Taking another page out of the George Orwell playbook, North Korea's latest propaganda video posted on YouTube shows a U.S. city in flames, presumably after a missile attack from the Hermit Nation.
In Orwell's brilliant novel exposing how totalitarian governments crush the human spirit, "1984," one of the ways regimes maintain control over their people is through propaganda designed to keep citizens constantly in fear of war with foreign aggressors. For decades, the North Korean government has whipped up hysteria over a supposedly looming conflict with the United States and a mother of all battles to reunify the Korean Peninsula.
