How the Cold War Never Ended: The Silent Continuation of a Global Rivalry. The last phase of the Cold War was in 1991 with the fall of the Soviet Union, and many felt that the world had entered a new phase of peace and collaboration. It seemed that ideological conflict between capitalism and communism was finally resolved and liberal democracy was not going to be challenged. But decades later, the tensions of geopolitics, the proxy wars, the intelligence activity and the ideological antagonisms indicate that the Cold War did not actually disappear, it transformed.

How Media Manipulates Public Opinion During War: Propaganda, Fear, and the Battle for Narrative War is fought on battlefields, but it is also fought in newspapers, on television screens, and across digital platforms. Governments understand that public opinion can determine whether a war continues or collapses. Media institutions—whether independent, state-controlled, or influenced by political power—play a decisive role in shaping how citizens perceive conflict. During wartime, information becomes a strategic weapon. Selective reporting, emotional framing, repetition of official narratives, and suppression of dissent can gradually influence how societies think, react, and justify violence. To understand how media manipulates public opinion during war, we must examine propaganda techniques, censorship systems, emotional framing, misinformation campaigns, and real historical events where media shaped or distorted public perception.
