Once again (16th time) the US has voted against lifting the embargo on Cuba. It just shows how out of touch the US is with the rest of the world.

The UN General Assembly has voted overwhelmingly, for the 16th year in a row, in favour of lifting the 45-year-old US trade embargo against communist-ruled Cuba.

The vote by the 192-member assembly was carried by 184 in favour, four against and one abstention.

In a virtual repeat of last year's vote, the United States, Israel, Palau and the Marshall Islands voted against the resolution, while Micronesia abstained.

I expect they will invade Cuba as soon as Castro dies.

AKA The United Nations of America.

they will lift it when castro dies, wonder what the betting odds are ummmmmm

The clock is ticking. Depends on the iron content of his brother's fist as to how much longer it will go on, but I don't see the communist rule lasting beyond his lifetime.
