“A mistake in Venezuela will be a geopolitical mistake for the international democratic community on a global scale”
PUERTO PADRE, Cuba – Premonitoria, in 2019 the Foundation for Human Rights in Cuba, based in Miami, published Cubazuela, chronicle of the Cuban invasionthe work of a group of journalists and researchers made up of Rolando Cartaya, Juan Antonio Blanco, Luís Domínguez and Casto Ocando, which is, without a doubt, an analysis that these days constitutes essential reading to understand from the historical, sociological and, in short, political science point of view, the complex scenario of transition from authoritarianism to democracy that Venezuela is experiencing today.
I do not want to write, journalistically speaking, a review of this monograph first of all, because the book does not need a cane or crutches to make its way and just by opening it it starts walking by itself, and the reader can check it, the book is on Amazon, or by downloading it at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v9tTaS0Od-ToU5MwH3hq-JHCCEb2Jc/view.
“A mistake in Venezuela will be a geopolitical mistake for the international democratic community on a global scale,” he said. Cubazuelawhen the events were not even remotely in sight from last January 3which led to the capture of Nicolás Maduro and Delcy Rodríguez assuming the interim presidency with the approval of the Trump administration, stating in the book:
“The crisis in Venezuela is being analyzed under false narratives, and the first of these false narratives is to consider the Maduro regime as a dictatorial government when in practice it is a colony of the totalitarian Cuban regime, controlled by a transnational criminal group associated with terrorist organizations such as the FAR, the ELN and Hezbollah.”
Regarding that assertion, I confess. The geopolitical events that have occurred these days from North to South America and across the Caribbean remind me of General Douglas MacArthur, Emperor Hirohito and Japan defeated and occupied by the United States after World War II. But it alarms me, yes, and it makes me doubt the success or failure of this game because it is neither the same game of chess nor the historical context similar, nor do the protagonists of those annals of universal history have similarities in their temperamental or phlegmatic characters with the events that occurred just began 2026 in Venezuela, and whose main characters are President Donald Trump of the United States and Delcy Rodríguez, former vice president of Nicolás Maduro, now interim president of the regime Venezuelan to whom, perhaps, the Trump administration giving priority to intelligence evaluations that characterize Ms. Rodríguez as a “pragmatic” person, has not evaluated that operational situation according to the prism of the booklet Cubazuelawhich goes beyond individual appreciation to encompass an entire destabilizing system in the region for more than 60 years.
As I already said in the article, Cuban military intervention in Venezuela: the dead confirm it“through a combined operation of special forces and United States intelligence, (which, without a doubt for many years will be the subject of study in the military academies of the world) the extraction of the fortress where it was protected took place. by Cuban military in Caracas, Nicolás Maduro Moros, usurper in his country of the 2024 elections and accused of narcoterrorism by the criminal jurisdiction of New York.”
Now we must add that, if the diplomacy of the Trump administration is successful, in the same way that military schools will study Operation Absolute Resolve in its smallest details, without a doubt, also the political science academies of the world will incorporate into their study plans, how, and in what way, an economic and military power of the rank of the United States, did so without militarily occupying Venezuela, make them precisely the same leaders of the despotic regime that bogged down Venezuela in an unprecedented economic and sociopolitical crisis. that country, despite its natural resources that remind us of a Potosí, yes, it is they themselves, the doers of evil, (like in Japan, Emperor Hirohito led by General MacArthur) who lead that fragmented nation, (at least for a quarter) through the first stages of the transition towards democracy, dismantling the vast (due to its disproportionately uncivil) framework of the tyrannical regime founded by Hugo Chávez and Fidel Castro and continued by Nicolás Maduro and Raúl Castro with the material and political support of China, Russia, Iran and guerrilla organizations and international organized crime.
But I said to the journalist Rolando Cartaya when, fraternally, and what a “gift” from Three Kings Day spurred me to write this article, “because it is unknown how the Castro regime took control of a much larger country,” well, I told Cartaya that, “I have my doubts that Delcy Rodriguez do what Trump says.”
A simple prognosis based on precedents from other crises – such as the failure to place nuclear missiles on the island that took Cuba’s defensive lines to Africa – allows us to conclude that, for mere survival, Raúl Castro is not going to accept (for good measure), changes such as those expected by the Trump administration from Mrs. Rodríguez’s “interim office”, never forgetting that if the Cuban military was defeated in Venezuela in the early hours of January 3, even so, the regime’s continental capacity remains intact. Castro-communist totalitarian in its willingness and preparation to generate social, political conflicts and general subversion not only in Venezuela but also in other countries. And to carry out operations like this they have agents of influence “planted” in many places in the world, it is known, even within the United States.
My father said that the quickest way to lose in a fight or in a business deal was when one underestimated the other.
My father, who died at the age of 90, would turn 100 this January 26 and I personally apply that advice from my old man in all the actions of my life, so now, and for public interest, I say that we have lessons left to learn, like that one, in which it has been erroneously said and re-said these days that by ending the Venezuelan regime, Castro-communism ends in Cuba.
No. Castrocommunism is not an ideology. Castrocommunism is a prosaic and transnational slave business disguised as socialism. A modus vivendiwhere classes privileged by totalitarian political power, live at the cost of the miseries of the plebs indoctrinated for consent and applause.
And, as it says in Cubazuela“an error in Venezuela will be a geopolitical error of the international democratic community on a planetary scale”, but never underestimate that by omission, this error would be incubated in Cuba before its emergence in Venezuela.
