Cuban President Diaz-Canel: “We Are Prepared To Give Our Blood” For Venezuela Against “Fascism And Imperial Barbarism”
Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel reacted Saturday to the U.S. capturing Cuba’s close ally, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro during a rally in Havana. “Cuba condemns and denounces these actions as an act of state terrorism,” Diaz-Canel said. “This is not your backyard, nor a disputed territory. We do not accept or recognize the Monroe Doctrine, nor outdated kings or emperors.”
MIGUEL DIAZ CANEL: The very dark object of imperialist desire is Venezuelan oil, the lands and natural resources of Venezuela. No, imperialists. This is not your backyard, nor a disputed territory. We do not accept or recognize the Monroe Doctrine, nor outdated kings or emperors. For Venezuela and, of course, also for Cuba, we are prepared to give even our own blood, even our own lives. We will make them pay a very high price. These are not times for half measures; these are times for defining our stance and taking a stand against fascism and imperial barbarism. Down with imperialism!
