The U.N. General Assembly called for the 31st time on the United States to end its decades-long trade embargo against Cuba as the communist-run island suffers its worst economic crisis in decades, with shortages of food, fuel and medicine.
While it hasn’t happened yet congress has authorized the president to do just that if any (important) American armed service member catches war crime charges.
Trump resumed trade prohibitions. After that I don’t know. But that is the way to change relationships. Last I heard, Cuba actually arrested some Russians for recruiting Cubans for the Ukraine War. Which was, I should think, a good sign. But, Cubans know the way to Blinken’s office.
Actually, Obama started them on their way to normalization. Then Trump reapplied sanctions. So it wasn’t a straight 60 years. They want to get on the path that they agreed to again, I’m sure SecState would be receptive. And that is the way it’s done.
What I’m implying is if Cuba wants normalization it knows how to get it. The way to get it is not through the UN. Has Cuba the one dragging feet? IDK, when was the last time they had a free and fair election?
The UN has no authority over the way the US does business as a country.
Yes, the US is a Rogue State
Russia has a leader wanted at the Hague.
The US should have leaders wanted at the Hague, and perhaps would if not for the Hague Invasion Act.
Yeah, ĝotta teach our troops how to butcher civilians and steal children.

Cuba can talk to our Secretary of State just like any country wishing to change our relationship.
I’m sure they’ve never thought of that before. They should give you a job as head of their diplomatic corps with ideas like this.

You keep saying that, implying that going to Blinken’s office would do fuck-all to change America’s 60+ year embargo when it obviously wouldn’t.
Actually, Obama started them on their way to normalization. Then Trump reapplied sanctions. So it wasn’t a straight 60 years. They want to get on the path that they agreed to again, I’m sure SecState would be receptive. And that is the way it’s done.
Stop implying that Cuba is the one dragging its feet. It’s the US’s unilateral embargo, which it can stop any time it wants with the stroke of a pen, as the US General Assembly has called for it to do every single year for the past 31 years.
