In depth article on the secrecy and weirdness on that Island. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckdg7jjlx2go The British can do fuck all without US permission, and that suits both of them just fine. Yeah, Diego Garcia has an extremely sorted and complex history, but coupled with it borderline being the ideal staging ground for anything in the Indian Ocean (militarily or covert), not too surprising that the deal was contingent on us retaining it. And meanwhile, the only reason I really know anything about it was from a deep dive reading into it years ago after a throwaway line in Halo 2. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. <cite>K181 posted [p:982379371] in UK to cede...
