Venezuelle President Nicolas Maduro announced on Monday the deployment of 4.5 million militiamen in the country in response to American “threats” in the face of the deployment of American military forces in the Caribbean.
“This week, I will activate a special plan with more than 4.5 million militiamen to guarantee the coverage of the whole national territory. Prepared, activated and armed militias, “said Nicolas Maduro on public television, of which the United States has doubled the award for its capture.
The Venezuelan militia founded by the late President Hugo Chavez, of which Maduro is the successor is, from an official source, made up of some 5 million people, civil or reservists, and is placed under the command of the army.
“Extravagant, incredible and eccentric threats”
Evoking the “rotten heated of extravagant, incredible threats, Washington, Nicolas Maduro also launched” rifles and missiles for peasant strength! To defend the territory, sovereignty and peace of Venezuela […] Missiles and rifles for the working class, to defend our homeland ”.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed last week the deployment of American naval and air forces in the Caribbean for an anti-drug operation shortly after the administration has doubled the award for Nicolas Maduro, accused of being part of a cartel.
“We are also deployed in all the Caribbean […] Who belong to us, in our sea, property, Venezuelan territory, “had retorted the Minister of the Interior Diosdado Cabello.
