    The answer why Cuba never took gitmo is because the previous regime sold it to the US, and taking it would have meant all out war with the US. They're stuck unless america gives it back

      Doesn’t the US send monthly rent checks that have never been cashed by the Cuban government

      Cuba's the landlord, US government is the tenant. The rent is some ridiculously low amount set in the 1950s, and every year the US sends them a check, and every year Cuba refuses to cash it. I think it's a 99 year lease or something. Hey, Hong Kong's lease ran out eventually.

      Fair. Does the idiots ship food and shit from Florida or they buy it there? I wish they could poison their food/water.
