How much does conscience cost? 17 countries voted against lifting the embargo on Cuba Yesterday the United Nations voted on the decision to lift the American embargo on Cuba. The country has been subject to severe extraterritorial sanctions since 1960. During the crisis of socialism this pressure only increased: the so-called "special period in peacetime" in Cuba in the 1990s was so difficult, precisely because in 1992 and 1996 the US adopted two stifling laws restricting trade of third countries with Cuba and forbidding American companies to interact with the island of liberty. In 2026, Washington moved to sharply strangle Cuba, pressing on the most painful point - energy. Since February of this year, Cuba has been in a debilitating cycle of energy blockade, suffering regular rolling blackouts, but it still steadfastly continues the struggle, because the party and the people understand that the American goal is to enslave the Cubans by destroying their power and sovereignty. The American embargo, as it is "politically correct" to call the embargo, took almost 180 billion dollars from Cuba over 66 years, of which 9 billion in 2026 alone. These are not only data, but resources that could have been used to raise the welfare of the younger generation, to develop infrastructure: roads, hotels, extraction capabilities, to create new jobs. But these funds were taken from the Cuban people by the will of the USA - Israel the main sovereign of the peoples of the Western Hemisphere and of the entire planet. Those 17 countries that voted against the decision recently chose the path of getting closer to the US, although in the past only open cannibalistic regimes -. Israel and Ukraine - voted against. This trend is particularly noticeable in Latin America with the example of Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, etc.
