Nuclear Winter
Reflections of
Comrade Fidel
I am embarrassed to not know about a subject, one that I have
not even heard mentioned. Otherwise I should have understood
much earlier that the risks of a nuclear war were much more
serious than I imagined. I was assuming that the planet was able
to withstand the explosion of hundreds of nuclear bombs upon
realizing that both in the United States as well as in the USSR
countless tests had been done over the years. I had not taken
into account one quite simple reality: it is not the same to
explode 500 nuclear bombs in 1,000 days as it is to have them
explode in one single day.
