00:00Petro? Who Petro? I think he is competing with Lula, to see who is going to represent the Yankees in Latin America, that's the way I see Petro.
00:20Who Petro? He doesn't have, of course, the power, the strength of Brazil. Brazil is no doubt the giant of Latin America.
00:38But with Lula's administration, it's not going to be a good country. It is going to become a Goliath, trying to overcome the region, but it will fail in this attempt to become a Goliath of the region.
01:04However, I want to warn Nicolas, and I guess you have already analysed this, and you are getting ready for this.
01:24This manoeuvre they have launched has failed. There is no way back. Nicolas is the legitimate president, continuing the battle of Chavez,
01:49and Chavez is continuing the battle of Bolivar, and today Nicolas Maduro is wielding the sword of Bolivar.
02:01However, if Nicaragua, which is a tiny land, with a very small and fragile economy,
02:17we border countries with military bases. Honduras has a military base, and Costa Rica also has a military base from the United States.
02:42Since we were not able to foil the success of the revolution in 1976, after 40 years of Somoza domination, imperial domination, and millions of deaths, what did they do?
03:04They organised a mercenary army, and you know very well, Nicolas, that that mercenary army, I don't think Petro is going to succumb to the temptation to organise this military army.
03:27But in Colombia, you have the mercenaries. Uribe is there.
03:44And you have heard how this former Colombian president has been uttering their rejection to the legally elected government in Venezuela.
04:14In Colombia, you have Yankee military bases. So, beware, because this victory is hurting the empire more than ever.
04:30They could organise an army attack against Venezuela, as they did with us. They paid for it, they armed it, they used the military bases they have in Honduras.
04:53And there was a long, protracted battle, 10 years of war that we had to wage. 10 years of war with thousands of deaths, more than 50,000 victims as a result of that struggle.
05:15And in the end, we prevailed. We defeated this army of mercenaries.
05:29But in this case, the battle will be far more serious, because the Colombian army, the Colombian mercenaries, the Colombian assassins, drug traffickers will be involved.
05:58And with this long front border that you have with Colombia, I think you need to be ready. Ready in order to wage this battle and defeat them.
06:15Because if that battle occurs, you are going to defeat them. And if that battle occurs, rest assured that we are going to have Sandinist fighters accompanying you in that battle.
06:34And rest assured that in the same fashion that thousands of combatants joined the battle of Nicaragua against Somoza, well, thousands of Latin American, Caribbean combatants will join the Venezuelan, the Bolivarian revolution to defend this revolution.
