Sure. But we're talking about an embargo. Everyone has the right to use embargoes, and they're a time-honored method of non-violent opposition. Framing this as the US transgressing some boundary is hyperbole at best.

Mr. Kise suggested that “the defense will have to give serious consideration to seeking a mistrial.”

The Room (2003)

Have you ever listened to someone complaining about how their ex mistreated them? The whining, the self-pity, the one-sidedness?

That's The Room. Written, directed, produced, and starring the guy that's complaining.

There's another, much better movie called Disaster Artist that explains how The Room ever got made in the first place.

Now the U.S. Supreme Court has spoken. Let there be no doubt, while I strongly disagree with the court's decision, I accept it. I accept the finality of this outcome, which will be ratified next Monday in the Electoral College. And tonight, for the sake of our unity as a people and the strength of our democracy, I offer my concession.

To the peaceful transfer of power, for one.

This probably gives Europeans too much credit.
