Fidel Castro, Leader of the Cuban Revolution rest in peace

Fidel Castro, the fiery apostle of revolution who brought the Cold War to the Western Hemisphere in 1959 and then defied the United States for nearly half a century as Cuba’s maximum leader, bedeviling 11 American presidents and setting Cuban people free from Neo-colonial and imperial dominion of the Amenrican power, died Friday. He was 90.

His death was announced by Cuban state television.

Can anyone explain how Corbyn's praise of Castro is different from Thatcher's praise of Pinochet? Thought not.https://t.co/VGR7Q4BpoS
