U.N. votes to end US embargo on Cuba; US and Israel oppose
Pyr_Pressure, What is the reason for the US still doing an embargo? Hasn’t it been like 60 years or whatever?
rhythmisaprancer, 
This seems like such a no brainier but the US always says no.
falsem, (edited ) Yeah, this barely even qualifies as news since they've been doing it for 60 years.
livus, 
I guess this demonstrates that the US doesn't have a problem with blocking civilian access to food and medicine.
... suffers its worst economic crisis in decades, with shortages of food, fuel and medicine.
The non-binding resolution was approved by 187 countries and opposed only by the United States and Israel, with Ukraine abstaining.
I guess Ukraine is scared of upsetting its new bff or the arms loans would stop.
iHUNTcriminals, America isn’t special, that’s just the marketing brand image.
livus, @iHUNTcriminals
isn't special
I can't work out if you're saying the US isn't any worse than other countries, or if you're saying it isn't any better.
millie, Humans are monsters.
iHUNTcriminals, (edited ) They are. I don’t even take government officials seriously… It’s just all pathetic bullshit. They act like children.
I can’t believe people are fucking with that shit … human beings are worth so much more than what government allows.
millie, Your name is literally a brag about being a predator. Come on.
ReallyKinda, What’s a non-binding resolution… a request?
falsem, A non-binding resolution is a motion adopted by a deliberative body that does not enact a law or a substantive rule, and is simply used to make known what the opinions of that body are in relation to a certain fact or event.
Yes, basically a pointless waste of time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-binding_resolution

Basically it means "we really wish we could stop this embargo but we acknowledge that none of us can physically stand up to the US, so we won't attempt to make it illegal for any of us to obey the US".
