No. This is something we must combat. The actual truth is that many of the things we’re seeing, like the liberation of so-called ‘‘political prisoners’’ that began back in December, the selling of oil to the US which had been going for over 100yrs, and everything that’s currently happening in Venezuela was already planned for by Maduro. There has been no capitulation, the institutions are still under the Bolivarian Government, and they’re in control of the territory.
I think for us, the shock of this event has filled us with rage, with indignation, and those feelings are pure, they’re righteous. But, I’ve been looking at the result of this. Where are we now? We lost over 100 people over there unnecessarily, now imagine if the FANB had struck back in full or gone all in, those numbers would have been higher, and I think that’s what Maduro understood. He gave himself in after his security was killed, in order to end the invasion as swiftly as possible and avoid more deaths. I know, it’s one of those moments in history that I hope we don’t have to look back on and say: ‘‘See? They should have fought, bro!’’. I don’t think it will be. The preservation of peace and continuity of the revolution are far more important than throwing some thousands of lives or perhaps millions if the war got hot. So we’re denging, biding our time and all that while we try to get Maduro back.
We need to do to Americans what they did to our people with those signs they used to put up in places where it said: ‘‘No Chinese, No Puertorricans, No Blacks, No Dogs Allowed’’ and watch them seethe.
