      It was the 31st straight year that the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly condemned the crippling U.S. blockade on the socialist nation.

      It doesn’t seem to be having much effect.

        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.

      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.

                  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.

                    Six decades of the embargo has cost Cuba trillions of dollars Source

                    What could Cuba do with that money? Develop resources.

                    Also, that’s an older report. It’s been updated with this little gem-

                    The United States continued a failed policy of isolation towards Cuba, including a decades-long embargo on trade with Cuba.

                    Source Seems I found the knowledge I was lacking.
