      Why not? It’s the only power orgs like the UN have in situations like these.

        The UN exists to prevent another major war between great powers. Alienating such powers is counterproductive.

            Sure. But we’re talking about an embargo. Everyone has the right to use embargoes, and they’re a time-honored method of non-violent opposition. Framing this as the US transgressing some boundary is hyperbole at best.

              What is the point of this embargo? What is it trying to accomplish? What is worse about the Cuban government, than all the other countries the US doesn’t embargo?

                  No it isn’t. Non-violent opposition to what? Everyone also has the right to violent opposition, but the context makes all the difference.
