▶ Noam Chomsky (2014) "Ukraine, Crimea, and Guantanamo" - YouTube
"Russia's annexation of Crimea was an illegal act. One comparable
example comes to mind: U.S. control of Guantanamo Bay in southeastern
Cuba. Guantanamo was wrested from Cuba at gunpoint in 1903 and not
relinquished despite Cuba's demands ever since it attained independence
in 1959. To be sure, Russia has a far stronger case. Even apart from
strong internal support for the annexation, Crimea is historically
Russian; it has Russia's only warm-water port, the home of Russia's
fleet; and has enormous strategic significance. The United States has no
claim at all to Guantanamo, other than its monopoly of force."
