Cuba rejects US plan to deport immigrants to Guantanamo Bay
You're viewing a single thread.
The installation and its grounds are sovereign US soil. It doesn't matter what Cuba says or wants.
It is most certainly not sovereign US territority. We began leasing it from Cuba in 1903.
ETA: If it were US, the prisoners there would have rights. That's the whole point of putting a prison there.
Leasing doesn't mean that it's not sovereign territory. It just means you pay the country for being there.
I swear the opinion that Lemmy users have of their understanding of topics which are extremely obviously beyond their knowledge never ceases to amaze me.
The base, which is considered legally to be leased by the Cuban government to the United States, is on territory that is recognized by both governments to be sovereign Cuban territory.
congrats on having sovereignty over that guy's ass
Should be noted it's considered legally leased by the US government. Cuba has been telling the US to get out for decades now.
So confidently wrong.
lol so everyone else has shown how you clearly don’t understand sovereign territory, but it’s also pretty clear you have no clue what “leasing” means either. Do you think leasing somehow magically gives you ownership of something? Like if you lease a car from the dealership do you think you own that car?
For some legal purposes we treat it like soverign soil. But it isn't actually soverign soil or we wouldn't be leasing it.
I love irony.

This part, he is right though. About himself. Hahahaha! Oh the shame!
That commenter is definitely toxic but I think they are right here by definition.

It's clear that the US has absolute unlimited control within the area. Cuba cannot and/or will not contest the US within that area.
You realise the US would have to care for all the deported people in what would now be a refugee camp.
Technically as well they aren't event getting deported just relocated to a camp in US territory.
I suppose you could say they are concentrating the problem in one place.
It is not for deportees. That is the excuse to get it built, but as you pointed out, it makes no sense. It is for political opponents.
Yeah, it's awful, immoral, injustice, and downright dumb for a bunch of other reasons. I just don't really care what Cuba has to say about it.
Maybe so, but I'm glad they are saying it anyhow. Every person or nation that publicly resists is inspiration for another to do the same.

Might want to review that link. They don't want a concentration camp on their land.
