YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJames O’Brien reflects on the ‘Orwellian’ nature to Trump’s continued push for dominance of Greenland.
The US president is said to be discussing ‘a range of options’ to take over the Danish territory, not ruling out the use of the military to acquire it.
Trump maintains that control would only be for ’national security' purposes.
James O’Brien likens the plan to something out of George Orwell’s 1949 dystopian novel, ‘1984’.
In particular he points to the 'perpetual war and undiluted propaganda’ in the novel as mirroring the geopolitical climate of today.
As a result of his threats towards Greenland, those praising Trump for the capture of Venezuela’s Maduro, says O’Brien, have now ‘gone quiet’.
