    I don’t think it’s bad behavior any more than sanctions on bad world actors. Cuba knows how to approach the US, and the UN helps nothing.

      And in what world is Cuba a bad world actor? Also, please make sure to point out why the US is a good world actor.

                Cuba is an island in the Caribbean. I’ve been to most of them, and there is a common problem of not having an economic and industrial base. No matter how you cut it,they don’t have the resources to become viable countries, but they nonetheless try. All you have to do is to search the internet for the knowledge you’re lacking.

                  Six decades of the embargo has cost Cuba trillions of dollars Source

                  What could Cuba do with that money? Develop resources.

                  Also, that’s an older report. It’s been updated with this little gem-

                  The United States continued a failed policy of isolation towards Cuba, including a decades-long embargo on trade with Cuba.

                  Source Seems I found the knowledge I was lacking.

                    And? Is the US a country who cannot choose who they do business with? Do we now owe them damages? Can they not trade with our trade partners Mexico and Canada? Yes, they can.
