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.
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?
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.
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.

Silence after a source is my favorite thing about discussions
Hence wikipedia’s become a target. Can’t have reliable sources interrupting the flow of bullshit.

Should be noted it’s considered legally leased by the US government. Cuba has been telling the US to get out for decades now.
I love irony.
So confidently wrong.
For some legal purposes we treat it like soverign soil. But it isn’t actually soverign soil or we wouldn’t be leasing it.
