New Zeitgeist
99 Luftballons came out in January 1983. Ronnie Raygun was getting ever more aggressive (SDI was announced in March,) and in September, KAL 007 was shot down by the Soviets, killing all aboard. I'm not saying Nena had a palantír that allowed them to see the future, but the fear that something stupid would set off the conflagration was real and not limited to the tin foil hatters.
