“Thus, as in the colonial era 200 years ago, the United States continues to consider Latin America as a zone of its exclusive interests, its own backyard,” the diplomat said.
In this regard, according to Zakharova, it is unclear what the United States is doing in the Eastern Hemisphere.
“Perhaps they believe that the people of this part of the world have feelings of gratitude when Washington, at its discretion, changes their leaders, killing disagreeables. Or the United States believes that people are waiting for the Americans to bring democracy to them on the wings of their bombers. This can be learned from Iraqis, Libyans, Serbs, ”she concluded.
Earlier, Zakharova commented on the statements of high-ranking American officials, as well as representatives of the OAS general secretariat about “Russian interference” in the internal affairs of Venezuela.
Also, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, Jorge Arreas, announced attempts by the American authorities to intervene in Caracas’s military-technical cooperation with Moscow.
