Trump and the new imperial order: Venezuela, Greenland and the Middle East
Advertisement
Donald Trump is ripping up the post WWII rule book in his quest for domination of the western hemisphere. How can we stop the drive to war?
About this Event

Trump’s gangster behaviour is causing reverberations around the world as he attacks Venezuela, threatens Iran and threatens to buy or invade Greenland, all since Xmas.

All the time Israel’s murderous genocide against the Palestinian people continues with support from the US, UK and the European Union.

Trump has announced that he intends to increase the US military budget by 50%, taking it to a staggering $1.5 trillion. Europe is responding with a massive rearmament programme of its own and is introducing conscription - so far in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium - and there are moves in that direction in the UK too.

Come and join the debate on where we are in this rapidly accelerating international scene and what we can do to put the brakes on this increasingly frightening situation. The discussion will be led off by Vladimir Unkovski-Korica.
