  • Possibly dumb question: couldn’t all of the countries that voted in favor just reinstate trade with Cuba anyway? If the US tries to swing its dick around, refer those saps to the infallibility of the international rules-based order, the UN charter, and threaten to cut off trade with the evil empire should it continue endangering the free movement of goods. It would be funny, likely effective, and well deserved, especially at a time where US soft power is already waning. Feel like we have a lot more to lose than most of these other nations if we tried enforcing our delirious terms on them.

    ETA: Of course, I mean the larger, industrial nations with large trade networks; I can certainly understand how/why a smaller country who relies a lot on US imports/exports don’t want to set off the bloodthirsty burger empire.
