The US is trying to reject a part of their own territory as American.
Meanwhile, PRC is trying to claim territory not under the PLA's control as Chinese.
Ironic lol
Puerto Rico should just do a Taiwan tbh. I mean if they aren't treated like Americans, you might as well.
They receive a lot of benefits as a territory. And whether the Hispanic media portrays it or not, they are a very impoverished community. Them declaring independence is never gonna happen.
What's the point on those "benefits" is they are very impoverished.
Arguably we should remove the quotes so they get actual benefits. PR deserves better from us
You can see how thriving its neighbors are without receiving those "benefits".
Ikr? Cuba is thriving so much despite all the embargo on it and countries that do business with it. US never bullies or destabilize region and countries for their benefits, especially their neighbors.
If someone receives US "benefits", it must thrive at all cost, like Afghanistan.
