Fidel Castro Offers Cooperation with US in Fight Against Ebola

I hope everyone here can get over the 'source' long enough to read the article:

http://rt.com/news/197184-fidel-castro-cuba-ebola/?utm_source=browser&utm_medium=aplication_chrome&utm_campaign=chrome

Edit: to add some text:

Fidel Castro has expressed Cuba’s readiness to cooperate with the US in the global fight against Ebola. Cuba has been on the frontline of international response to the worst outbreak in the disease's history.

In his article “Time of Duty,” which was published on Saturday, the retired Cuban leader said that medical staff trying to save lives are the best example of human solidarity. Fighting together against the epidemic can protect the people of Cuba, Latin America, and the US from the deadly virus, he added.

even our enemies are subject to our common enemy. Not that it matters here, but I believe Putin is more politically astute than our government. imho

For curiosity's sake, I'll look for M$M source...not holding my breath.

Edit: Well maybe this source can be 'stomached' more easily by the anti-RT folks:

to make arrangements for them assist us with training and preparing to deal with Ebola.

As that Washington Post article states Cuba is fighting way above her weight assisting with Ebola - Cuban medical personnel and Doctors without Borders - we can count on them all the time.
