In Russia, China and Iran — countries compelled to achieve multipolarity and to distance themselves from the hegemonic drive of the U.S. — the Bolivarian revolution has powerful international allies; it also has the opportunity to be part of the new pole of the BRICS [which is] in the process of enlargement.

The Bolivarian process has a bastion of solidarity in Cuba and thus in all sovereign states and in the political and social movements of the anti-imperialist and anti-neoliberal camp.

In the framework of this new world correlation of power, the deployment on a larger scale of the political, social and military forces that have sustained the Bolivarian-Chavista process and the solidarity of states and peoples in struggle are a formidable combination that can resist, prevail and deepen the changes.

And on days like these, new visits of some Russian, Chinese or Iranian warships to Venezuelan ports would not go amiss.

Together with conceding “not an iota” to that insolent and aggressive [neo]imperialism in its decadence, it is necessary to show that the multipolar world has arrived to assert itself.
