Stopping a wounded elephant ...

Perhaps, I see things in a different light.... or perspective or spectrum. I like the amended proverb: 'Enough is never enough'! Plenty of desolate (empty) talk and traditional peace conferences, among the parties involved....that have had zero effect. It is time now, to do away with it. More than enough of begging! The old familiar language must stop right here: Oh! Please, West, stop murdering people. Stop your genocides, And, stop robbing all continents of their resources...Finally, stop enslaving billions on this planet!

Do you see now, where this has all led us or ended up? Nowhere. Absolutely, nowhere! The more people have begged, and the more they have protested...the harder they have been hit, by the West!

Those who have wielded real power in Washington, London and Paris have had no mercy for small people like you and me...the 'children of a lesser god'! They have no sense of justice, because only understand the language of greed and power.

On February 13, 2019, Russia Today had reported:

'The US wagered a claim on half the world, as Senate Armed Services Committee chair, Jim Inhofe said Washington might have to intervene in Venezuela, if Russia dares set up a military base not just there, but 'in our hemisphere.'

Finally, it is now all out, in the open...the good old 'Monroe Doctrine'. In the Western Hemisphere (which is obviously owned by the US), there is not one single 'Latin American' country, where the West has not overthrown their government, where it has not violated the will of the people, where it did not stop socialism taking hold. From the Dominican Republic to Chile!

Can someone please tell me why we have fascism in Brazil, Colombia and elsewhere? Is it simply due to the fact that our left wing leaders have either been murdered, or imprisoned. Agree?

The record of human rights violations is monstrous. The cynicism of what has been going on is equally repulsive.And now, Washington basically has warned Russia and others, in clear worded language: Do not dare to come close and help your friends and allies in the region! Just stay back and watch from a safe distance, how we exploit and tear apart, one country after another.

And if you dare to intervene, we will hit even harder, at those suffering victims. We will not only violate Venezuela....we will kick her with our military boots, we will put bullets through her arms and legs, chain her as we did the African slaves, who built our country, the United States!

We can do it, because Europeans, those colonialists whose blood circulates in our veins, and those South American elites, who are of the same stock as we are, would again sit in their cafes' and on their couches, enjoying the show, applauding us from distance!This should be the last straw. No, no more words, please. Action! This armed robbery, and also this terrorism has to be stopped.

Mr Donald Trump and Senator Jim Inhofe, damn you! People are not cattle and they are certainly not slaves. You may wish they were, but they are not! You did treat them like animals...you fooled them, robbed them of everything; you and your kind, for decades and centuries. But even you yourself must be aware of this, or at least suspect: that all this atrocity has to end; one day...very, very soon!Senator Inhofe has said that a flow of Russian troops or weapons into the Western hemisphere would be deemed as a direct threat to the United States of America.

In the meantime, the United States has continued to draw inspirations, from a different rulebook.The US has maintained nearly 800 military bases in over 70 countries around the globe, with a foothold on every continent. And, while Inhofe desired to keep an entire hemisphere free from Russian influence, the US is currently engaged in talks to establish a permanent military base in Poland, right on Russia's doorstep. Given the long history of animosity between Poland and Russia, the Polish government has offered to cough up $2.0 billion, towards setting up this base.

Further and beyond, no hemisphere is far away from the reach of the United States. The US military has divided the globe, up into six Combatant Command 'Areas of Responsibility,' which it meticulously maintains, in times of peace and war.

In contrast, Russia, meanwhile, has divided its territory into four military zones, all remaining within its own borders.Who had really agreed on this sick double standard? Who had signaled the green light for this terror? Was it France, or Germany, or U.K. or other Western countries, who had been the actual beneficiaries in this game of chess? Is this what China wants, and what India accepts?

Venezuela is a sister nation. It is the sister of Russia and of Cuba, of Iran, Bolivia and even of China.This is truly a decisive moment.

Compromises and weakness of the past had broken the neck of the anti-imperialist struggle; compromises during the Gorbachev and Yeltsin eras had led to the destruction of Afghanistan, of Yugoslavia, Iraq and several other countries. History should never condemn itself, to repeat the same!

It is not the 'raison importante' or significant reason, that can be expected from the West....because this had once controlled the entire world through colonialism, and is now endeavoring to do the same, by way of 'imperialist' thuggery.

If this trend is not arrested, it will again subjugate our entire planet. Russia, Cuba, China, Iran and others need to step out in the open, to defend Venezuela! And, if needed, they must launch a genuine struggle, for it. Self respecting people and nations do not negotiate with brutal and shameless entities. They should not be told by freebooters, what needs to be done and how best to behave in the community of nations. Or, what actions are needed to be taken?

There should be no double standards, anymore, if we want human beings to survive a situation, close to the Armageddon.

For years and over the centuries, the West has been pushing; it is trying to see, how far it can possibly go, and what it can get away with. And, also how far! If it is not stopped, it will take it all to cripple our world. If non-Western countries do not fight for their rights in unison, protecting each other, they will go back to where they used to be - to the days of inglorious slavery.

This is not a fantasy - just take your time to look at the world map that was carved out in the very beginning of the last century! We have already faced this situation on our planet, before.

In Venezuela, if we have to fight, we will be fighting for Johannesburg and Moscow, Beijing and Havana, or Teheran, Damascus and Mexico City. We will be fighting against oppression, slavery and colonialism.Thank you for your honesty, Mr. Inhofe! Your words sounded very familiar: we have heard them before. Again and again...in London, Paris, Berlin and Pretoria.

And this is our response to you: Sir, you are not a global policeman, you are simply a thug, a wounded elephant on the loose, who needs to be stopped! And sooner than later, this humanity will curse you and your bloody imperialist degeneracy will come to its logical end! Good bye!
