Fidel Castro on 'Nuclear War'

[Elind]

the op is about the threat of nuclear war.
does anyone care to address the topic, or do you prefer to continue to spew your nonsense?

Brilliant observation!

How about you start?

 

[dtugg]

Who cares what some old dictator who once brought the world to the brink of nuclear war thinks?

Depends on how old you are, or interested in history, or interested in what makes people do what they do.

You don't. Why bother to post here?

i did...i asked a question in my op.
your turn.

I just like how these two posts looked in order:

I've never been to North Korea, but I can tell they're a horrible dictatorship.

That's rich, coming from a ruthless dictator who once brought the world to the brink of nuclear war.

Thunder...is there something you'd like to tell us?

the blind ignorance about the realities of life in cuba is amazing in a forum of supposed skeptics.
yet you buy the codswallop fed you by the american press.

Human rights organizations are not the American press. Whatever propaganda there may be against Cuba, there are also legitimate criticisms.

I support nuclear disarmament and general demilitarization worldwide, so I agree with Castro on this. However, I would like an influential person like him to go beyond words to show his sincerity. He could start with Cuba.

As for the threat of a nuclear war on global scale started by USA or Israel by an attack against Iran, I don't think such an attack will happen, and if it does, I would not be as sure as Castro that it leads to a global conflict. Maybe that's just wishful thinking, but I can't see why it would have to play out that way. So yes, perhaps he's a bit overly dramatic.

...and overthrew a despotic, corrupt, american directed regime.

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss"

Well aside from being Soviet directed instead of American directed.

I thought the point of starting a thread was to start and participate in a debate. Voyeurs are kind of creepy IMHO.

You have plenty of material. Go for it.

 

[SezMe]

Perhaps you should read more.

Perhaps I should. You can, of course, point me to some literature that refutes the notion that tens of thousands of nukes going off in a short period would not wipe out humanity.

dude...have you been asleep for the last 20 years?
the soviet era has been over for decades.

Tell that to the royal family in Cuba.

(Isn't it funny how all these commies end up as hereditary leaderships?)

Tens of thousands is a fantasy. To think all would be used is silly outside of a Dr. Strangelove movie.

The point here being extinction of homo sapiens as opposed to extinction of civilizations as we know them. The former is not likely.

thankyou for addressing the op.
i think that fidel may be a little alarmist here too.
however, the threat of nuclear war is very real in the middle east.
perhaps the whole human race is not endangered, but significant numbers certainly are.

And Cuba has not mattered one whit on the international stage for, curiously enough, precisely the same amount of time.

and that is relevant to the op...how?
cuba and canada have a good trading relationship.
cubano cigars are readily available in canada.

And despite all of Hugo Chavez's bluster about destroying American imperialism, there are plenty of McDonald's restaurants in Venezuela. Would you then characterize Venezuela as having a "good trading relationship" with the United States?

A Godwin by any other name....

The single party communist states of the world are far from ideal places to live but they are also far from the worst places to be. Those that suffer the most are those that violated their particular country's status quos the worst. You can live a decent life all places if you don't bad mouth communism or in some cases plant the wrong kind of seed in the ground. What's worse?

I already did. And no, you aren't going to get away with throwing your own off-topic musings out there and then complaining that people who respond to them are "off topic".

The OP an hypocritical moral sermon, hosted on a Truther website, by a thug who sized power and held onto it by torturing and killing people for over 40 years. **** Fidel Castro and **** communists too.
