The world prepares to vote against the US blockade on Cuba : Peoples Dispatch
peoplesdispatch.org
The US blockade on Cuba has been widely condemned by the majority of the world, yet in recent years, instead of lifting it, successive US administrations have made it worse.

On more than 30 occasions, the United Nations Assembly has discussed the blockade against Cuba, which costs the island 5 billion dollars annually, according to some estimates. Every year the resolution is proposed and the whole world, through the vote of the absolute majority of the member countries of the United Nations General Assembly, has condemned the imperialist attitude of the United States towards Cuba.

    You’re absolutely right. In retrospect I should have known better than to engage with somebody saying “why doesn’t the UN just stop wars?”

        Every conversation on the Internet will eventually devolve into an argument over who said what.

        I was paraphrasing “Simple, prevent wars. Kick leaders in the balls. Lessen human suffering and violence.” Specifically the first part. If you meant something else I invite you to clarify. But so far you didn’t seem to have developed your thoughts past “prevent wars” and “the UN is useless”.
