On more than 30 occasions, the United Nations Assembly has discussed the blockade against Cuba, which costs the island 5 billion dollars annually, according to some estimates. Every year the resolution is proposed and the whole world, through the vote of the absolute majority of the member countries of the United Nations General Assembly, has condemned the imperialist attitude of the United States towards Cuba.

    Every year the resolution is proposed and the whole world, through the vote of the absolute majority of the member countries of the United Nations General Assembly, has condemned the imperialist attitude of the United States towards Cuba.

    And just like every year, the vote will do nothing.

      it’ll add up to a hell of a lot of justified reparations when the US backs down.

          yeah, The US backs down.

          they backed down in Vietnam, they backed down in iran, somalia, they backed down investigating the Saudi Arabian terrorists in 9/11(which is almost all of them), and the list goes on.

          the US is not often gracious about backing down or wise enough to back down prudently, but they do back down.

              Well, we successfully shifted all the wealth my generation will ever create over to ultra-rich Defense contractors.

                I was just happy to act as a downvote lightning rod while adding to your excellent list :)
