From our Latrine American Triangle of Doom Bureau with some assistance from our Bureau of Castrogonian Expansionism
Uh, oh. It looks as if Castro, Inc. is stepping up its takeover of yet another Latrine American nation. Honduran president Xiomara Castro has been cozying up to Castro, Inc. for a while, but this recent meeting between Cuban-controlled Venenozuelan military chiefs and Honduran military chiefs seems to be an intensification of the romance, through a third party, much like the triangular arrangements teenagers make in seventh grade.
Naturally, Castro, Inc. became enraged when the U.S. ambassador to Honduras expressed concern about this potentially fateful step. How dare she blow the whistle on these proceedings! Dictator-in-the making Xiomara Castro has slapped the U.S. on the cheek by cancelling an extradition treaty between the two countries.
Loosely translated from Marti Noticias
On Friday, the Cuban government labeled the U.S. Embassy’s concerns about the meeting as “interference” and echoed President Castro’s warnings of a plot against her administration.
In response to these remarks, Honduras terminated its Extradition Treaty with the United States on Wednesday. Ambassador Laura Dogu had expressed concern about the recent meeting between Padrino López and the Honduran military officials, Roosevelt Hernández Aguilar, Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and José Manuel Zelaya, the Defense Minister and a political relative of President Castro.
“We are very concerned about what has happened in Venezuela. It’s quite surprising to me to see the Defense Minister and the Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff sitting next to a drug trafficker in Venezuela… especially when working with a government, with a president who is fighting against the narco-dictatorship, so I couldn’t understand why they decided to do that,” the diplomat stated.
Since 2020, the U.S. has accused Padrino López of conspiring to distribute cocaine. A DEA report highlights that the Venezuelan general has the authority to intercept planes suspected of being used to traffic drugs from Venezuela to Central American countries.
Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel viewed the U.S. ambassador’s statements as “attacks on the sovereignty of Honduras and Our America.”
His comment on the social network X aligns with that of Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez: “We reject the blatant interference of the United States in Honduras. We warn of the serious allegations by President Xiomara Castro that a plan is being hatched against her government.”
President Castro referred to the U.S. ambassador’s comments as an attack on the head of the armed forces and the Defense Minister.
“Look at how delicate this is, an attack that we cannot allow because it undermines the institutional strength of the armed forces; not only that, it puts the upcoming electoral process at risk,” said the wife of former President Manuel Zelaya, who was close to Hugo Chávez and Fidel Castro.
An Associated Press report indicates that the Extradition Treaty with the United States, which Castro has just suspended, allowed 64 Hondurans to be brought to justice in the U.S. since 2014.
And yes, they always find these eminently Latrine types and put them in power. And no, they never learn.
I’d call her bovine, but that would be insulting cows. No wonder Latrines never get out of the hole for long.
