Two years ago, we had published a similar article on various myths that persist in people's minds about the Russia- Ukraine War and that somehow Ukraine and the West are to be blamed for it. All those myths were busted then and there. This article will look into myths that came up recently, ever since Trump's campaigning for the US elections 2024 started, and how Trump planned to end the current war, largely blaming Zelensky for prolonging the war, colluding with Biden, Kamala and others "Warmongering" Democrats.  Credits- ABC News LINK To Newscapsule of February 2025 We are three years into the current Russia-Ukraine War.

Image
Note:- This article is solely for the purpose of education and awareness.  Immigration has always remained a controversial political issue across the world in recent times, especially in the West. The 2024 US elections had the discussion of immigration as one of the central narratives. At its heart was the debate on Illegal immigration. This issue was successful in bringing down the Biden Administration so badly that even Democrats lost the popular vote and all the swing states.  The words Illegal immigrants and Undocumented immigrants were talked about extensively largely indicating that both are kind of the same.
