Facts vs Fiction

World War II began with an American 303 rifle, but eventually the United States dropped an atomic bomb. After 37 years of silence, in 1982, Britain's bravest war began in Europe's first war, which resulted in the occupation of the Falkland Islands in Argentina. Post-Cold War Europe's second war was fought between Russia and Georgia and Abkhazia became part of Russia. In 2014, the third European war broke out on the Crimean peninsula. On one side was Ukraine, backed by Europe, Britain and the United States, and on the other, Russia was alone. Crimea is now the part of the Russian Federation.

The recent Ukraine-Russia war has shaken the entire West, including Europe. An old friend of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson says Boris deliberately pretends to be a fool so that his political rivals keep repeating the mistake of underestimating him. It has also been heard about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that he practices his pose regularly. Then there are politicians who were actors before they became active in politics. Zelensky, Ukraine's time-war leader and young President, was once a theater actor and comedian. Acting on a comedy show on Ukrainian TV, he became popular, and then the same wave of popularity took him to power.

At the moment, it is "not difficult" to distinguish between fact and fiction. There is a clear contradiction in the statements of the Ukrainian authorities. On the one hand, Zelensky claims that the "Ukrainian army dominates the Russian forces, and in 10 days, 9,000 Russian soldiers have been killed". Zelensky, on the other hand, appears to be appealing to NATO and Western powers that Russia "genocide Ukraine" and that the West should come to its aid immediately. The comedian-leader sometimes says that the Russian army is disillusioned with retreats and is looking for a way to escape.

However, in the case of Ukraine, the United States and NATO have been badly defeated. This is not the first time, the United States has ridiculed Cuba, Vietnam and Afghanistan. Russian President Vladimir Putin has slammed the world's most powerful and prosperous military group. Countries that broke away from Russia and joined NATO will now get their goose bumps. They may be afraid that their turn will come after Ukraine. How shocking is the statement of US President Joe Biden that his troops will only protect NATO countries as he will not send troops to Ukraine. Putin first divided Ukraine into three parts, and then he sent his "Peace Corps" to NATO countries. If the NATO countries were that much powerful, they would immediately send their troops there to protect the sovereignty of Ukraine, but their peeping surprised the whole world. The threats that the US and NATO have been making so far have been nothing more than pure vultures. The US Central Intelligence Agency already claimed that Russia was preparing for an attack on Ukraine, so Biden and his Secretary of Defense cannot say that Russia's attack on Ukraine was sudden. Its far-reaching effects are that the United States has given Russia the opportunity to become a new world power. Ukraine thought that the United States was its protector, but it was the United States that killed Ukraine. If the United States had not put it on bamboo, its President Zelensky would have made some compromise with Putin in any case, and this catastrophic turn would not have come. The leaders of Germany and France tried to mediate but failed, as both countries are key pillars of NATO and NATO is ready to make Ukraine its member, which is the root cause of the conflict.

India could also play the role of mediator in this whole dispute, which he kept appealing to both the parties for peace. However, India alone cannot be counted in this effort as there were many countries who gave the same advice. News of a meeting between Prime Minister Imran Khan and Russian leaders who visited Moscow at the end of February shows that Pakistan had also demanded that diplomacy be given a chance. Diplomacy should be resolved. He said that the conflict is not in anyone's interest and developing countries are badly affected economically in such a conflict so the issue should be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy. The statements made by the Indian government are nothing but hoax. World analysts and experts have been saying for the past several weeks that India must take an initiative. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Putin, "Well done, but if he had done the same thing with Biden a month earlier, it would have cost him something more." Ukraine's ambassador to India had appealed to Prime Minister Modi to talk to the Russian President. However, he also expressed his displeasure over India's position. Now India's honor lies in the fact that its 20,000 students and diplomats are safe in Ukraine and we can bear the rising oil prices. According to a statement from Prime Minister Modi's Office, I apprised Modi of the latest situation while Prime Minister Modi emphasized that the parties can resolve their differences through dialogue. The United States has been in constant contact with India over the Ukraine issue and has called for full support from New Delhi, but it appears that the two countries are not on the same page on the Ukraine conflict. Questions from the media about India's position on the Ukraine issue were avoided, but in a behind-the-scenes conversation, US officials expressed their displeasure over India's position on the Ukraine conflict. In India, where there is concern over the Russian invasion, New Delhi does not want to jeopardize its close ties with Russia.
