    Yes, you are right, de facto the UN has very little authority over countries. But however powerless, they can still try to nudge countries away from doing what they definitely shouldn’t be doing through coordinating international opinion.

        I’m sure they’ve never thought of that before. They should give you a job as head of their diplomatic corps with ideas like this.

          Trump resumed trade prohibitions. After that I don’t know. But that is the way to change relationships. Last I heard, Cuba actually arrested some Russians for recruiting Cubans for the Ukraine War. Which was, I should think, a good sign. But, Cubans know the way to Blinken’s office.
