citizens stood for justice
Their voices ringing through the night
And there were bloody footprints
Where mercy should have stood
And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets
Alex Pretti and Renee Good
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Trump’s federal thugs beat up on
His face and his chest
Then we heard the gunshots
And Alex Pretti lay in the snow, dead
Their claim was self defense, sir
Just don’t believe your eyes
It’s our blood and bones
And these whistles and phones
Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Crying through the bloody mist
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Now they say they’re here to uphold the law
But they trample on our rights
If your skin is black or brown my friend
You can be questioned or deported on sight
In chants of ICE out now
Our city’s heart and soul persists
Through broken glass and bloody tears
On the streets of Minneapolis
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
The Lyrics of "War" used by Springstein now in his concerts!
Bruce Springsteen lyrics -- Bruce Springsteen shows -- Bruce Springsteen records
Song title: War
(Edwin Starr)War
WarWhat is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War is something that I despise
For it means destruction of innocent lives
For it means tears in thousands of mothers’ eyes
When their sons go out to fight to give their lives
War, what is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, what is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War : it’s nothing but a heartbreaker
War : friend only to the undertaker
War is the enemy of all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
Handed down from generation to generation
Induction destruction
Who wants to die
War, what is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, what is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War has shattered many young men’s dreams
Made them disabled bitter and meanlife is too precious to be fighting wars
each day
War can’t give life it can only take it away
War : it’s nothing but a heartbreaker
War : friend only to the undertaker
Peace love and understanding
There must be some place for these things today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord there’s gotta be a better way
That’s better than
War
War, what is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War, what is it good for
Absolutely nothing

Trump is NOT loyal to NATO therefore NATO is not loyal to Trump
Trump has not protected NATO countries from Russia's attack on Ukraine. NATO countries watch Ukraine slowly being pummeled into the dust over many years. Under other conditions this war would have been over years ago.
However, Putin made a very big strategic mistake trying to take Ukraine and Ukraine has done nothing but embarrass Putin that his big Country with all it's resources cannot take Ukraine or end it's democracy.
So, even though Ukraine is fighting for it's life Putin is also fighting for his life too.
Zelensky says Ukraine is now killing 30,000 to 35,000 Russian Soldiers with Ukrainian built Drones monthly now.
HE doesn't say how many Ukrainian soldiers and civilians are dying monthly from Russian Drones like Russian Versions of Iranian Shahed Drones now built in Russia (which Russia is now sending to Iran to annihilate oil infrastructure in the Middle East.
So, even if Trump leaves the Middle east within a couple of weeks like he says this war (de facto) with Iran and through Iran to it's proxy Russia might never be over now.
There is no assurance whatsover that Russian Drones and missiles won't continue to blow up oil drilling and oil processing facilities throughout the middle east thus making Putin the ONLY person to really benefit from higher oil prices.
What is going to happen to Europe as Putin becomes an Oil Trillionaire and uses that money to destroy Ukraine and all the Countries of NATO?
If you are serious about this subject: "THIS IS WHAT EUROPEANS ARE MOST WORRIED ABOUT RIGHT NOW."
And this is why Europeans hate Trump because he is not loyal to Ukraine or NATO countries.
This is all a disaster for Ukraine and NATO.
PODCASTI knew there were skirmishes between Pakistan and Afghanistan but I didn't know Pakistan had declared war on Afghanistan
The Taliban of Afghanistan have been fighting a border war maybe for years now with Pakistan and were fighting Americans and NATO too until Biden withdrew American Troops after about 20 years or more fighting there. So, now I guess the Taliban have no one to fight at present but Pakistan so Pakistan must have declared war on Afghanistan to try to expand their territory sort of the way ISIS tends to operate too.
