was right to keep dignified silence over the statements
published last Monday, July 21st, by Izvestia on the
eventual installation of strategic Russian fighter-planes
bases in our country. The news came up from a certain
hypothesis elaborated in Russia associated with the Yankees
obstinacy in setting up radars and launching pads for their
nuclear shield close to the borders of that great power.
Yesterday, July 22nd, General Norton Schwartz,
recently appointed U.S. new Air Force Chief of Staff, said
at the Senate that if Russia did that it would be crossing
the red line, something inadmissible to the United States
security.
If you
say yes I’ll kill you. If you say no I’ll do too; I’ll kill
you anyway. It is Machavelli’s strategy applied to Cuba by
the empire. No need for explanations, excuses or pardon.
In
these times of genocide nerves of steel are much needed, and
Cuba has them. The imperialists know it. On Saturday July 26th
it will be 55 years since we have been restlessly fighting;
there can be no better tribute to those fallen in action,
those who perished later without ever abandoning their
principles and those who keep on fighting. They are the
symbol of a whole generation who put up a fight and it is
only fair that our people rejoice in their memory.
