TIL the existence of antisemitism as reported by the New York Times is “alt right propaganda”

And yet, it isn’t sovereign

Okay, I suppose, but it’s also a sovereign nation, whole the UN is not

The UN is a political organization and says whatever countries vote it to say. It’s also not a legislative organization, it’s basically a big political club of people who like to write strongly worded letters about things. Only the UNSC has teeth, and that hasn’t declared it illegal for obvious reasons.

That’s all legal actions the US can take.

You and I agree that they’re unwise and unjustified. But they’re legal.

Yeah. No. Like, I’m not a fan of the embargo, I don’t see any purpose to it.

That being said, it is patently idiotic to say that it’s illegal for the US to not want to trade with Cuba. Brazil can trade with whoever they want and embargo whoever they want. Same with the US. It’s called national sovereignty. If the US was interdicting shipping going to Cuba, or blocking air traffic, or whatever, then he might have a point, but that’s not happening.

US trade policy with Cuba might be unproductive and ill advised, but it is dishonest to say that it is an illegal policy. It’s never illegal to not trade with a certain country. Cuba doesn’t have a right under international law to sell their exports to American consumers.
