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.
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.
