Fidel Castro's Message Against Nuclear War: Calling for World Peace

October 15, 2010 - TRANSCRIPT:

The use of nuclear weapons in a new war would mean the end of humanity. This was candidly foreseen by scientist Albert Einstein who was able to measure their destructive capability to generate millions of degrees of heat, which would vaporize everything within a wide radius of action. This brilliant researcher had promoted the development of this weapon so that it would not become available to the genocidal Nazi regime.

Each and every government in the world has the obligation to respect the right to life of each and every nation and of the totality of all the peoples on the planet.

Today there is an imminent risk of war with the use of that kind of weapon and I don't harbour the least doubt that an attack by the United States and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran would inevitably evolve towards a global nuclear conflict.

The World's peoples have an obligation to demand of their political leaders their Right to Live. When the lives of humankind, of your people and your most beloved human beings run such a risk, nobody can afford to be indifferent; not one minute can be lost in demanding respect for that right; tomorrow will be too late.

Albert Einstein himself stated unmistakably: "I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones". We fully comprehend what he wanted to convey, and he was absolutely right, yet in the wake of a global nuclear war, there wouldn't be anybody around to make use of those sticks and stones.

There would be "collateral damage", as the American political and military leaders always affirm, to justify the deaths of innocent people.

In a nuclear war the "collateral damage" would be the life of all humanity.

Let us have the courage to proclaim that all nuclear or conventional weapons, everything that is used to make war, must disappear!

Fidel Castro Ruz

@IANHAYDENFERREIRA  Hey buddy, Do I mention Batista or USA?

I'm writing about Fidel The dictator. Please stop the talk about USA, it seen like all the communist has a trauma with USA. I'm talking about a dictator that just past the government to his brother. I'm talking about this Traitor that has my country in total destruction.

Do you know what is to live in Cuba?

This person hope to the Cuban people, but betray his people.

[IANHAYDENFERREIRA]

@SAMSWILL i suppose Batista was a better leader? I'd like to see you operate cuba under the usa embargo. the usa wont do business with any country that does business with cuba. they threw a hissy fit when the rebel army beat them. - i bet a person that can write what you wrote does not know about the role the rebel army played in Africa and how they put some final nails in the coffin of apartheid

[SAMSWILL]

Hey people don't be so fools about this dictator.

The destruction on Cuba after 52 years of communist is worse than the bombs dropped in Japan.

Living in poverty and with no freedom is worse than died from atomic bomb
