The US intends to manufacture a humanitarian pretext to initiate military aggression against Venezuela.
The Government of Cuba denounced Wednesday, through a statement, the escalation of pressures and actions of the US Government in preparation for military action under the guise of humanitarian intervention in Venezuela, and called on the international community to mobilize in order to prevent consummation.
“Between Feb. 6 and 10, several military transport aircraft have been flying to the Rafael Miranda Airport in Puerto Rico; the San Isidro Air Base in the Dominican Republic and other Caribbean Islands that have a strategic location, most certainly without the knowledge of the governments of those nations,” Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affair (Minrex), stated and added that “these flights took off from US military facilities from where Special Operation Troops and US Marine Corps units operate.”
US National Security Adviser John Bolton and the Director of the National Security Council’s Office of Western Hemisphere Affairs Mauricio Claver-Carone, counting on the connivance of the Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio, designed the attempted coup d’etat in Venezuela by means of the illegal self-proclamation of an interim president.
The characters, personally or through the State Department, are pushing governments in order to force their support the arbitrary call to new Venezuelan presidential elections, while promoting the recognition of the illegal self-proclaimed interim president. However, due to the Bolivarian people’s resistance to a coup, which has been demonstrated in massive marches supporting President Nicolas Maduro, the U.S. intensified its coercive economic measures against Venezuela.
the United States is paving the way to establishing “a humanitarian corridor” under “international protection,” invoking the “obligation to protect” civilians and applying “all necessary measures.” The United States adopted similar behaviors and pretexts in the prelude to the wars it launched against Yugoslavia, Iraq and Libya.
