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.
Ukraine a No? Thought they would at least feel some sympathy for a nation that's under attack for basically existing.
Canada, Mexico, UK, France, and Japan all voting For.
israel and usa always vote against but Ukraine and some other EU countries... wtf. they used to abstain
Kudos to the few South and Central American and Caribbean countries that didn't bend their knee or look the other way.
every single time.
900% tariffs to countries who voted 'for' /s
Cuba should become our biggest trading partner -- especially if they just turn around and sell it onward at a small profit.
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?
Will this do anything?
