If we stopped sending them checks, the lease would be null & void and Castro could take the territory back. Besides, $50K a year rent for a naval base is chicken feed.
Leaqve me out of this!
On the other hand, the Republic of Cuba, as Castro explains, is not his government. So it would be dishonest for him to cash the checks.
(I’m one of those who thinks that any treaty the USSR signed with the USA became void once the USSR ceased to exist.)
But I agree — we should continue to send the checks.
