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.
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?

Please spell it out for us, what does Cuba need to do to get America to act like a normal country? We know it has nothing to do with “free and fair elections,” because there are plenty of countries the US isn’t embargoing that don’t have that. The US Has No Business Lecturing Cuba About “Free and Fair” Elections
Do you think the Secretary of State—who is facilitating genocide in Gaza as we speak—should be the world’s arbiter of universal human rights? If you look at the UN General Assembly vote on the matter, every year for the last 31 years, you will find that the world almost unanimously disagrees.
Do you seriously think they haven’t tried?

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.

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.
