A pretext for military action against Venezuela is brewing

by Ed Newman

As the Revolutionary Government warned on September 18, the escalation of actions by the United States government to justify military aggression against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has continued and is increasing.

The extraordinary buildup of military assets in the Southern Caribbean, the recent illegal incursions of US combat aircraft into a Venezuelan Flight Information Region, the repeated destruction of civilian vessels and the murder of their crews, and the announcement that military actions of this nature would be transferred to land areas, are complemented by the notification that the United States is engaged in a non-international armed conflict against unlawful combatants.

This unusual notification, which attempts to legitimize and justify larger-scale military actions, could constitute a pretext for military action against Venezuela, in violation of the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and international law.

A direct military aggression against Venezuela would unleash an armed conflict with incalculable consequences for the peace, security, and stability of Our America.

We reiterate Cuba’s firm and unwavering support for the Bolivarian and Chavista government of Venezuela and for the Popular and Military Unity of the Venezuelan people. Military aggression must stop to preserve peace in Latin America and the Caribbean.
