Seeing how the UN just allows the US to keep up the Cuba embargo even after all other members (aside from Israel) voted it should end. I fail to see how this really would do anything. The only nations that would be hurt from UN actions are basically less economically dominate ones and/or ones that the US has it out for. If a smaller nation is tight with the US (like Israel), it gets support that makes the sanctions slaps on the wrist. It might be possible for the UN to be helpful if it were able to lift all embargoes to places like Cuba, DPRK, Iran, etc and not fall to pieces/back down when the US cries about it. The US is a very important market of course, but if the rest of the world effectively formed a picket line and refused to trade with the US. Then we might see a more diverse world. Right now would be a perfect time to do it. Due to the capitalist greed of the US private sector, so many parts of the US manufacturing isn’t in the US. Lots of very crucial raw materials are effectively looted from all over the world. As we have seen with the pandemic and the supply chain stuff, the US can’t afford catching even a tiny sample of the same embargoes it continues to place on other nations. China is doing a good job at winning over the hearts and minds of more and more nations. Even if it were all in bad faith (like how most western/capitalist media likes to claim), they are acting rational and giving a supportive stance. While the US has been going all world police everywhere and going around creating a constant fear cycle. To deal with the US is like paying mob folks “protection” money.
