The U.N. General Assembly called for the 31st time on the United States to end its decades-long trade embargo against Cuba as the communist-run island suffers its worst economic crisis in decades, with shortages of food, fuel and medicine.

    What I’m implying is if Cuba wants normalization it knows how to get it. The way to get it is not through the UN. Has Cuba the one dragging feet? IDK, when was the last time they had a free and fair election?

      Please spell it out for us, what does Cuba need to do to get America to act like a normal country? We know it has nothing to do with “free and fair elections,” because there are plenty of countries the US isn’t embargoing that don’t have that. The US Has No Business Lecturing Cuba About “Free and Fair” Elections

          Do you think the Secretary of State—who is facilitating genocide in Gaza as we speak—should be the world’s arbiter of universal human rights? If you look at the UN General Assembly vote on the matter, every year for the last 31 years, you will find that the world almost unanimously disagrees.

            Who do you want as the arbiter? Hamas?

              The UN should be the arbiter, that was literally the fucking point.

                That’s funny.
