We didn’t give up Guantanamo Bay after Cuba went commie, did we? Cuba, for its part, would argue that it’s their rightful land and our retaining it is a matter of Might Makes Right. But they can go suck an egg.

But that is indeed a might makes right argument isn't it?

No. Like I said, nations hold it as a principle that they don’t need to sacrifice territory, wherever it may be, just because someone else lays claim to it. Guantanamo Bay doesn’t belong to Cuba because Cuba says so.
