You mean like Hawaii?
- that bloodless coup, as a couple hundred US Marines waited in the harbor - just in case the biznessmen ran into some difficulties re their plans for all that sugar / got locked up by the existing government for, say treason. cha cha cha
(Pity.. the Queen just could Not fathom that a country this large (and sanctimonious) could act like such a Bastard.. just Steal Theirs out from under them! - for $$$ alone.)
"Ours" ??? you. jest. or your knee just jerked (?)
Mine!
Not... - Mine!
Isn't!
Yeah Box - that's a real Reason, alright.

Well, if you want to traipse back in history a bit . . .
. . I'm pretty sure you'll be hard pressed to find ANY government that holds its territory legitimately - so why should we be different?

Uh-huh
Wikipedia entry: By war's end, the U.S. government had obtained control of all of Cuba from Spain. A perpetual lease for the area around Guant\ufffdnamo Bay was offered February 23, 1903, from Tom\ufffds Estrada Palma, an American citizen, [emphasis added for them as need a clue-by-four] who became the first President of Cuba. The Cuban-American Treaty gave, among other things, the Republic of Cuba ultimate sovereignty over Guant\ufffdnamo Bay while granting the United States "complete jurisdiction and control" of the area for coaling and naval stations.
A 1934 treaty reaffirming the lease granted Cuba and her trading partners free access through the bay, modified the lease payment from $2,000 in U.S. gold coins per year, to the 1934 equivalent value of $4,085 in U.S. dollars, and made the lease permanent unless both governments agreed to break it or the U.S. abandoned the base property. So, ah, agreements extracted under duress and agreed to by successive complaisant clients, are binding? Yeah, box. You got so many blind spots I'm astonished you can pee straight. cordially,
Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.
