Many Ukrainians felt it inappropriate that the secretary of state was rocking out at all, given that, in their view, Washington’s tardiness is largely to blame for their struggles on the battlefield against Russia.
Ukrainians were not the intended audience of this political stunt. The target audience was Americans, to drum up feelings of jingoism and nostalgia for the empire. And in that aspect, this stunt has worked well. It’s like playing born in the USA at pro war American political rallies. The lyrics don’t matter, it’s about the optics.
