All nations should just start trading with cuba and sanction the US instead. They commit way more war crimes and crimes against humanity than cuba ever could
Obama did a lot to normalize relationships, attempt to shift internal optics about the current Cuban government, now that Fidel is dead, and pave a way for a diplomatic and politically reasonable end to the embargo. But then the Cheeto came into power.
Cuba is an island in the Caribbean. I’ve been to most of them, and there is a common problem of not having an economic and industrial base. No matter how you cut it,they don’t have the resources to become viable countries, but they nonetheless try. All you have to do is to search the internet for the knowledge you’re lacking.
Sure. But we’re talking about an embargo. Everyone has the right to use embargoes, and they’re a time-honored method of non-violent opposition. Framing this as the US transgressing some boundary is hyperbole at best.
What is the point of this embargo? What is it trying to accomplish? What is worse about the Cuban government, than all the other countries the US doesn’t embargo?
Nonbinding resolutions prepared to embarrass nations is not a good look UN
Why not? Shame is good for bad behavior
It doesn’t seem to be having much effect.

Excuse me but I got word of some horrible human rights abuses in Cuba, from a place called “Guantanamo Bay”.

I don’t think it’s bad behavior any more than sanctions on bad world actors. Cuba knows how to approach the US, and the UN helps nothing.
And in what world is Cuba a bad world actor? Also, please make sure to point out why the US is a good world actor.
History of Cuba for young people…Castro’s revenge
Vague conspiracies, not a good look.
Ain’t conspiracies bub. Just stuff you never learned.
Teach me then. I love to learn.

Then, the whole world should sanction the US then.
Why not? It’s the only power orgs like the UN have in situations like these.
The UN exists to prevent another major war between great powers. Alienating such powers is counterproductive.
Letting those powers do whatever they want is counter productive.

Whether the embargo is justified or not is beside my point.
No it isn’t. Non-violent opposition to what? Everyone also has the right to violent opposition, but the context makes all the difference.
Violence, by definition, is unjustified. But that is also beside my point. Which has to do with the UN, not the embargo.
So is letting such a power bully another country via pointless economic sanctions. Or do you not remember how Hitler got popular in Nazi Germany?
