Romero: Whoever believes that U.S. threats are only against Venezuela is not reading the geopolitical key

The deputy of the National Assembly (AN) Juan Romero stated that “whoever believes that the threats of the United States are only against Venezuela is not reading the geopolitical code”, during his participation via telephone in the program Without Truco Ni Maña, where he presented a historical analysis of the actions of the US Government and their regional impact.

Romero explained that the recent measures of the Donald Trump administration respond to an imperial line of action that this behavior is based today on what he defined as necropolitics, a concept that he describes as “the intention of a State to decide who lives and who dies, ignoring the rules of international humanitarian law.”

The parliamentarian drew a parallel between the Roosevelt corollary of 1904 against the coast of Venezuela and what he called the Trump corollary, identifying six points of correlation.

He recalled that the Roosevelt corollary emerged after the naval blockade promoted by corporate lobbies in England, Germany and Italy, and that he justified US intervention under the notion of “chronic impotence” or incapacity for self-government.

He explained that, in his opinion, today the US Government is replacing that notion with Roosevelt labels to replace it as the fight against “narco-terrorism” or “illegitimate regime”, with the same objective of justifying actions to intervene in Venezuela.

He added that, just as Roosevelt established himself as an “international police”, the United States Government is now acting with extraterritorial pressure, in an area that does not belong to it, to what he described as a practice that turns the North American country into a “global prosecutor, judge and executioner”.

He stressed that the Roosevelt corollary was based on paternalistic racism, while Trump's current speech incorporates elements of xenophobic supremacy that deny two centuries of independence and the principles of sovereignty and self-determination.

The deputy stressed that the United States has failed to subdue the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) due to its patriotic nature, nor to the Venezuelan people, who, he stressed, have built a historic fortress. He indicated that this resistance is perceived as a threat by the US government, but stressed that Venezuela is a Caribbean country with a conscience, as demonstrated by Commander Hugo Chávez and President Nicolás Maduro.
