It is definitely about the realities of nuclear war with the Soviet Union against the USA. Back in the day, the USA was powerful enough to force the Soviets to back off, which eventually led to tearing down the Berlin Wall and freedom for many millions of people living in Eastern Bloc countries. Nukes are monstrous weapons, but they helped us keep things peaceful for a long time. No world wars since the 1940's. And Men At Work is my favorite group. Very good music writers and performers. I love 'em..
