The Cuban embargo has not worked because the Cuban regime of Cuba trades with almost all nations of the world, has economic, political and cultural relations with almost all nations of the world. Canada, All European nations, Germany, Great Britain the UK, France, Italy, Hungary, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Mainland China and other nations. Receives at least 4 million tourists per year from these nations and other nations.

It is clear the western style democratic nations don't care about democracy in Cuba, but they care about democracy in Venezuela and other nations to an extent.

UN votes overwhelmingly to condemn US embargo of Cuba

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — In a slap to the United States, the U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a resolution Thursday condemning the American economic embargo of Cuba and rejected proposed U.S. amendments strongly criticizing the lack of human rights in the island country.

Resolutions adopted by the 193-member world body are unenforceable, but they reflect world opinion and the vote has given Cuba an annual stage for the last 27 years to demonstrate the isolation of the U.S. on the embargo.

It was imposed in 1960 following the revolution led by Fidel Castro and the nationalization of properties belonging to U.S. citizens and corporations, and two years later it was strengthened.

The General Assembly's vote on the Cuban-sponsored resolution on the "Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba" was 189-2 with no abstentions. The U.S. and Israel voted "no" and Moldova and Ukraine did not vote.

In earlier separate votes on the proposed U.S. amendments, Ukraine and Israel were the only countries to join the U.S. in voting "yes" on all eight measures while the Marshall Islands backed one amendment. Some 114 countries voted against the amendments and about 65 abstained

The proposed amendments expressed serious concern at the lack of freedom of expression and access to information in Cuba and the prohibition on workers' right to strike. They called on Cuba to fully grant its citizens "internationally recognized civil, political and economic rights and freedoms," to establish an independent civil society and to release people detained for exercising their human rights.

Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez called the U.S. embargo "a flagrant, massive and systematic violation of the human rights of Cuban men and women" and denounced what he called the politicized U.S. amendments.

"The government of the United States doesn't have the least moral authority to criticize Cuba or anyone when it comes to human rights," he said.

Rodriguez accused the U.S. government of committing "crimes against humanity," pointing to its dropping of the atom bomb in Japan in World War II, waging wars that "caused the death of millions, many of them innocent," and carrying out what he claimed were "extrajudicial executions, kidnapping and torture." He also accused the U.S. of violating the human rights of its citizens, singling out Afro-Americans, Hispanics, minorities, refugees and migrants.

I don’t see the point of the embargo. We trade with many other nations with just as bad governments.

Cold war

That's over.
More like "I want the Cuban expats to vote for my party" for the US administration.

For the Israeli cabinet, it's likely a "I need to remind America that I'm a faithful lapdog".
For Ukraine and Moldova, it's a "I don't want to piss off neither America nor Europe".

[Luziyca]

As a Canadian, I do agree with you on that matter. And besides, embargoes generally hurt the poor, not the rich.

The Point is the only thing hurting the Cuban People like my family still in Cuba is the Cuban government embargo on the Cuban people.

Cubans in Cuba are not allowed to invest in Cuba, even if I send them the money to do so. My family in Cuba is not allowed to invest in the Cuban economy even if I send them the money. Investments in Cuba are done by foreign corporations in partnership with the Cuban regime, and a Cuban government employment agency hires the Cuban workers for those corporations. Cuban are paid in Cup Pesos not in Cuc Pesos - Cuban Convertible Pesos which have a higher value than the Cup Pesos.

The Foreign corporations pay the Cuban government regime in hard currency money.

As Fidel, Raúl, Diaz-Canel and the Cuban regime says, we are the continuity of the revolution, of the eternal revolution.

[The Black Forrest]

Time ended Fidel. The embargoes failed. Time will end Raul. The embargoes will fail again.

In fact we trade with worse governments like the Saudis

The cold war is over, but this is not about the cold war.

Cuban Americans know no one in the world cares about western style democracy in Cuba, this is a statement made by many Cuban Americans when we talk about Cuba with each other. The western style democratic nations don't care about western style democracy in Cuba, this is a statement made by many Cuban Americans when we talk about Cuba with each other.

But their are exceptions of persons and political parties in certain nations, but they are very few and rare.

[Samudera Darussalam]

I don't understand why after the Cold War ended, there should be any embargo at the first place. I think people understand that like Iraq, it's possibly going to affect civilians more than the very government they want to fall, I hope?

I don't support efforts in forcing Western-style democracy on every nation on earth. Nations have their own characteristics and although civil rights and freedom are nice to have, I don't think it's going to work just as nicely in every place.

[Gormwood]

Embargo 2.0 is pretty much the result of Trump's Obama Envy.

[Farnhamia]

We already have a thread on Venezuela, viewtopic.php?f=20&t=458537. It's officially dead but I wouldn't object to a revival. I'm a little hesitant about letting this be a thread on "all Cuba issues" but we'll see how it develops.

Thank you Farnhamia for giving my thread on Cuba a chance. the Poll options that say discuss or used to and is probably still on the OP introduction Post covers Cuba and the current issues of Venezuela well.

I will use only this nation to post on my Cuba thread.

quick question. I see many of the nations who seem to have a Problem with me strongly defending President Trump are posting on my Cuba thread. They have made views I can quote on. I see their nations, am I allowed to quote them on any threads without breaking an NS rule of conduct? Except for Therm and Gormwood and a few nations I know for sure. Many others I am not sure, but I see all their nations from all my nations on all threads? So they have not officially put me on their ignore lists from what I seem to understand?

I am afraid to quote them and get in trouble with the Moderators and banned from NS which we all love or ruin my clean record which I am very proud of and wish to keep clean. I post it because I am very proud of my clean record.

Apparently they have not put me on ignore. I see at least 18 nations who seem to have a problem with me on my Greater Miami Shores nation and NS Miami nations and perhaps others.

Thank You Farnhamia,

NS Miami Shores Alberto.

You can link or quote people's posts in other threads, yes.

[NS Miami]

Time ended Fidel. The embargoes failed. Time will end Raul. The embargoes will fail again.

I am not sure if The Black Forest does not want me to post, link and quote to him on this thread or any thread. If the Black Forest does not want me to post, link and quote to him without putting me on ignore, he can tell me on this thread, but I might not see his post.

Any nation is welcomed to send me a decent TG stating so and I will honor their wishes and their decision, without putting my nations on ignore if they wish. If they wish to put me on ignore they are welcomed too. I will not put any nations on NS nation states on ignore.

I agree with you. But the reasons are the international support of the Cuban government eternal revolutionary Military Mafia Regime by the western style democratic capitalist nations of the world, as I posted about on the OP introduction Post.

Even by right wing Prime Minister of Hungary Viktor Orbán, whom I support on many issues. Hungay has economic, political, cultural and tourist diplomatic relations with the Cuban regime.

As does Canada, All European nations, Germany, Great Britain the UK, France, Italy, Hungary, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Mainland China, the Hispanic nations and other nations. Receives at least 4 million tourists per year from these nations and other nations.

As Fidel, Raúl, Diaz-Canel and the Cuban regime says, we are the continuity of the revolution, of the eternal revolution.

As Hillary Clinton would say, or actually I say, about those western style democratic capitalist leaders in this case, a basket of Deplorables. Hillary Clinton coined this phrase in American Politics.

[US-SSR]

Many people are saying the Cuba embargo will be dropped after Raul Castro comes up with some dirt on Joe and Hunter Biden...

But seriously folks, the embargo isn't working because embargos don't work. Neither do blockades (which would btw also be an act of war). And if Trump decided tomorrow that carpet bombing Havana or inviting Maduro to a state dinner would polish his apples with his base, then that would be US policy.

Never said you can’t post or quote me on anything.....

[Rakenshi]

The only way true democracy takes a hold of Cuba, is if American capitalism finds its way into the island and flushes all the communism straight out.

[Gormwood]

Obama tried that, but of course Trump is always haunted by that WHCD which means Black Man Bad so he undid the opening up of Cuba and put on Embargo 2.0 to give that Uppity Kenyan Muslim whatfor.

[Senkaku]

you gotta admit, the cubans must be fuckin pros if they've managed to jiujitsu themselves into the position of senior partner in their weird alliance thing w venezuela despite being poorer and smaller and less oil producing

[Samudera Darussalam]

At this point Cuba seems to be wealthier, I guess.

Schrodinger's Cuba, somehow both a crumbling, miserable, starving failed state and the secret Latin American hegemon whose power can uphold or topple governments in far larger and wealthier nations.

[Cantelo]

The embargo on Cuba is such a pointless and hypocritical relic of the Cold War that continues "just because." If we trade with openly despotic countries such as China, then how can we pretend that we're blockading Cuba due to some nebulous concept of freedom for the Cuban people? They ain't no liberal paradise but they're no North Korea, either.

This blockade just hurts the people who have family on the island. I have a classmate who was nearly in tears because the Department of State recently began restricting all flights to Cuba except for Havana, and his family lives on the opposite end of Havana. It's just gross and callous.

Combination of pandering to the Cuban exile community who had their goodies taken away by Castro and Trump trying to say "Up Yours, Nigger" to Obama after he began defrosting relations with Cuba and allowed travel there.
