United Nations General Assembly (#UNGA) vote for lifting the US blockade against Cuba: 130 votes in favor.
[from a post on IG]
You can observe the impact of the #US blackmail and pressure campaign, as well as the increasing number of rightist governments. But it’s yet another big victory for #Cuba against the monster in Washington.
Ukraine a No? Thought they would at least feel some sympathy for a nation that’s under attack for basically existing.
Ukraine actively enjoys U.S. military support. They’re not looking to create more things Trump can complain about.
The Ukrainian government is also pretty pro-Israel. They don’t tend to extrapolate their own struggles into empathy the way that e.g. Ireland’s government at least nominally does.
Despite what a shit stain Trump is, the US is providing funding and hardware for their war woth Russia. They will vote with the US for the most part, so this doesn’t surprise me at all.
