With a previous government whose actions have been repudiated by the current government. The Cuban government has repeatedly demanded that Guantanamo be handed back to them. At what point are they justified in shooting? And incidentally, the State of South Carolina DEEDED Ft. Sumter to the US government. So Guantanamo is merely leased while Sumter was legally OWNED by the US government. Or did a self-proclaimed country based on the protection of property rights find property rights incovenient in that case?
Until very recently, our official stance on Cuba was the revolutionary government was illegitimate. Our treat was with the existing government at the time, and it doesn’t matter that Castro had a coup. Now Barry recognizes Cuba’s revolutionary government, and I honestly don’t know what will happen to gitmo. International relations can get messy, can’t they...which is why he white hat/black hat version of the civil war is so lacking. BTW, good Ole Fidel cashed our first lease payment, after he seized power...validating that he approved of the contract.
