- dragonwriter 12y ago> Why doesn't Cuba do something about the situation at Guantanamo? Like, what? Start a war with the US? There's a pretty obvious reason not to start a war with a country who you are close enough to that there aren't many logistical barriers to them bringing their military force fully to bear on you, and whose annual military budget is on the order of 10 times your GDP. Cuba's jurisdiction over Guantanamo is a legal fiction that the prior administration tried to leverage (largely unsuccessfully, given the Rasul and Boumediene decisions), not something that has real substance.
