One day after being sworn in for a third term as Venezuela's president, Nicolás Maduro addressed widespread international opposition, stating that Venezuela, along with its allies Cuba and Nicaragua, is "preparing" for the possibility of armed conflict.
The announcement was made on Saturday as part of the Global International Anti-Fascist Festival celebrated in Caracas. More than 2,000 international delegates from 125 countries participated, according to CMH, a Cuban state-run radio news outlet known for its coverage of government and international affairs.
Maduro closed the festival with the following speech, positioning himself and Venezuela's leadership as defenders of the nation's sovereignty:
"Venezuela is preparing itself, together with Cuba, together with Nicaragua, together with our elder brothers of the world, so that if one day we have to take up arms to defend the right to peace, the right to sovereignty, and the historic achievements of our homeland, we will fight the battle and win it again.
