LOL @ America Rents Guantanamo Bay for $4,000 per annum

[Don Rizzle]

The United States presence at Guantanamo Bay, where the United States rents the base for the amazing sum of $4,000 per annum, (the checks for which, I understand have never been cashed by the Cuban Government).
The presence of United States Forces at the Guantanimo base has been a bone of contention with the communists since the Revolution in 1959.

Cuban Defense = USA

"ARTICLE VII.
