The United States has denied these reports and state that their F-16 Fighter Jet crashed off the coast of Cuba due to an ‘unknown’ mechanical malfunction with its pilot safely rescued after ejecting. More curiously, however, and almost immediately after Russian Military Analysts reporting on this shoot down to the Kremlin, Cuban Defense Minister Raul Castro, the brother of the ailing Cuban Leader Fidel Castro and present leader of Cuba, issued this statement: "If anyone attacks us, we're ready to pay any price necessary, but the price paid by the invaders of our country would be much higher." Tensions in Latin America remain high after this latest incident, and the United States War Leaders admitting that their War on Terror has now expanded to South America with the introduction of American Military Forces into the conflict between Colombia and its rebel faction FARC. Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez, was also quick to denounce the United States by stating that it was the "most cynical, most murderous empire in all of history". Chavez further stated that the American President, Bush, was plotting to assassinate him and vowed "100 years of war'' should the United States attack either Venezuela or Bolivia. Concerns within the American intelligence communities are centered upon the growing power of Latin American Nations to throw off the yokes of oppression set upon them by their North American neighbors, and who have reaped incalculable wealth from their southern cousins while leaving mass poverty and environmental degradation as their most lasting legacy. The growing power of Chavez’s Venezuela, throughout the entire Latin American World, shows no signs of abating as it spreads its vast oil wealth throughout the region in a direct threat to American and European banking and corporate interests. Coupled with the closeness of Hugo Chavez with the Cuban regime, including Fidel Castro, an emerging, and to the United States dangerous, South American unity block is forming which will see the expulsion of American corporations from the vast wealth of Latin America. What remains unknown to Russian Military Analysts is the United States militaries ability to counter their growing Latin American threat as their current military forces are said stretched to the ‘breaking point’.
