RHC's Viewpoint -- USAID: Non-conventional warfare against Cuba
6/16/2014

The idea of orthodox military conflict with the use of fighter and bomber planes, tanks and other conventional war machines devouring bot land and lives is still current in US military thinking, but non-conventional aggression is gaining space in the plans of the world’s main imperialist power.

USAID, that is, the Agency for International Development, an institution under the control of the US State Department, has become a preferred executor of a new type of hostile penetration. Cuba, of course, has never been absent from the list of targets, along with Syria, Libya and Venezuela.

A program overseen by USAID has sent almost a dozen youth to Cuba from Costa Rica, Venezuela, and Peru, with the goal of arousing opposition against the government, an Associated Press (AP) investigation revealed earlier this week.

USAID initiated the program shortly after the inauguration of US President Barack Obama in 2008, when the president spoke publicly of a “new beginning” in US-Cuban relations. It was based in Costa Rica, and run by Creative Associates International, a US company hired by USAID which was recently linked to the creation of a “Cuban Twitter,” a network aimed at connecting Cubans to promote so called democracy.
