1
00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:08,419
for the 30th year in a row
2
00:00:04,860 --> 00:00:13,039
the United Nations General Assembly
3
00:00:08,419 --> 00:00:16,618
voted concerning the United States
4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:19,698
embargo against Cuba
5
00:00:16,618 --> 00:00:22,920
by the way embargo is the old word
6
00:00:19,699 --> 00:00:26,939
nowadays we would call it sanctions
7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:29,460
regime or sanctions it's it's United
8
00:00:26,939 --> 00:00:33,000
States did to Cuba
9
00:00:29,460 --> 00:00:37,679
for the last half century what it is now
10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:42,239
doing to China and Russia and Iran and
11
00:00:37,679 --> 00:00:45,000
for the 30th year in a row they voted
12
00:00:42,238 --> 00:00:48,199
and typically the vote was just like
13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,200
this year's get ready
14
00:00:48,378 --> 00:00:55,859
185 to 2
15
00:00:51,679 --> 00:01:00,659
185 countries want the United States to
16
00:00:55,859 --> 00:01:04,260
end the Embargo against Cuba
17
00:01:00,659 --> 00:01:07,618
cool countries voted in in favor of the
18
00:01:04,260 --> 00:01:10,978
Embargo one which will come as no great
19
00:01:07,618 --> 00:01:14,579
surprise is the United States which is
20
00:01:10,978 --> 00:01:19,680
imposing the Embargo and the other one
21
00:01:14,579 --> 00:01:21,478
is Israel I won't make any comment none
22
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,979
is needed
23
00:01:21,478 --> 00:01:25,739
okay
24
00:01:22,978 --> 00:01:28,978
why do I bring this up because the vote
25
00:01:25,739 --> 00:01:31,259
is lopsided well it is every year
26
00:01:28,978 --> 00:01:33,799
because the rest of the world believes
27
00:01:31,259 --> 00:01:38,340
that this is an illegitimate
28
00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:41,159
inappropriate wrong policy yes I think
29
00:01:38,340 --> 00:01:43,740
Americans tend not to want to know if
30
00:01:41,159 --> 00:01:46,079
the rest of the world disapproves of
31
00:01:43,739 --> 00:01:47,819
something the United States does even
32
00:01:46,078 --> 00:01:50,459
though it's very important and probably
33
00:01:47,819 --> 00:01:52,978
more so than ever before that we become
34
00:01:50,459 --> 00:01:55,259
aware of what the world thinks about us
35
00:01:52,978 --> 00:01:58,319
because if it thinks that way about the
36
00:01:55,259 --> 00:02:01,019
Embargo against Cuba guess what you
37
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:03,059
should not be surprised at that a
38
00:02:01,019 --> 00:02:06,000
majority of the countries in the United
39
00:02:03,060 --> 00:02:09,000
Nations wouldn't support the sanctions
40
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,340
against Russia and China either
41
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,520
partly because those kinds of sanctions
42
00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:17,959
often lead to war and partly because
43
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:20,640
they are not a way to build a peaceful
44
00:02:17,959 --> 00:02:22,860
world but let's be clear
45
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,500
the United States justifies the
46
00:02:22,860 --> 00:02:29,340
sanctions against Russia on the grounds
47
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:31,199
that Russia invaded Ukraine
48
00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:34,259
okay but that doesn't really make much
49
00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:36,959
sense because Cuba didn't invade the
50
00:02:34,259 --> 00:02:40,079
United States or anybody else and it's
51
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:43,019
got sanctions in fact the sanctions
52
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,780
against Cuba began right after the
53
00:02:43,019 --> 00:02:47,159
United States invaded Cuba not the other
54
00:02:45,780 --> 00:02:50,400
way around
55
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:53,479
when that Bay of Pigs it was called the
56
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:57,599
Bay of Pigs invasion by American
57
00:02:53,479 --> 00:03:01,280
supported Cuban Exiles took place in
58
00:02:57,598 --> 00:03:04,199
1961 it was followed by this embargo
59
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:08,159
neither of them achieved their objective
60
00:03:04,199 --> 00:03:10,979
which was to weaken and overthrow the
61
00:03:08,159 --> 00:03:14,939
Castro government
62
00:03:10,979 --> 00:03:17,340
okay well if embargoes sanctions
63
00:03:14,939 --> 00:03:20,639
are done to weaken and overthrow a
64
00:03:17,340 --> 00:03:22,680
government in Cuba
65
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:25,259
um maybe in Iran
66
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:28,200
maybe what's going on in Ukraine has
67
00:03:25,259 --> 00:03:30,899
really got less to do about the Russians
68
00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:33,719
invading Ukraine and a lot more to do
69
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:36,780
about a program that hopes to weaken and
70
00:03:33,719 --> 00:03:39,479
overthrow Mr Putin and so forth in
71
00:03:36,780 --> 00:03:41,340
Russia than anything else and it would
72
00:03:39,479 --> 00:03:44,459
lead me and I hope thinking people
73
00:03:41,340 --> 00:03:48,000
everywhere to ask the honest question
74
00:03:44,459 --> 00:03:49,378
just as the U.N wants to prevent
75
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,539
War
76
00:03:49,378 --> 00:03:54,959
military war
77
00:03:51,539 --> 00:03:58,679
why wouldn't it include that now to in
78
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:00,299
have also economic Warfare be just as
79
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,840
outrageous
80
00:04:00,299 --> 00:04:07,140
most of the victims in military war are
81
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:10,560
civilians bystanders
82
00:04:07,139 --> 00:04:12,059
and you know in economic Warfare it's
83
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,000
even more that
84
00:04:12,060 --> 00:04:17,280
it's not the leadership of the country
85
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,560
it's not the government it's not the
86
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:23,339
people who make the policy it's the mass
87
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:26,160
of people who are victimized it maybe is
88
00:04:23,339 --> 00:04:30,918
time to be honest about these things
89
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:34,740
and to go with 185 who are against
90
00:04:30,918 --> 00:04:36,060
embargoes in Cuba probably against them
91
00:04:34,740 --> 00:04:39,540
everywhere else
92
00:04:36,060 --> 00:04:43,620
and take the Bold step of reducing the
93
00:04:39,540 --> 00:04:48,840
risk of War militarily by reducing the
94
00:04:43,620 --> 00:04:48,840
legitimacy of applying sanctions
