Quote:Because sometimes it's OK for a large country to dominate a smaller one and wreck its economy, the US continues to uphold economic sanctions on Cuba.I don't agree with America's policy with Cuba or Ukraine's support of it. Your whole argument however is a massive tu quoque. America's policy on Cuba in no way makes Russia's policies on Ukraine okay....
The UN votes against this regularly. This time only the US and Israel (that well-known beacon of human rights) voted in favor of the sanctions, with Brazil and Ukraine abstaining. Strange that Ukraine thinks it's OK for a larger country to dominate a small one. All other member states voted against.

Just in case the goals of the sanctions are unclear, here is the original document laying out their purpose.
