Fidel Castro ja Nikita Sergejevitš Hruštšov
Yle uutisoi tänään, että Kuuban pitkäaikainen johtaja Fidel Castro olisi sanonut amerikkalaiselle toimittajalle Jeffrey Goldbergille , että "Kuuban malli ei toimi edes Kuubassa."
Lisäksi uutisen mukaan:
Jeffrey Goldberg:Castro oli Goldbergin mukaan myös kyseenalaistanut omat toimensa Kuuban kriisissä vuonna 1962, myös sen, että suositteli neuvostojohtajille ydinaseiden käyttöä Yhdysvaltoja vastaan.
* Jeffrey Goldberg: Fidel: 'Cuban Model Doesn't Even Work For Us Anymore'I asked him if this fear was informed by his own experiences during the 1962 missile crisis, when the Soviet Union and the U.S. nearly went to war other over the presence of nuclear-tipped missiles in Cuba (missiles installed at the invitation, of course, of Fidel Castro). I mentioned to Castro the letter he wrote to Khruschev, the Soviet premier, at the height of the crisis, in which he recommended that the Soviets consider launching a nuclear strike against the U.S. if the Americans attack Cuba. "That would be the time to think about liquidating such a danger forever through a legal right of self-defense," Castro wrote at the time.
I asked him, "At a certain point it seemed logical for you to recommend that the Soviets bomb the U.S. Does what you recommended still seem logical now?" He answered: "After I've seen what I've seen, and knowing what I know now, it wasn't worth it all."
