Quite simple: They refuse to leave and Cuba can’t make them.
If the United States has Cuba banned from things, how does Guantanamo Bay exist?

That’s what happens when you just click through - you have legally agreed plus agree to binding arbitration for all future disagreements , in a venue of their choice.

From some perspectives, those are the same things.

gratest = biggest army?! That’s a very USA perspective, but a perspective nonetheless

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!

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.

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…

Because torture is the one thing the US will never ban. Just like slavery.

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?”
