Cubazuela threatens regional security

Cubazuela threatens regional security
JUAN ANTONIO BLANCO | Miami | 9 de Mayo de 2017 - 16:22 CEST.

Foreign political interference and military intervention in Venezuela
are not just theoretical possibilities. They're already happening, and
not coming out of Washington, but rather Havana.

The Venezuelan issue - as well as the Cuban one - is not a moral issue
exclusively because of the brutal and massive human rights violations
perpetrated. The two countries' concerted actions represent a threat to
regional security that needs to be prioritized as such.

We are witnessing an internal conflict between the population and a
dictatorial State. But that domestic confrontation has been
internationalized by the active support lent by thousands of Cuban
military advisers and intelligentsia to Venezuelan narcopoliticians in
that country, joined by thousands of other narcoguerrillas belonging to
the FARC, and cooperation with Islamic terrorists and Iran.

After the scandal for drug trafficking in 1989, the Castro brothers
decided to gradually "outsource" the security risks that this activity
entailed. To this end, they transferred these operations and direct
links to other states and terrorist groups, Latin American and Islamic,
to Venezuelan territory.

The Cuban government has engaged in a genuine externalizationof crime
and terror. Venezuela became Cuba's new "MC" (Convertible Currency)
Department. From there too - with what seemed like an inexhaustible
source of "petrodollars" - there was plotting to promote and/or support
governments sympathetic to Havana in the rest of the hemisphere and to
replace Pan-American institutions with other anti-American ones.

In reality, the battle to re-elect - contravening the Constitution -
Manuel Zelaya was a clash between cartels over the control of Honduras
for drug trafficking to the US. The expulsion of the DEA from Bolivia -
as well as Correa 's complicity with the FARC, whom he allowed access to
his territory, and from whom he received 100,000 dollars for his
electoral campaign, according to narcoguerrilla documents seized from
Raúl Reyes - was carried out amidst much waving of anti-imperialist
flags, but is really part of a scheme between politicians and drug
traffickers that was hatched in Havana and financed by Caracas.

Castro needs the Venezuelan regime to survive, and not only for the
petroleum and the subsidies, but also the shady multimillion-dollar flow
of resources emanating from various criminal activities. These are
assets not accounted for by experts or economists. The criminal sources
emitting this revenue are in Caracas, and it is for this reason - not
for ideological considerations - that Raúl Castro does not hesitate to
aid and abet his Venezuelan puppets and advisers in that country as they
massacre those who dare to denounce the colonial and criminal nature of
that State.

The Cuban-Venezuelan issue is not secondary, nor can it wait until other
sources of threats to international peace and security are addressed
first. We are on the threshold of a major regional conflict, and it is
up to the democratic governments of the hemisphere to immediately launch
an initiative to prevent it, beginning with the withdrawal of all
foreign military or intelligence forces from Venezuela.

General Castro: the blood of those murdered Venezuelans stains your
hands! Don't forget that, because the victims won't.
