Caracas, June 13 (RHC)-- Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza took to Twitter to respond to U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton’s recent comments about the Bolivarian Republic, Cuba, and Nicaragua.

“We reject @AmbJohnBoltons absurd, false, malicious & perverse statements today on Venezuela. It's no surprise that he has failed in every step he's taken. He completely ignores the country's reality. A man stuck in the period of the Cold War,” Arreaza tweeted.

Venezuela's top diplomat highlighted Bolton’s constant references to the Monroe Doctrine, which calls for Washington's interference in the affairs of the countries in the Western Hemisphere.

“Even worse, by threatening Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, @AmbJohnBolton clings to the ancient Monroe Doctrine of over 200 years ago. He doesn't understand that the free people of Our America own their destinies in the context of a multi-polar world. He needs a History adviser!”

Arreaza said that by pointing out the internal civil war between the opposition factions and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s admitted failures in Venezuela.

“Mr. @AmbJohnBolton should consult Mr.@SecPompeo, he can explain that the scorpions attacking each other are in the Venezuelan opposition. Worse yet, the Nat'l Security Advisor seeks terrorists and paramilitaries on the wrong side of the Colombian border."
