Russias 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 Cubas 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 Russias only warm-water port, the home of Russias fleet; and has enormous strategic significance. The United States has no claim at all to Guantanamo, other than its monopoly of force. ― Noam Chomsky
