HAVANA: Cuban ex-president Fidel Castro lashed out at the United States and Europe on Monday (Sep 1), accusing them of war-mongering and comparing the NATO military alliance's representatives to the Nazi SS.
In a tortuous column published in Cuban state media, the father of the island's communist revolution also attacked US Senator John McCain over United States policy in the Middle East, calling him "Israel's most unconditional ally."
"The world has seen no respite in recent years, particularly since the European Economic Community, under the strict and unconditional leadership of the United States, decided the time had come to settle scores with what was left of two great nations (Russia and China) that ... had carried out the heroic deed of putting an end to the imperialist colonial order imposed on the world by Europe and the United States," said the 88-year-old leader.
He accused the West of "cynicism" and said the trait had become "a symbol of imperialist policy." He singled out McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential candidate, saying he had supported Israel's Mossad intelligence agency and "participated together with that service in the creation of the Islamic State, which today controls a considerable and vital portion of Iraq and reportedly one-third of Syria as well."
Turning to NATO, Castro said the alliance's representatives were reminiscent of Nazi Germany's feared SS. "Many people are astonished when they hear the statements made by some European spokesmen for NATO when they speak with the style and face of the Nazi SS," he said.
"Adolf Hitler's greed-based empire went down in history with no more glory than the encouragement provided to NATO's aggressive and bourgeois governments, which makes them the laughing stock of Europe and the world.

Isn’t he dead yet?
“Castro said the alliance’s representatives were reminiscent of Nazi Germany’s feared SS”
I’m sure they’re nothing like the SS Fidel, or your secret police.
He’s still kicking and I understand he also said that the Islamic State was created by Israeli intelligence (Mossad).
Remember when Maximum Leader missed a riser step and took a header into startled, septuagenarian, comrade bystanders?
The first time I saw that clip, I didn’t think I’d ever stop laughing.
Wasn’t NATO kind of like against the Nazis?
Oh we’ll that’s that wacky Fidel again.
I thought he was dead
“Oh we’ll that’s that wacky Fidel again.”
Maybe we can arrange for Jimmah Cahtah to go to Cuba so they can share a room ( and a brain ).
Evil famous/infamous people are sustained by evil. Look how long Helen Thomas lasted.
No doubt this news comes as a surprise to Israel.
I think the ol guy has finally gone around the bend.
NATO is so lame it is ridiculous.
How the hell is this piece of crap still alive..I just dont get it..Robin Williams offs himself..Joan Rivers is in the hospital because of some fluke procedure, yet this evil Commie is still ticking
I just saw some ahole cook the other day with a tattoo of Che Guevara on his arm, how do these idiots still get reverence?
Die Fidel! Die!
Hugo Chavez did.
Too wicked to die...
He’s probably dead. Not hard to print a “tortuous column” with a dead guy’s name above it.
Imagine Cuba as it was prior to Castro, open to commerce, beautiful and art deco.
Both physically and mentally.
I am no proponent of either, but To compare Rasmussen to Hitler or Goebbels is ridiculous.
Funny how disturbed little men gain positions of power.
Fidel is a fan of Hitler and Alexander the Great. It was his brother and Che who preferred Communism.
I’d say Fidel was much more violent and murderous than Hitler in his rise to power, too.
