It’s pretty clear you somehow counted Ukraine being invaded by Russia as reason for Ukraine to not oppose the murderous embargo on Cuba

thats funny, 'it being pretty clear that i meant russia' is a weird reason for thinking i meant cuba

It’s pretty clear you somehow counted Ukraine being invaded by Russia as reason for Ukraine to not oppose the murderous embargo on Cuba, unrelated country on the other side of the world.

currently relying on military aid from the US government to deal with an ongoing invasion might be a reason to abstain from voting against an embargo being upheld by the US government

'the other US vassals' are generally not currently relying on military aid from the US government to deal with an ongoing invasion

i figured that was pretty clearly what i was talking about, what with it being the literal topic of the conversation:

They’re receiving a lot of military support from the US, so it’s not surprising that they’d at least be cautious about taking a position that might harm ties with the US.
