CUBAN Communist Party leader Raul Castro saluted 60 years of revolutionary victory on New Year’s Day and warned the United States that attempts to crush the island were doomed to failure.
“We are a whole people defending our revolution,” he declared. “We are not intimidated by the language of force or threats.”
Mr Castro acknowledged that the “imperial fence was closing around Venezuela, Nicaragua and our country,” with “imperialist forces willing to challenge international law, contravene the rules of international trade and aggressively apply extraterritorial measures and laws against the sovereignty of other states.”
