Venezuela denounces military provocation by Trinidad and Tobago in coordination with the CIA to provoke a war in the Caribbean
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela denounces to the international community the dangerous conduct of military exercises by the Government of Trinidad and Tobago between the 26th and 30th of this month, under the coordination, financing and control of the United States Southern Command, an action that constitutes a hostile provocation against Venezuela and a serious threat to the peace of the Caribbean.
Venezuela reports that it has captured a mercenary group with direct information from the US intelligence agency, CIA, being able to determine that a false flag attack is underway from waters bordering Trinidad and Tobago or from Trinidad or Venezuelan territory itself, which will generate a complete military confrontation against our country.
This planned action perfectly evokes the provocations of the Battleship Maine and the Gulf of Tonkin, which gave rise to the war against Spain to seize Cuba in 1898, and which allowed the authorization of the US Congress to engage in an eternal war against Vietnam in 1964, respectively, from which they emerged defeated by the Vietnamese people after facing incalculable destruction and human losses. regrettable.
The Government of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has renounced the sovereignty of Trinidad and Tobago to act as a military colony subordinate to hegemonic American interests, converting its territory into a United States aircraft carrier for the war throughout the Caribbean against Venezuela, against Colombia and against all of South America.
By bowing to Washington’s militarist agenda, Persad-Bissessar not only intends to attack Venezuela – a country that has always maintained a policy of energy cooperation, mutual respect and Caribbean integration – and break our historical ties of brotherhood, but also violates the Charter of the United Nations, the proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace approved by CELAC and the principles of CARICOM, which protect all the peoples of the Caribbean. These are not defensive exercises: this is a colonial operation of military aggression that seeks to turn the Caribbean into a space for lethal violence and US imperial domination.
This policy of surrender and betrayal of the constitutional principles of Trinidad and Tobago has ended up hitting the people themselves, a tribute to: innocent fishermen have been victims of extrajudicial executions in the Caribbean Sea, revealing the repressive and criminal nature of the current government, which shoots at its own people under the call “kill them all”, and celebrates that Trinidadians are summarily executed while opening the doors to troops murderous foreigners
Venezuela does not accept threats from any US vassal government. We are not intimidated by military exercises or war cries. The Bolivarian National Armed Forces will remain alert and mobilized in perfect Popular-Military-Police union in the face of this very serious provocation. Our Republic, heir to Bolívar and Chávez, will always defend its sovereignty, its territorial integrity and its right to live in peace to Foreign enemies and their vassals.
