yesterday: United States-Cuba Clash Pauses General Assembly Debate as Member States Press for End to Embargo
the vote (via this UN tweet):
It’s called Capitulation. It has a terrible history. For Germany to capitulate to Trump is a hard pill to swallow for me. Those who don’t learn from history…
I’m sure there is some valid-ish reason, by why don’t other countries just support Cuba? There are a lot of places on there that voted to lift the embargo, so why don’t they? I can understand these days that a psycho Trump admin would potentially bomb supporters, but with any amount of a concerted effort from multiple countries, I doubt even that cunt would pull that trigger.
It’s fucked up living in the country enforcing the embargo, but it feels like others could step up.
its to close the the us being right off florida. Remeber we spend 3x what china does on the military or the combination of the next six countries combined.
It is, but if a handful of UN countries decided they were done with it, it would be suicidal for the US to attack any of them. Strength in numbers and all that. Again, I’m sure that I’m downplaying and simplifying the matter, but having a bunch of the UN just telling the US to fuck off on their torture of Cuba shouldn’t be an insurmountable task.
not militarily. maybe diplomatically but with our current head of state…
