Castro has called “repulsive cynicism” accusations against Chavez

The leader of the Cuban revolution, Fidel Castro has called “repulsive cynicism” articulated by the U.S. accusations against Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to unleash an arms race in Latin America and in waging the war with Colombia.

Relations of Venezuela and Colombia worsened since the signing of October 30, 2009 agreement on the use of United States military bases in Colombian territory. Chavez criticizes U.S. foreign policy in Latin America for being too aggressive and believes that the deployment of U.S. troops in Colombia will be a threat to peace and security.

Allegations by U.S. accusations of Hugo Chavez to “waging the war against the people of Colombia”, in “unleashing an arms race in the region and in the drugs -” revolting cynicism, as well as everything that does and as advocated by the empire, “wrote Fidel promulgated Monday in Cuba a new article of the series “Reflections”.

That the United States, the leader of the Cuban revolution, spent billions of dollars to prepare the armed forces of neighboring Venezuela, Colombia and provide them with weapons and vehicles.

“The Yankees not only supplied the weapons, but to sow hatred against Venezuela in the army, prepared by the” – said Fidel.

United States, Castro wrote, in those supplying the armed forces, were involved in the preparation, “the same weapons and the same uniform,” which is used for interventions in different parts of the world.

Thus, in order to plan acts of genocide against our people, “the U.S. can do without its own troops on the territory of Latin America, says Castro.

Developed capitalism, continues to Fidel, has created a “so-called consumer society” than give rise to problems which are now not able to independently solve.

Venezuela also notes the leader of the Cuban revolution, is a country that “most vigorously pursuing social programs that can counter these negative trends.”

There are more pressing issues for all the peoples of the world, adds Fidel. According to him, this, in particular, the problem of global climate change – “the most urgent and most difficult at the moment.”

Faced with this problem, the author writes, “the famous Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama should define its position.”

Obama, Castro wrote, must provide an answer to a replica of an American director Michael Moore, said after awarding the prize to U.S. President: “Now is the time to earn it.”

“I ask myself:” Can he do it? “- Continues the leader of the Cuban revolution.

At a time when, as unanimously scholars say, carbon dioxide emissions must be reduced by 30% from 1990 levels, the U.S. is ready only to a reduction of 17% from 2005 levels, representing only 5% of the minimum that requires a science of all countries by 2020, said Castro.

Such figures, continues to Fidel, “bitterly” perceived by a growing number of leaders of rich countries, but the ruling elite of the U.S.  allegations that it is just science fiction.

It is well known, Castro wrote that the forthcoming 7-18 December in Copenhagen, the UN conference on climate will continue the discussion on one of the most important questions – “who among the rich countries and how it will promote the development … of the poorest countries.”

“Is it left room for hypocrisy and falsehood?” – Castro wrote, concluding the article.
