The U.S. Treasury Department has made clear that Cuba is not allowed to take delivery of Russian crude.
The warning comes at a time when two tankers carrying Russian oil and gas are thought to be on their way to Havana.
The fuel-starved Caribbean island is facing its biggest test since the collapse of the Soviet Union under a U.S. oil blockade.

Isn't that what our military usually does in the middle east? heh

Oh, good, we haven't had a ship-based Cuban crisis in a while. Surely the diplomacy will be well navigated.

Maybe we'll get another gulf oil spill while we're at it.

The American version of Christians that rallied behind him are hell bent on demonstrating all the villians from the Bible.

Dumb question here... Under what grounds a nation can determine what other two nations can/cannot do?

It's called Bigger Gun Diplomacy.

The "you and what army" protocol. I guess we'll see how that plays out

And why isn't it condemned at UN level?
Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 21 pts · 156d
The UN has been condemning the US embargo on cuba for nearly every session in the past couple decades and it's nearly always only the US and Israel voting against it. But the US has a veto so it never passes...
Here's the latest one

The UN is at its League of Nations stage. Doctors say it's terminal.
postmateDumbass@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 156d
Because the big gun also has a veto vote.

Somehow, I don't think Russia cares.

Leave it to the US to make Russia look like the good guy for selling oil to a starving island.

I assume they are prohibited in the same way my ex prohibited me from getting a new partner?
SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social · 3 pts · 156d
Well, did it work?
HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social · 4 pts · 156d
Well, I did have a 6 year relationship after that one. But that ended also. So yes and no? I don't know.
SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social · 3 pts · 156d
I'd go with no. Better luck next time 💖
HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social · 4 pts · 156d
Hehe. There wont be a next time though. :D
I'm not too keen on going through the whole dating thing. If someone arrives at my door and tells me we shall be dating now, I'll consider it. But other than that, I'm not gonna bother at this point lol
SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social · 3 pts · 156d
I see we follow the same dating strategy. It didn't really work out for me in the last five years, but I have the feeling that will change any minute now.
What slightly irritates me is that, yeah, for me it's a joke, but that's exactly how it worked out for a friend. She and some friends wanted to go to a party and a friend of the friends decided to join them and rang at her door. They are happily married now.
HuudaHarkiten@piefed.social · 2 pts · 156d
Haha. I've completely given up.
To be honest, it's quite freeing. I've always been quite independent, to the annoyance of all my girlfriends. But no need to worry about that anymore.
SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social · 2 pts · 156d
Some what the same for me, but I miss being loved and to love someone.

This is our hemisphere/continent. We're as touchy about it as Russia is about Europe and parts of Asia.

This rapist having a voice is bad for everyone, except a handful of (bad) people. He is gonna fuck everyone over, and then do it again. He is fucking over US citizens the most, but you are not important I guess..Collecting bribes and staying out of prison is. s Support the troops! /s

We can call it "The Bath of Pigs" after the person who started the crisis who also needs a bath.

I guess they'll have to board and kidnap those tankers then.
