The military that Marco Rubio's Memorandum of War against Cuba tries to demonize did not study at the School of the Americas or in the more than 800 U.S. military bases in 70 countries, where coups d'état, assassinations, invasions, torture, repression, kidnappings of legitimate presidents to impose puppets, conspiracies, surgical coups or covert operations are taught.
The members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR, for its Spanish acronym) and the Ministry of the Interior (Minint, for its Spanish acronym) are children of the Rebel Army, which was nurtured by humble men and women of the people who gave their all to defeat a bloody tyranny, engendered and protected by U.S. governments for more than half a century, which turned the country into a neo-colony, when the economy was owned by a handful of U.S. companies and local or foreign mafiosos, who quickly found refuge in Florida with the money stolen from the Cubans.
The FAR and the Minint are an inseparable part of Cuba's history in its permanent struggle against the vile obsession of U.S. governments to seize our wealth, our destiny and to truncate our right to independence and sovereignty.
They are protagonists of the victory of the Cuban people against the mercenary invasion of Playa Girón, of the elimination of hundreds of counterrevolutionary gangs organized and paid by Washington; of the neutralization of more than 600 terrorist conspiracies to assassinate Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro Ruz and other leaders; or of the dismantling of macabre plans against kindergartens, hotels, schools, stores, airplanes, merchant ships, airports, discos, restaurants or cultural shows.
Discredit and lies overshadow the false pretexts of Rubio and his cohorts for the escalation of the economic and political war of the current administration, surrounded by haters, corrupt politicians and
Miami mobsters, who take advantage of anti-communism, neo-fascism and the fashionable imperial pretensions, which do not hide their annexationist and unjust cravings in any part of the world.
But they precisely choose the FAR and the Minint as their targets because they have been and will be shields of the invincible unity of the Revolution which has defeated all their plans, such as this new creation or attempt, desperate and doomed to failure, to bring the Cuban people to its knees.
The political blindness of the hawks forgets that these same forces have not only guaranteed their independence, but also contributed to liberate sister countries in Africa.
In addition to a crude and opportunistic pretext, it is a sign of impotence, resentment and revenge of the historically defeated, orphaned of just reasons and sincerity, but with enough power to pressure and kill. Condemned to failure once again, they do not skirmish.
