United Nations General Assembly (#UNGA) vote for lifting the US blockade against Cuba: 130 votes in favor.

[from a post on IG]

You can observe the impact of the #US blackmail and pressure campaign, as well as the increasing number of rightist governments. But it's yet another big victory for #Cuba against the monster in Washington.

900% tariffs to countries who voted 'for' /s

Will this do anything?

Of course not.

Cuba should become our biggest trading partner -- especially if they just turn around and sell it onward at a small profit.

Canada, Mexico, UK, France, and Japan all voting For.

Why are Germany, Italy and some other European country neutral on this? Like i get the US is able to influence Ukraine or South American countries but why is Europe enabling the US?

israel and usa always vote against but Ukraine and some other EU countries... wtf. they used to abstain

because they'll be punished if they don't bend the knee?
