COMMENT
DR. GILBERTO BORGES FO.’.
In October 1962, with an extension in 1963, a historical event of such magnitude occurred that the world would not enter the Third World War, and there would certainly be a mass destruction of mankind never imagined. It was called the Cuban Missile Crisis . In the midst of the Cold War and the polarized world of two major powers, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and the United States of America, missiles were installed with nuclear warheads directed at the United States. Cuba, ally and satellite of the USSR in the Americas, had Fidel Castro as dictator of the island. USSR, led by the Soviet Nikita Khrushchev. In the US, the president was John Kennedy. The situation was only resolved with much diplomacy and the certainty of the two leaders of the world's greatest powers that if there was really a war, there would be no winners but only destruction with deaths and irreversible sequels.
In contemporary times, at the end of this year of 2018, President Vladimir Putin, in explicit support of the dictator of Venezuela, and certainly following the same strategy of Nikita Khrushchev, that is, to maintain a base country in the region of the Americas and demonstrating his military power, is setting up a military base in Venezuela by Nicolás Maduro. For Maduro, it is very convenient to have an ally of the stature of Russia, because it will continue to control, now in theory, Venezuela with the growth of an increasingly bloody dictatorship. It is said in theory, because President Putin, strategist and ambitious, will try to have influence in Venezuela. Nicolás Maduro, in this way, thinks himself master of the situation, experienced, mature for foreign policy. He can not see that he is transferring power to President Russo, which shows only his immaturity to the situation he is unable to understand, turning his back on his Venezuelan people.
What about Brazil? What position will you adopt? Yes, because being President Trump's US ally, you will have to position yourself and Russia's onslaught on the American continent (the three Americas). Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, although Brazil does not have the culture of being a warmonger, will have to "deepen his voice" and prove to be the power that is in South America. He will have to play heavy with Venezuela, which has not happened so far with the government that leaves the Planalto Palace.

COMENTÁRIO
No mês de outubro de 1962, com prolongamento no ano de 1963, aconteceu um fato histórico de tal magnitude que o mundo por pouco não entraria na terceira Guerra Mundial, e certamente haveria destruição em massa da humanidade jamais imaginada. Foi a chamada CRISE DOS MÍSSEIS. Em plena Guerra Fria (Guerra não declaração) e com o mundo polarizado em duas grandes potências, União das Repúblicas Socialistas Soviéticas (URSS) e Estados Unidos da América (EUA), foram instalados mísseis com ogivas nucleares direcionados aos EUA. Cuba, aliada e satélite da URSS nas Américas, tinha Fidel Castro como ditador da ilha. URSS, tendo como líder o soviético Nikita Khrushchev. Nos EUA, o presidente era John Kennedy. A situação somente foi resolvida com muita diplomacia e a certeza dos dois líderes das maiores potências do mundo que se houvesse realmente uma guerra, não haveria vencedores, mas apenas destruição com mortes e com sequelas irreversíveis.
Na contemporaneidade, no final deste ano de 2018, o presidente da Rússia, Vladimir Putin, em apoio explícito ao ditador da Venezuela, e certamente seguindo a mesma estratégia de Nikita Khrushchev, ou seja, manter um país base na região das Américas e demonstrando seu poderio bélico, está montando uma base militar na Venezuela de Nicolás Maduro. Para Maduro, é muito conveniente ter um aliado da estatura da Rússia, pois continuará controlando, agora em teoria, a Venezuela com o crescimento de uma ditadura cada vez mais sangrenta. Diz-se em teoria, porque o presidente Putin, estrategista e ambicioso, procurará ter influência na Venezuela. Nicolás Maduro, dessa forma, acha-se senhor da situação, experiente, maduro para a política externa. Não consegue enxergar que está transferindo poder ao presidente Russo, o que demonstra apenas sua imaturidade para a situação que é incapaz em compreender, dando as costas para seu povo venezuelano.
E o Brasil? Que posicionamento adotará? Sim, porque sendo aliado dos EUA do presidente Trump, terá que se posicionar e relação à investida da Rússia no continente americano (as três Américas). O presidente brasileiro Jair Bolsonaro, embora o Brasil não possui a cultura de ser belicista, terá que “engrossar a voz” e demonstrar ser a potência que é na América do Sul. Terá que jogar pesado com a Venezuela, o que até agora não aconteceu com o governo que deixa o Palácio do Planalto.
Venezuelan news agencies, citing the Russian state outlet TASS, reported on Monday that the socialist dictatorship has agreed to allow Moscow to establish a military base on the island of La Orchila in the Caribbean Sea, the first such base since the end of the Cold War.
La Orchila is about 1,350 miles from Key West, Florida, and less than 1,000 miles from the American military base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, offering the Russian military close proximity to the United States.
Venezuela’s NTN24 quoted the Russian news agency stating the Russian government is seeking a base in Venezuela to place military aircraft within reach of key Western Hemisphere locations. The outlet also noted that, in another Russian media outlet, Russian military expert Shamil Garayev claimed that Russia has a need for such a location because, that way, “our strategic bombers do not have to return to Russia every time [after an exercises], and will not need to refuel midair during patrol missions to the Americas.”
TASS reportedly cited another Russian military source, Col. Eduard Rodyukov, who directly linked the establishment of a base in Venezuela to the Trump administration’s decision to withdraw from the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, which limits both Russia and the United States to developing ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges of only up to 3,500 miles. Washington has accused Russia of violating the letter of the treaty on several occasions, while the Russian government has attempted to argue that more modern technology like predator drones serve the same purpose as the weapons the INF treaty bans, thus in a manner violating the treaty.
Last month, National Security Advisor John Bolton traveled to Moscow to alert the Kremlin that President Donald Trump intended to withdraw from the treaty.
“It’s Russian violations of the treaty, in our view, that has gotten us this to this point, and it’s something that’s been going on for five years, if not more,” he said, adding, ““I think they understand our reasons quite clearly, some of which I think they might fully appreciate from their own strategic perspective.”
Rodyukov nonetheless insisted to TASS that withdrawal from the INF treaty required Russia to have a more robust presence in Latin America: “The arrival of Russia’s Tu-160 strategic bombers to Central America is kind of a signal to Trump to make him realize that abandoning nuclear disarmament treaties will have a boomerang effect.”
Russia sent two Tu-160 strategic bombers, nuclear capable aircraft, to Venezuela on a joint mission with the failed socialist state last week.
“During their visit to Venezuela, the pilots of long-range aircraft performed a routine flight in the airspace over the Caribbean Sea,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement, “receiving practical experience of fulfilling the flight task near the equator in the conditions of high humidity and temperature regimes, as well as of performing joint flights with crews of Venezuela’s attack aircraft which accompanied Russian jets at different stages of the route.”
The aircraft withdrew from Venezuela on Saturday and returned home following an outcry from the United States. The Russian government expressed outrage not only at Washington’s objection to their presence in the region but to remarks from U.S. Ambassador to Colombia Kevin Whitaker dismissing the aircraft as “museum exhibits” that American forces can easily intercept if necessary. Defense Ministry Spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov issued a statement on Friday stating that the aircraft are “museum pieces … [in the context of] admiring this masterpiece of the domestic engineering thought in the sphere of aircraft-making to the envy of Russia’s ill-wishers.”
Russia’s concerns in the Western Hemisphere do not only extend to the United States. Establishing a base in Venezuela could help Moscow elbow the Chinese government out of the region, which has invested billions in controlling key natural resources in the country. Following a visit to Beijing in September, dictator Nicolás Maduro announced that China had agreed to offer $5 billion in aid in exchange for control of oil assets. Maduro’s regime, facing near-total bankruptcy due to the socialists’ inability to efficiently extract oil from the ground, owes both China and Russia to the tune of billions. With this latest offering, China secured loan payments from Venezuela, often at the cost of the nation paying the Russian loans.
In November, Igor Sechin, the head of the state-run oil company Rosneft, traveled to Venezuela to complain that Caracas had failed to make payments to Moscow while continuing to pay Beijing. Maduro traveled to Moscow shortly after and met with Vladimir Putin, reportedly making the deals necessary for Russia’s new military presence in the country.

Cenário: Rússia se aproxima de uma base militar na Venezuela
A Rússia quer, sim, ter uma base militar na Venezuela, prioritariamente para apoio logístico a seus aviões de ataque de longo alcance
Roberto Godoy, O Estado de S.Paulo
19 Dezembro 2018 | 05h00
Sites especializados em armamento afirmaram ontem que a Rússia tinha acertado o uso de uma ilha venezuelana como base militar. Diosdado Cabello, número 2 chavista, desmentiu, mas completou: “Quem dera fosse verdade”. A Rússia quer, sim, ter uma base militar na Venezuela, prioritariamente para apoio logístico a seus aviões de ataque de longo alcance, os impressionantes bombardeiros Tu-160 Blackjack – 17 mil km de autonomia – que, na semana passada, fizeram uma passagem por Maiquetía, conjunto aeronáutico próximo de Caracas. Mas não é só.
A escolha da ilha La Orchila, no litoral do Caribe venezuelano, atende à necessidade da força naval russa, que precisa de um centro de operações de suporte para as flotilhas que despacha para a região a intervalos regulares. Um dos gigantes da esquadra, o cruzador nuclear Pedro, o Grande, com 252 metros e 28 mil toneladas, já esteve na área em duas ocasiões, 2008 e 2013, acompanhado de escolta.
Orchila é um achado: está a menos de 1.500 km de distância da Flórida. Ali, um complexo aeronaval de caráter binacional servirá de forte elemento de garantia, de dissuasão prática, contra uma eventual intervenção armada no país. O ex-comandante da Aviação de Longo Alcance da Rússia, general Anatolii Zhikarev, iniciou em 2009 o processo de cessão de uma gleba para construção da infraestrutura – terminal aéreo, píer, armazéns, hangares, centros de controle, núcleo residencial, acessos terrestres, estação de comunicações. Apresentou o plano em Moscou – e foi vigorosamente desmentido por Hugo Chávez.
Vladimir Putin incluiu a base em seu plano de recuperação de ao menos dez bases da rede que era mantida em 15 países pela extinta União Soviética. Segundo um ex-ministro da Defesa da Venezuela, atualmente na oposição a Nicolás Maduro, em 2017 o projeto caribenho estava avançado. Teria sido citado na Duma, a câmara baixa do Parlamento russo, porém tomando como referência Puerto Cabello, também ao norte, e destacando o fato de funcionar no local uma unidade da Marinha venezuelana, guarnecendo a refinaria de El Palito.
