The leader of the fifth-largest oil exporter in the world is warning his country's military and citizenry to prepare for war with Colombia and the United States, according to published reports.
世界第五石油出口國領導人警告國內軍隊和公民，去準備和哥倫比亞和美國作戰。
Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez issued his warning during a weekly radio address.
委內瑞拉領導人Hugo Chavez，在一週電台演說中發出警告。
"Let's not waste a day on our main aim: to prepare for war and to help the people prepare for war, because it is everyone's responsibility," he reportedly said.
他說:"讓我們不要浪費一日在我們的主要目的上：去準備戰爭和幫人們準備戰爭，因為這是每個人的責任。

"Chavez has repeatedly voiced deep fears of US encroachment in the region.
"Students, revolutionaries, workers, women: all are ready to defend this sacred homeland called Venezuela," he continued, adding that the best way to "avoid war is to prepare for it".
Relations between the neighbours were frozen in July after Colombia announced an agreement to lease the use of military bases to the United States.
"Venezuela and Colombia share a 1,375-mile (2,200-km) border and a volatile history," Reuters noted. "After both were freed from the Spanish by Venezuelan liberator Simon Bolivar in the 19th century, the two countries were the center of a short-lived nation known as Gran Colombia that also included Ecuador and Panama."
The wire service continued: "Colombia's four-decade-old guerrilla conflict has for years spilled over the Venezuelan border, where kidnappings, contraband and drug trafficking are common. Chavez's ideological closeness to Colombian FARC Marxist rebels has led Washington and Bogota to accuse him of supporting the guerrillas. Chavez denies providing arms or logistical support to the rebels."

Chavez has in turn accused the Colombian military of making illegal, provocative incursions into Venezuela.
"Colombian paramilitaries operating illegally in Venezuela’s oil-rich border regions, together with the right-wing opposition in Venezuela, are the advance guard of imperialist plans to defeat the Bolivarian revolution," socialist publication Green Left opined.
The concern is not unfounded. A recent Al Jazeera report which centered on a Colombian hitman in Venezuelan custody alleged that Chavez's main political opponent in the country, Manuel Rosales, had offered a $25 million bounty to anyone who could kill the socialist leader.
Additionally, some American troops will soon find themselves stationed at military bases scattered across Colombia with a mission to use advanced Predator drone technology to aid in fighting the drug trade and to combat terrorism. When the arrangement was announced in August, Chavez bristled then too, telling reporters that "the winds of war [are] beginning to blow."
Bloomberg News added: "The U.S. agreement with Colombia is part of an effort to 'strengthen and increase ties with countries in the region,' Robin Holzhauer, spokeswoman for the U.S. Embassy in Caracas, said by telephone. 'We’ve done that with governments who want to have partnerships with us.' Colombia has said the agreement would help combat drug trafficking."
During the summer of 2009, Venezuela bought billions of dollars’ worth of sophisticated fighter jets and tanks from its military ally Russia.

Venezuela’s closest allies, Ecuador and Bolivia, back that stance.

“As long as there are uniformed foreigners in a South American country, it’s difficult for us to think there can be peace,” Bolivian President Evo Morales reportedly said in August.

這新聞要注意的地方不是新貨幣，根本難成氣候，而是內裡的潛台詞。委內瑞拉總统查華士已呼召人民準備與美國和哥倫比亞作戰，這是另一步，以免受控於對戰國貨幣的升跌；另外，委哥兩國毗鄰，新貨幣竟然無哥倫比亞份，更於此敏感時刻推出，明顯其它八個拉丁大小國都不滿美國和會支持委內瑞拉。

拉美九國推新貨幣抗衡美元 (09:49)
拉丁美洲9個左翼國家表示，計劃從明年1月開始，使用一種新的共同貨幣，以抗衡美元。
這種新貨幣名為「sucre」，九國不會真正發行這種貨幣，而是以「虛擬貨幣」的方式，藉其結算各國之間的債務，以減低對美元的依賴。

這九個國家以近年與美國針鋒相對的委內瑞拉為首，其餘的包括古巴、尼加拉瓜、洪都拉斯、厄瓜多爾、玻利維亞、安提瓜和巴布達、聖文森特和格林納丁斯、多米尼亞。

簡訊：古巴委內瑞拉簽署巨額新協議
更新時間 2009年 12月 13日, 格林尼治標準時間02:04
古巴總統勞爾·卡斯特羅與委內瑞拉總統查韋斯在哈瓦那簽署了價值32億美元的近300項新協議，雙方將設立8個經濟合作機構。

勞爾·卡斯特羅總統稱這是兩國曆史性的經濟合作。根據協議，委內瑞拉將更多參與古巴沿海的石油勘探工作。

古巴則同意購買價值4億美元的委內瑞拉產品，包括食品、輪胎、服裝和建材。

兩國的協議在由8個國家組成的區域組織「美洲人民的波利維亞聯盟」峰會即將召開前簽署。這個聯盟是5年前由古巴和委內瑞拉發起成立的。
