Castro likens NATO to Nazis, blasts US, Israel for creating ISIL

Cuba’s former president Fidel Castro compared NATO’s recent statements to that of Nazi SS and accused US and its allies of igniting conflicts abroad. Castro slammed John McCain for backing Israel and accused both of being involved in the creation of ISIL terrorist group.

Referring to the pressure NATO has been trying to exert on Moscow in connection with the Ukrainian crisis, which coincides with calls for increasing the military budgets of NATO member states, Cuba’s iconic leader accused Western politicians of hypocrisy and aggression, Al-Alam news network reported.
“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,” Castro wrote in a column published in Cuban state media.
“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.”
Castro, 88, also attacked US Senator John McCain over his policies in the Middle East, describing him as “Israel’s most unconditional ally.”
