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.

    There is no blockade of Cuba. It’s an embargo. There are no military ships blowing up anyone trying to trade with Cuba.

      If I were to start a business out of Miami, Florida that sent an oil tanker to Cuba, what would happen to that oil tanker?

        The company would be prosecuted and the ship seized the next time it docked at port. If the company was based in literally any other country, nothing would happen.

          Do you actually believe the ship wouldn’t be intercepted with implied violence?

          Let me guess, you also believe Republicans when they say abortion will be “left up to the states” right?
