Cuba’s Fidel Castro Condemns ‘Primitive’ Accusations of Russia’s Role in Boeing Crash

BUENOS AIRES, August 5 (RIA Novosti) – Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro dismissed Tuesday accusations of Moscow’s alleged role in the deadly Malaysian passenger plane crash as “primitive.”

“Accusing the Russian Federation of destroying the Malaysian Boeing during the flight is horrifying primitivism,” Castro wrote in an article published in Cuba’s Granma newspaper.

“Neither President Vladimir Putin, nor Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov nor other Russian leaders could have ever done such a stupid thing,” Castro stressed.

Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur crashed in eastern Ukraine on July 17. All 298 people on board, including 85 children, died in the crash. Following the deadly crash, the United States and the European Union imposed new sanctions against Russia, which they claimed could be responsible for the tragedy.

According to authorities in Kiev, as well as the West, the plane was shot down by weapons supposedly «delivered» to independence supporters by Russia.

Moscow has repeatedly denied these allegations saying it never interfered with the Ukrainian internal affairs and stressed that the sanctions policy was unacceptable and counterproductive.

Palestinian Holocaust in Gaza - August 5, 2014 - by Fidel Castro - "I think that a new, repugnant form of fascism is emerging with notable strength, at this time in human history when more that seven billion inhabitants are struggling for their survival."

"The Israeli government declared a humanitarian truce in Gaza at 07:00 GMT on Monday, nevertheless within a few hours, it broke the truce attacking a house, injuring 30 persons, in their majority women and children, and an eight-year-old girl died."

"The Nazi genocide of Jews outraged all the earth’s peoples. Why does this government believe that the world will be insensitive to the macabre genocide which today is being perpetuated against the Palestinian people? Perhaps it is expected that the complicity of the U.S. empire in this shameful massacre will be ignored?"

"When the great patriotic war took place, Russian citizens defended their country like Spartans, underestimating them was the worse error made by the United States and Europe. Their closest allies, the Chinese, who like the Russians achieved their victory on the basis of the same principles, constitute today the earth’s most dynamic economic force."

"Blaming the Russian Federation for the in-flight destruction of the Malaysian airplane is a stunning oversimplification. Not Vladímir Putin, nor Serguéi Lavrov, Russia’s minister of Foreign Relations, or any other leader of this government would ever come up with such nonsense."

"Twenty-six million Russians died in the defense of their homeland against the Nazis. Chinese combatants, men and women, inheritors of a millennial culture, are people of uncommon intelligence and an invincible spirit of struggle. Xi Jinping is one of the strongest and most capable revolutionary leaders I have met in my life."

This, from the guy who ordered the shootdown of 2 unarmed civilian Cessnas in 1996 because they were delivering anti-Castro leaflets.

Well, Castro is in synch with the pro-Putin putinista propagandists who post here. They’re all cut from the same cloth.

It’s absurd how certain faux “freepers” who have infiltrated FR sound exactly like Fidel Castro. Communists and terrorists around the world adore their hero KGB Putin.

I suspect fidel no longer says anything intelligible, or does anything more challenging than laying on his back sucking his toes.

That in itself would be pretty impressive ... it's easy for babies, but adults have different proportions!

Fidel's sad demise will occur when it's convenient for the regime.

We’ll have a party with all my Cuban cuisine to celebrate both of their going to their eternal reward. I’ve been practicing my dishes ever since Fidel got sick.

You’re right. This phony freepers have nothing in common with conservative thought. Their only question is, “What would Putin want?”

We’ll give rum punch to the whole neighborhood, if they’ll join us in a cheer of “Fidelito es muerto!”
