“The fort belonged to the federal government. It didn’t matter where it was located.”
Of course, you have no problem at all then with the US maintaining control of Guantanamo; and you hold the view that Cuba would have no right at all to fire on Guantanamo, or try to interfere with its operation. The ONLY reason Cuba does not attack Guantanamo is because we would kick Cuba’s ass. South Carolina wasn’t so intimidated by Lincoln.
If Cuba did attack the U.S. base at Gitmo whose side would you take?
Perhaps they should have been.
That was a mistake, huh?
