The United Nations General Assembly has almost unanimously voted to condemn the US embargo on Cuba, in the first such resolution since US-Cuban diplomatic ties were restored earlier this year.

Cuuuuubaaaaaa

But of course Cuba’s leadership and the regime isn’t suspect for what it has done to it’s own people for over six decades.

They couldn’t find work, couldn’t have free speech, or leave...

Ah, that’s nothing compared to us not playing along with that.

The UN is a Commie Nest, we should not send another dime on those a-holes and make them re-locate to Brussels

If every other country on the planet trades with PR Cuba why do they need US trade? They should be doing great without us greedy capitalists.

Cuba needs a new uncle sugar to prop up the Castro boys for a few more years.

If we had a real president he would piss on their little parade, but seeing as we have socialist apologist fudgepacker as resident I expect him to drop like the submissive little shit he is and piddle all over himself and the U.S.

Since Obama was the one who recognized Cuba back in July, I can’t imagine why he hasn’t ended the embargo. It’s just another indication that the wheelhouse of state is empty and has been for a long time.

Are the people better off under Castro? Cuba trades with the whole world and still is a basket case with only Castro and his fellow mass murderers doing well.

I suppose the middle schoolers will fret over their popularity status and cave to the fascists at the UN?
