Bývalý kubánsky líder predpovedal pád dolára.

„Nebude dlho trvať a začne dolárová kríza“, povedal kedysi Fidel Castro.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Thursday that his close friend Fidel Castro predicted the fall of the U.S. dollar. Chavez said Cuba's 81-year-old former president mentioned the prediction some time ago before signs of a weakening dollar had begun to appear.


"Fidel told me one day, 'Chavez, it won't be long before the crisis of the dollar occurs,'" the Venezuelan leader said in a televised speech.


Chavez said Castro handed him a document he had written during one of their meetings in Havana that said "the United States has bought half the world with paper bills that don't have real backing. ... The world can't sustain that bubble."


"There it is, the crisis of the dollar," Chavez said.


Chavez called the United States' economic woes a "terrible economic crisis," noted that some Americans are losing their jobs and suggested that much worse is to come.
