- holduptho 5y agoHang on a second: how is the US violating anything here? You’re roughly saying that the UK’s error transmits to the US because they lawfully leased land to the US that they consider theirs. Of course the US is going to lobby to keep the base, and of course it’s horrific that thousands were forcefully removed to build it (and the US should compensate for that), but any interpretation where the US is in international error here due to Mauritian sovereignty considerations is plainly transparent in its purpose (particularly in a comment that references China off the bat). That’s the UK’s problem. Notice the Mauritian prime minister in the very article you linked only discussed problems with the UK.
