    I think that’s an understandable position, given their situation. 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.

        I mean, they didn’t vote to uphold the embargo either, so maybe half puppet? Also, not saying I agree with their position, just that it’s understandable.

              Stop being obtuse. Why would Ukraine be even hostile to Cuba to the point of not opposing the murderous embargo? The only reason is to bootlick USA.

                Ukraine’s ability to defend itself from Putin’s “special military operation” directly depends on continued financial and military support from the US.

                It’s not bootlicking, it’s a rational decision to avoid making waves with US foreign policy that doesn’t involve Ukraine at all.

              You said:

              how many of those are currently suffering an invasion

              (by “those” i meant US vassals)

              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.

                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.

                Yeah, why would Ukraine not upset the US when continued support for their country’s defense is currently being debated in congress?

                It’s a real head scratcher.
