De EU uiteindelijk als de grote verliezer?
Naast dat alles rijst de vraag: moet de EU zich daar verder moeien of gaat dat schadelijke gevolgen krijgen? (die zijn er al volgens sommige teksten op het net)
Niet dat ik een aanhanger ben maar toch even dit:

There is no verifiable evidence that **Fidel Castro** ever said the exact quote:
*"The next war in Europe will be between Russia and fascism, except that fascism will be called democracy."*
This statement is often attributed to Castro in online discussions, particularly in anti-Western or pro-Russian contexts, but no reliable source (such as speeches, interviews, or writings) confirms he actually said it.
### Possible Origins:
1. **Misattribution** – The quote may have been falsely linked to Castro due to his historical criticism of Western imperialism and NATO.
2. **Paraphrasing** – Some of Castro's actual statements criticized Western powers for labeling adversaries as "fascist" while supporting authoritarian regimes, but he did not phrase it this way.
3. **
Propaganda Use** – The quote circulates in pro-Russian narratives, especially since the 2022 Ukraine war, where Russia falsely claims to be "fighting fascism."
### What Castro *Did* Say:
Castro frequently condemned U.S. foreign policy and NATO expansion, but he never predicted a war in Europe with this exact wording. For example:
- In a 2010 interview, he warned of the dangers of global conflict but did not mention this Russia vs. "fascism" framing.
- He supported the Soviet Union during the Cold War but later criticized aspects of Russian policy under Putin.
### Conclusion:
This quote is likely
**apocryphal**—a fabrication or distortion attributed to Castro for political effect. If you're looking for verified Castro quotes, sources like his speeches (*Granma* archives) or interviews (e.g., *The New York Times*, *CNN*) are more reliable.
