Phase Two of Operation Pincer: US Military Bases in Colombia Aim to Venezuela

When is the US going to stop intervening in other countries sovereignty? The US military bases in Colombia Larandia, Tres Esquinas, Arauca, Puerto Leguizamo, Leticia and Florence, are working on the formation of a “strategic arc” focused on a potential intervention in Venezuelan territory.
According to the weekly paper Voz, the objective would be to intervene militarily in Venezuela, overthrow President Nicolas Maduro and thwart the Bolivarian Revolution and the social changes it entails.
Voz added that the military ring would also be composed of US assault troops stationed on the bases of “control and monitoring” Reina Sofía, in Aruba and Hato Rey, in Curacao, and the operations center would be at the base of Palmerola in Honduras, the largest foreign facility of this kind in Latin American territory.
The weekly said that the denounce in this regard was made last Sunday by the Anncol news agency, which said that the operating plan of intervention against Venezuela is contained in a lengthy document of the Southern Command of the United States, called “Operation Venezuela Freedom- 2 “, signed by its commander, Admiral Kurt Tidd.
Voz specifies that the text of the Southern Command contains 12 tactical and strategic tasks aimed at seeking the political, economic and military conditions for executing the “Democratic Charter” of the OAS and thereby legitimize the US military intervention in the neighboring nation.
According to Voz, that interventionist purpose coincides with the efforts of the current Secretary General of the OAS, Luis Almagro, in his support for the coup plans of the opposition coup-mongers of the Venezuelan right-wing.
The weekly also recalls that the former head of the Southern Command of the United States, in a statement to CNN in October 2015, acknowledged that Washington is willing to intervene in the Bolivarian country if the OAS or the UN request it.
Hence the reaction of President Nicolas Maduro, who has not hesitated to describe such singalong as a rude interventionist plan, reported the official organ of the Communist Party of Colombia.
Voz quoted the document “Operation Venezuela Freedom-2” in the sense that “although in the military situation we can’t act now openly, with the special force present here, we have to set what was previously planned for phase two of the operation pincers.”
In his lengthy article, the publication described as curious that at a time when this plan against Caracas is known, supported by the bases in Colombian territory, the Colombian Defense Minister Luis Carlos Villegas, was received at the Pentagon by Deputy Secretary of Defense, Robert Work, who confirmed his support for the new phase of Plan Colombia.
