    Default Why didn't Castro and Russia get Americans to quit Guantanamo?

    Seems like a simple enough thing to do. It's pretty ridiculous, isn't it?

    The Soviets didn't want a war due to the whole "peaceful co-existence" thing and the Cubans were to weak compared to the US and to far away from the USSR for help in case of a war.

    Why didn't Usa get Russia to quit Lubyanka?

    I mean, does Eurasia still needs a place where people suffer from sleep deprivation for six days or are beaten by some random officer, only because they offended an orthodox priest or his highness Putin?

    (You know where was invented this torture of putting the prisoner naked and having random officers from the opposite sex to laugh at him?)

    You seem more than a bit confused. Perhaps read the OP?

    Man, you're a character.

    Well, ask a shitty question get a shitty answer: why should Russia or Cuba really care to pressure the US shut down Guantanamo?

    Good question. Why would Cuba care that a part of it's territory is occupied by America and hosts a military base.

    Hmmm, it's a real head scratcher.

    A better question, perhaps: how can they hope to get rid of it? How is the oldest US naval base still in operation in a country hostile to the US?
    The answer, and what I was getting at: no one other than the US government can shut down Guantanamo (short of a military intervention. Who wants to try that?) and no one wants to really pressure the US to do so.
