    Embargo against Cuba is so unjust that even the Ukraine, who openly voted for nazism in UN, and is basically nothing more than US pawn, didn’t supported it.

    It wouldn’t even matter what they voted because of the US veto power, but the absolute brazenness of Isn’treal is infuriating.

    See a lot of these UN votes but do they even do anything?

      Yes, surprisingly enough! That is… unless someone on the Security Council doesn’t veto the vote. Which lowers the odds of anything useful being passed to 0%.

          Yes, but not exactly, the Security Council is made up of 5 world superpowers and their collectives representatives. China, America, Russia, France, and England. If any one country does not like the resolution, they may veto it, which immediately stops the whole process.

            Wow. Thanks for educating me! This is depressing but also not the most surprising. I don’t think it’s cool for the US to be like “Uh, actually, you can’t tell me what to do because I’m a superpower.”

              Yes, in fact this exact same vote has happened every single year since 1971. Every single year, nearly every nation on Earth has voted to end the Cuban blockade as it is a human rights violation, and a crime against peace in violation of the Geneva Convention.

              The United States has vetoed the resolution every year.

                Oh my god? Votes been going on longer than my mom’s been alive!
                Big bad US is fucking terrified of Cuba. Is there not anything other countries can do? Only vote and twiddle their thumbs?

                  The United States see’s itself as the “world policeman” and will not let anyone get in its way.

                  Sadly there is nothing any other country can do, and this is where the common joke of the UN being absolutely useless comes from. Plus even if the United States is unable to stop a process, it simply doesn’t care. For example in Guatemala v United States, in the International Court of Justice, the UN found that the US’ arming of the fascist death squads “Contras” in Guatemala to be illegal, and that they were to cease immediately and pay reparations to Guatemala for the hundreds of thousands murdered by the Contras and their CIA handlers.

                  The US’ response?

                  “Get bent”

                  Or, in 2001, there was significant uproar in the UN over American war crimes in Iraq, and the fact that the Iraq war was unjustified and not authorized by the Security Council. The US responded by passing the “Hague Invasion Act” which I shit you not, quite literally says that the US will declare war on the Netherlands and send US armed forces to occupy the Hague, if American personnel are tried or extradited for war crimes by the International Court.

      Moldova is currently under threat by Ukraine, and is trying to keep a low profile and not draw any attention to themselves. They usually vote to end the embargo.

    Make no mistake, the EU, Canada, Australia, etc effectively support the embargo no matter how they vote. If they truly opposed it, and actually gave a shit about human rights, they would be trading with Cuba and providing a bypass from the US to the Western market. Actions speak louder than words, and inaction voids all your words.

    They were instantly chomping at the bit to trade with Taiwan when the PRC sanctioned it, remember? Same with Ukraine? So they’ve already shown that they can and will do that for countries that their enemies hate, just not for countries their friends hate.
