Does he still have influence? Castro appeared on Cuban TV on 12th July to warn of nuclear war in the Middle East. Is this the resurgence of the mavericks? Ahmadinejad, Castro, Kim Jong-Il, Ghaddafi [keeping a low profile at the moment]...there must be others I havent thought of.
Castro's argument is familiar: the US will attack Iran in order to prevent the country obtaining nuclear weapons. Israel will probably drop the first bomb. But then he warns that Iran will resist and the conflict will spread to the point that Pakistan and India may become involved. He also points out that Israel, Pakistan and India have not signed the non-proliferation treaty.
Unfortunately, most of the Guardian article is backstory filler about where Castro has been and how ill he is. I'd like to see more of the argument he makes...Incoherent bombast or penetrating analysis? Time to do some surfing.
