Wonderful interview with Fidel Antonio Castro Smirnov, nuclear physicist and grandson of Fidel Castro.
“The Cuban Revolution is not a flimsy structure that collapses with the wind; it is a conviction rooted in the soul of our homeland. The kidnapping of a constitutional president and the looting of a sovereign country’s natural resources constitute acts of modern-day piracy, a return to diplomatic barbarism that demonstrates the desperation of an empire in decline.
“Cubans have ample experience facing enormous dangers stemming from the US empire. We defeated the Bay of Pigs invasion, we survived the October Crisis, and the Special Period when we lost 85 per cent of our trade overnight following the collapse of the socialist camp.
“Furthermore, we have heroically resisted a criminal economic and financial blockade for more than 67 years...
“If Trump believes that by stifling our energy he will bring us to our knees, it is because he knows neither the lineage nor the history of the Cuban people. The cost will be very high, yes, and the suffering terrible and unjust, but sovereignty is not negotiable under any circumstances. We will resist with intelligence, with unity, and with the solidarity of free peoples who do not accept imperialist dictates...
“The unipolar moment is dead. Washington’s aggression is a symptom of its weakness, not its strength; it is the lash of a wounded beast watching the world cease to obey it blindly. The multipolar vision we defend is the only viable route for the survival of our species.
“The consolidation of Brics and the autonomy of the global South offer us commercial and financial alternatives outside the dictatorship of the dollar. We are not alone. Historical time is on our side, even if the present is very painful.”
