Uruguayan-Ecuadorian analyst Kintto Lucas said today that the decision of President Barack Obama to consider Venezuela a threat to US national security is the prelude to an armed intervention against Venezuela. Lucas said, in an article that he sent to the Prensa Latina news agency, that this action can begin with a naval blockade to block Venezuelan oil exports.
"This way the economic coup that has been staged, and complemented by the direct actions of the opposition, would be strengthened, leading to a civil war that would give the United States the excuse to invade", said Lucas.
Lucas, who was deputy foreign minister of Ecuador from 2010 to 2012, urged the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) to adopt a critical stance against what he described as an attack on Latin American sovereignty.
"The future will show us that if we do not take joint urgent actions, we will possibly regret an intervention and civil war", said Lucas while considering that the United States Government is using the same method it used to invade Libya and Syria.
After pointing out that "the blockade on Cuba has not being lifted and another blockade on a Latin American country is beginning", Lucas urged political parties and social movements that support Latin American sovereignty to join a common front against US intervention in Venezuela.
