UN Vote Exposes U.S. Pressure and Hypocrisy Over Sanctions on Cuba

[A video about #Cuba, hosted on the #PeerTube server #CuddlyTube, from the #video collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

For more than 30 years, the #UN General Assembly has voted overwhelmingly to end the #US embargo on Cuba.

But this year, the number grew slightly: seven countries voted NO, and a few more abstained.

According to Professor #WilliamLeoGrande, most of those opposing nations either rely heavily on Washington, like #Israel and #Ukraine, or have conservative governments ideologically opposed to Cuba.

Others are nations clashing with Russia, viewing Cuba as its ally.

Behind the numbers lies US diplomatic pressure. Washington can force votes, LeoGrande says, but not genuine support.
