"Fidel Castro to US: you owe us millions"

"Castro wrote: "Cuba is owed compensation equivalent to damages, which total many millions of dollars, as our country has stated with irrefutable arguments and data in all of its speeches at the United Nations.""
He did not go into detail on precisely how much money he reckons Washington owes Havana. The Americans are also claiming compensation for US-owned property, such as real estate, that was confiscated when Castro took power.
Castro made no mention either of Kerry's visit to reopen the embassy...
Over the years, Fidel Castro has been a frequent contributor of essays to the communist party newspaper Granma and other media. Thursday's was his first piece since May 8.
"Writing is a way to be useful, if you keep in mind that we poor humans must be more and better educated in the face of the incredible ignorance that surrounds us all, except for researchers who use science to seek a satisfactory answer," Castro wrote.
Castro must have heard about Iran Sanctions Relief.

Millions, Why not go for trillions Dr Evil?

He'll probably get it too, along with an nuke.

Every scumbag crony is lining up to "trade" with Castro. All Castro has to trade is a sense of entitlement. Suck it up American taxpayer.

Fidel Castro: Greediest Tyrant In World History?

"We noted years ago that Fidel Castro ranked high on Forbes’ list of the richest people in the world with unearned wealth. As his economic policies forced his countrymen into increasingly desperate poverty, Castro himself has lived for decades like a pasha. It is doubtful whether any of history’s rogues gallery of warlords and tyrants has ever stolen a larger portion of his country’s wealth than Fidel Castro."

"Castro maintains his own private hospital, where two people who share his blood type are housed. Just in case. And his family has its own herd of cows, with one cow assigned to each member of the family to precisely match that person’s taste in milk."

Michael Totten wrote about his visit to Cuba a few years back. It's well worth reading.

The poverty of the people, the sickly livestock, the run-down cities and ghost towns - all destroyed, squished and squandered by a communist dictator-for-life. A corrupt dictator beloved by decadent American leftists. The Clinton's dream of such power and luxury.

It sure would be nice if the Castro brothers would take the big dirt nap.

btw - I was approached yesterday by someone looking for me to sign the petition to bring "Universal Health Care" to Colorado.

Here it comes. Castro-care.

Greed. When communism just isn't enough.

Hey, Fidel, come and take 'em.

We should have a drone kill him tomorrow. That would get Obama's approval ratings up over 60% I bet.

Castro is demonic. But then so is Obama. And "incredible ignorance" is what enables their misrule.

He didn't spend 7 years at Evil Revolutionary School for nothing!

I see ampersand mind runs like mine. Millions... It's probably worth 3 million to shut this stupidity up versus the time needed to argue it. And who is he really talking to? Not the American people. He's talking to Obama. With Obama/Kerry, he could probably get them to fund a nuclear reactor and direct NASA to launch missiles from Cuba, as well provide a billion or so for the privilege to operate in Cuba. Sure, it is only reasonable we allow Cuban inspectors to review the drawings for the reactor and launch vehicles. Will pay the copy fees. And oh yeah, we will move out of Guantanamo just as soon as we release the prisoners back in ISIS held Iraq.

My my...that little demand didn't take long. Sorry, dude, the ex-pat Cubans who had their property confiscated by your brother think they should be first in line...and for compensation by YOU.
