I'm imagining a huge stack of checks in a storage room. When the time is right, the cuban president will deposit them all at once, overdrawing America's account and collapsing the economy.

Apparently they only give $4,085 per year for it, $340 a month for 45 square miles, locked in since 1974

Cuba one million percent doesn’t want them there, it’s just they can’t do anything about it. Taking it back militarily would definitely trigger war / an invasion. It was created when Cuba was conquered and colonized by the USA.
