Moscow has moved its Latin American chips on the board of international geostrategy:

Cuba and Venezuela as a possible castle for Ukraine.

That is the threat from the government of Vladimir Putin, which yesterday spread like wildfire on the continent and even provoked

an urgent reaction from Washington.

So far, Russia has not permanently stationed troops in Latin America, but has

access to bases in Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

The US would respond "decisively" if Russia deploys missiles or military infrastructure in Venezuela or Cuba, said

Jake Sullivan.

For Joe Biden's national security adviser, it would be a "bluff" by

Serguei Riabkov,

Russian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, who has not been perceived as such among the opposition and dissidents of the two Latin American countries.

The first demands from Caracas, Havana and both exiles also received

an almost immediate response from Moscow,

which did not forget its global enemy in its latest statement. "The US will be able to find enough money to solve its problems if it reduces the military presence in Europe or stops allocating billions of dollars to

support impostors like Juan Guaidó,"

said

María Zajarova,

a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The Caribbean is already experiencing a chapter of the "new Cold War", as historian

Armando Chaguaceda defines it.

In principle, nothing to do with the missile crisis, which has already been six decades old.

What has been confirmed for years is the

Russian advance, especially in Venezuela,

after the "withdrawal" caused by the fall of the Berlin Wall.

A situation repeatedly denounced by the democratic Parliament and the presidency in charge of Venezuela, which yesterday alerted the world about "a potential Russian armed intervention in the country."

"What does Russia intend?

Make us part of a conflict that is not even Latin American?

Make propaganda with the stability of the region for geopolitical pretensions that have nothing to do with the hunger of the Venezuelan," Juan Guaidó questioned.

"The Russian deputy foreign minister is unaware of the Venezuelan constitutional provision that prevents the establishment of foreign bases or facilities that have military purposes in our territory. Now, foreign troops could be with the permission of the National Assembly," Rocío San Miguel, president of the National Assembly, told EL MUNDO. Citizen Control for the National Armed Forces.

The interim president took the opportunity to question the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB), which until now

has not intervened in the face of the advance of Colombian guerrillas,

allies of Chavismo, inside Venezuela.

"I want to know what the Armed Forces will say about such an outrage," Guaidó said.

Even NATO considered the situation "worrisome", despite the fact that it is not about its territory, "although I can imagine that there are allied countries that are concerned about such a possibility," said Admiral

Ron Bauer,

president of the military committee.

"Russia develops hybrid wars in which psychological warfare and disinformation operations play a fundamental role. In general, when they carry out a coup, they do not announce it, as in Syria or Crimea...

With this announcement they intend to raise the bid against the West

and establish a red line and blackmail to negotiate. That does not mean that once it is said they cannot do it, "the historian Chaguaceda, a specialist in revolutions, predicted for EL MUNDO.
