Cuba has been warning about the growing escalation of the United States government against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the clear goal of which is to overthrow the constitutional government of President Nicolás Maduro Moros and install a subservient government that will place oil, other important natural resources, and even the sovereignty of that sister nation at the disposal of the United States.
Following the illegal destruction at sea of vessels allegedly dedicated to drug trafficking, but of unknown composition and destination, and the murder of their crew members, the threat of the use of force against Venezuela increases with the announcements of a new phase of escalation that would include military actions against land targets.
The pretexts used for this extraordinary and irrational military deployment by the United States are unfounded and based on falsehoods. It cannot be legally or morally accepted in any way that these pretexts serve as the basis for perpetrating military aggression against a sovereign state. The dangers to the peace, security and stability of Our America are real and imminent.
The Venezuelan government has warned of a failed plan to attack the United States Embassy in Caracas with explosives, organized by a sector of the Venezuelan far right, seeking a pretext for US military forces at sea to act in response to the alleged terrorist attack against its diplomatic headquarters. This would not be the first time the United States has resorted to this type of maneuver to justify military aggression.
War promoters, such as the current Secretary of State and anti-Cuban congressmen from Florida, irresponsibly threaten to unleash US military power against a sovereign nation of Our America, as if it were a neighborhood police raid.
Cuba calls again to mobilize the international community to stop any military action against Venezuela.
Once again, we declare our firm and unwavering support for the Bolivarian and Chavista government of Venezuela and for the Popular and Military Unity of the Venezuelan people. Latin America and the Caribbean must remain a Zone of Peace.
