Comment on If the United States has Cuba banned from things, how does Guantanamo Bay exist?

The American government sends the Cuban government a check every year for the “rent”.
Unless something has changed, Cuba has never cashed a rent check, because they don’t want an American base.
It’s incredibly fucked up, but it’s the only A&W combination Taco Bell in Cuba

Previous Cuban governments cashed the rent check; the current government hasn’t.

Yes it’s true, the fascists did not mind taking American money. Surprising!

They accidentally deposited one cheque in the 50’s.
It’s not like its any money on a government scale. Hell, even on a personal level it’s cheap as fuck for an annual rent. My small duplex has a highers rent than what America pays in rent for gitmo; ~4000$
