Russia and the United States are among the world’s most formidable adversaries. The two are among the world’s superpowers today, and no one wants them to go to war because it may cause global chaos. Even though they have not engaged in a physical conflict, the two have a Cold conflict that will never end.

The Russian embassy in Kenya has issued a statement urging Kenyans to avoid working with the United States because they cannot be trusted. To buttress their claim, the embassy provided a photo from 1975, when the United States flew 3300 newborns from Vietnam to the United States for adoption following the Vietnam War. The project, known as Babylift, aimed to assist thousands of orphaned infants who had lost their parents as a result of the Vietnam War.
