From the state of Aragua, Diosdado Cabello, Vice President of the Sector for Policy, Citizen Security, and Peace, stated that those who enter the country with the goal of "solving" the situation will have to face a 100-year war.
He emphasized that "if they ever set foot here in Venezuela, they should prepare for a 100-year war. They should know that after 100 years, we Bolivarians will be the victors: it will be the homeland, and they should be very clear about that. Whoever attempts to attack our country is earning themselves a 100-year war. We must be relentless in defending the homeland."
Dressed in a field uniform, Cabello noted that they are in an organizational phase with the FANB and warned that those who are part of the militia should be proud of what they are experiencing.
From the "Abelardo Mérida" barracks, Captain Cabello emphasized that "through the United States' psychological battlefield, they seek to divide the revolutionary forces." However, he warned that they will not succeed, as it is "impossible at this stage of the game."
"It's not about instilling fear in anyone," he indicated. "We Venezuelans are not afraid. They don't even scare us if they're set on fire. But we must be prepared for whoever it is, whatever their name is, wherever they come from. We must be able to fulfill the fundamental task of protecting our country, and whoever messes with Venezuela will pay dearly," he emphasized.
"We will be relentless in the defense of the homeland," he asserted, noting that only 3% of Venezuelans would support an attack against their country.
"What does that mean? That there are many Venezuelans who, without belonging to the Revolution, without being Chavistas by training, say: don't touch my country, you won't mess with my country, if you mess with my country, you'll find me right in front of you. It has managed to foster a feeling of love for the country," he noted.
He said that American "supremacists" are "miscalculating" and are being swayed by those promoting an invasion of the country.
After addressing the militiamen, Captain Cabello led the training instructions in the field.
VENEZUELA IS RESPECTED. WE ARE NOT ANYONE'S BACKYARD, AND OUR MINING AND WATER PROPERTIES ARE FOR THE VENEZUELANS.
