Cuba Charges U.S. Moving Special Forces, Preparing Venezuelan Intervention

BATTLE FOR WORLD / YAHOO | February 14, 2019:

The article highlights that Cuba announced on Thursday (February 14) that the United States was secretly moving special forces closer to Venezuela as part of a plan to intervene in the South American country using the pretext of a humanitarian crisis.

The “Declaration of the Revolutionary Government” of the Republic of Cuba said that recent events in the country of Venezuela amounted to an attempted coup that had so far failed.

But the U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has been trying to pressure the elected Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to step down and hand over power to the western unilaterally supported Juan Guaido, the head of Venezuela’s National Assembly front.

The western selected president Guaido invoked a constitutional provision to assume the presidency three weeks ago (in January), arguing that Maduro’s re-election last year was a sham. And the announcement to support Guaido has led the United States to impose drastic sanctions against Maduro’s government causing damage “1000 times greater” than the aid it is trying to force on the country.
