Cuba cant make them leave. There isn’t an ally who can back them up and go toe to toe with them like there was for a brief period between 1950s and the late 1980s…

The US took the area by force during the Spanish-American War, and then signed a “lease” with no end date with the Cuban government at the time.
I bet every time Cuba says they want to take it back, the US says “Yeah? You and what army?”
in summary the US is not the “greatest country in the world” it’s just the stronggest bully
Well yeah, it has inferior potassium.
And they’re the kind of bully where the rest of the world just disappointingly sighs and has to deal with because they know Russia is absolutely no better and China is meh.
The rest of the world sighs because american are crazy and have used nukes before and would do it again. Bully strategy. China and Russia are just more of the same.
The US military has a strong no first use policy with nuclear weapons that has been in place since the beginning of the cold war. They would absolutely not do it again unless someone else launched first
From some perspectives, those are the same things. Those perspectives suck, but they exist.
gratest = biggest army?! That’s a very USA perspective, but a perspective nonetheless
Its one of the greatest bullies… every big asshole does its own part in this shit
It is an acute example of the whole world’s problem with American military bases on foreign soil. They want them to leave but can’t make them.
Djibouti is very content to have the protection that a foreign military base offers. That’s why they let China build one too
Because when you have missiles, you get to make the rules, and they don’t have to be consistent.
