President Maduro: U.S. wants armed aggression, Venezuela will never humiliate itself before any empire

This Friday, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said that the U.S. intends to launch an armed attack against Venezuela, with the aim of imposing a “puppet government” and seizing the country’s resources.

“The people of the United States are attentive, observant, and the people of the United States are very aware of what is intended against Venezuela. It is an armed aggression to impose regime change, to impose puppet governments, and to steal the oil, gas, gold, and all the natural resources of a homeland that is forging its own path with its own model,” the Venezuelan president stated during his participation in the International Conference “Colonialism, Neocolonialism, and the Territorial Dispossession of the Western Empire” held in Caracas.

President Maduro also emphasized that fake news about Venezuela is spread every day, and he called on the entire world to pay attention to what is happening in the Caribbean and U.S. criminal actions in the region.

People in defense of peace at any instance

President Maduro emphasized that the Venezuelan people are willing to defend peace and sovereignty and will not allow an imperialist structure that runs counter to liberating ideals to be imposed upon them.

“We believe in the need to defend the project of life and of the original nation that was founded by the liberators. We have prepared ourselves together with the people, always… our people have prepared themselves with a very clear doctrine, and the peoples of the world should know it. It is a doctrine of integral defense of the nation. Venezuela has the right to peace, to sovereignty, to its existence. There will be no empire in this world that can take it away, that can take it away, and if it is necessary to move from unarmed struggle to armed struggle, the people will do it for peace, for sovereignty,” he stated.

“Venezuela will never humiliate itself before any empire, regardless of its power or name,” he warned, adding that “it will be taught, in proper measure, a moral, ethical, and political lesson in the years to come.”

The president emphasized that the dilemma for Venezuelans is not “homeland or death” because independence, freedom, dignity, and life in sovereignty have no alternative.

“Is it an alternative to becoming a colony of the United States? Is it an alternative to be just another star or a state associated with the empire? Is it an alternative to be their slaves, to the supremacists who despise us?” he asked the delegates, who responded emphatically with a negative response.

He stated that the options are “independence or colony, freedom or slaves.”

He said that what “burns the supremacists of the North is that the process of birth of a multipolar, multicentric world is already irreversible,” where imperial hegemony has no place.
