To whom is this base “controversial” other than evil regimes?

So the UN says we should give it up so the Chinese can occupy and fortify it?

No.

Ok, let the UN enforce its ruling, see what happens. This nonsense has got to stop. The UN should be anywhere except on US soil. Furthermore, it is not a “united” nations in any respect. Enough of this money-sapping charade.

Not a chance unless the demoncrats cheat their way back into the WH... Then we’ll give it back along with billions in reparations...

Screw the UN. Who enforces “UN Court” decisions? We have veto power so—-again—-screw them.

"Future of controversial US military base Diego Garcia hangs in the balance after UN rules the Indian Ocean archipelago was illegally seized in the 1960s by Britain and should give be given back to Mauritius..."

In other news, Freeper Free In Texas issued a worldwide declaration that henceforth all NATO/SEATO chocolate meringue pies would have chocolate sprinkles on the lightly browned meringue. U.N. headquarters is being closely monitored for what will surely be a tense reaction to this latest communique.

spent many a night on Dgar. Mostly drunk, because there wasn’t much else to do there.

Don’t get caught kicking the chickens. The Brits hated that.

If the UN says we have to give the USA back to the Indians do we have to comply?

"The UK's ongoing administration is a 'wrongful act', according to an advisory opinion given by the court, which is not binding."

Not even the 9th Circuit would try to enforce a non binding opinion.

Chagos was not an idyllic Polynesian atoll, settled in antiquity.

It was uninhabited, before several investors started coconut plantations and imported laborers to work them.

The inhabitants lived in housing provided by the plantation owners, ate food imported by the plantation owners, drank water collected by facilities built by the plantation owners.

And the plantations had been sold, the company stores closed. There was not and had not been a subsistence economy, and anyone who would have remained on the islands would have starved. Remember, these weren’t Polynesian with a culture and tradition of feeding themselves from the sea, they were Africans who’d been working the fields in the coconut plantations that no longer existed.

The islanders had no claim to real property. No title to land that they’d actually owned.

And as for Mauritius, there was no Mauritius at the time. Their claim is based in the idea that both Mauritius and Chagos had both one been part of the same colonial administrative territory. Which is exactly the same claim that Iraq had over Kuwait.

No. But there is plenty of room in the 57 muslim countries with the added benefit that most of the delegates would have a far shorter commute ...
