Lots of more popular support for ending the embargo on Cuba, and there’s even a UN vote where all countries aside from 5 voted to ending the embargo on Cuba, but there’s very little international support for ending the sanctions on North Korea. Does anyone know why this is? Surely if you want to end sanctions on Cuba, it’s only logical to want to end sanctions on North Korea too?

    I think the fact that many countries are mad about the DPRK having nukes probably plays a role. Also the sanctions against the DPRK have not been as effective and they haven’t been in full force for as long and I would guess that has an effect. Lastly Cuba is culturally western and majority white I would not be surprised at all if that has a significant effect on how sympathetic people in the west are towards them.

    Also yeah as others have said so much more propaganda.
