    In this case, to keep China, Iran and Russia further away from us, they all have Listening Posts on the island, other than that it is a costly proposition.

      Cuba was a US territory after the Spanish-American War, along with Puerto Rico and the Philippines and some other places. We should have cut Puerto Rico loose and kept Cuba as a territory.

        Yes sir, at around 1900 or something like that, which makes my grandfather born in USA territory.

          Making Cuba a state would have made a lot more sense than making Hawaii a state.

            Oh no, from Hawaii we see everything in the Pacific Ocean, it's a great strategic point, it has always been. If it wasn't for the Russians, Chinese and Iranians in Cuba, I could care less about the island, but they are too close for comfoort

              December 7, 1941 would disagree.
