@@HoldMy1911 You don't seem to understand modern warfare of know ANYTHING about Puerto Rico. If Maduro attacked Puerto Rico, Venezuela would end up as a territory of Puerto Rico. The US didn't lose in Afghanistan. We spent our blood (very little) and treasure (ridiculous amounts of fraud) to give the Afghans the most peaceful two decade in their history. Trump decide it wasn't worth it and negotiated a peaceful withdraw and coalition government. Obama used Biden to hand them over to the Taliban extremist. Now the Taliban is fighting ISIS and Al-Qaida, while threatening Pakistan. In other words, they're right back to where they were before the USSR intervened. They are doing their best to win the all-time Darwin award for the whole human species.

I don't think I remember a incoming President taking over so far ahead of his Inauguration. That four years to think has been a blessing for Trump. He got to see the battle field, and retire to ruminate on what he needs to do.
He's had four years to develop a better healthcare than Obama Care , he's got squat coming into office in four years he'll give us squat like his last four.
It’s obvious why Puerto Rico wants stronger ties with the rest of the US. Despite being significantly poorer than every US state, which may make the relationship seem bad, it is still significantly richer than every Latin American country. If they can get full statehood and better US integration, it would probably help them improve further, as well as get representation.
@@United-States-of-Africathis is such a propaganda, they are American and have documents which people die in the thousands each year to get. lol you don’t know better.
I'm Puerto Rican, I agree with you 100%. But here on the island, people can't put those two together. They think independence automatically means well become some third world communist isolationist dictatorship and that we can't be allies with the US.
@jlm3744 It almost happened to us here on the mainland. We just voted the Democrats out completely. The people of their country have, to take responsibility for their own country.
@@rungfang27 Yes, but those referendums are openly rigged and used as political ploys by the extremely corrupt statehood party PNP just to get their more ignorant and gullible supporters out to vote for them in the gubernatorial election. Nobody takes them seriously. Statehood always wins them because most of everyone against statehood boycotts because they know it's all a total scam. We don't want statehood.
I can't imagine that it would be wise for ANY country to mess with the U.S. for the next four years...and we love Puerto Rico like a state (many of us do). Seems like a mistake for Venezuela to poke the bear.
Actually it is a Commonwealth in free association with these United States. That is higher than a mere territory. A territory's governor is appointed by the U.S. President; Puerto Rico elects theirs.
Puerto Rico, Guam and all our territories should all be given the option of statehood by this point. They have been territories for a long time and they are all already US citizens. Make them states already. I mean if we're gonna have to redo the flag for Greenland and Canada anyway... lol, that last part is a joke. I mean unless they actually want to join.
@@OhArchie You commented the exact same thing twice so I guess I'll ask twice. Why exactly do US citizens not deserve to live in a state? You don't like democracy? You don't think they are worthy? Its extremely crappy to subject them to our control and laws without them having a say. No taxation without representation. Ring a bell?
They have been a territory for over 100 years and they are all citizens. They deserve statehood. They are Americans. America first means ALL Americans.
@@Me__Myself__and__I Respectfully disagree. There are lots of long-established US territories that also don't deserve statehood. They are all citizens as well.
@@Me__Myself__and__Ithey don’t. They benefit far more off of their protected status under the U.S. they have barely anything and would have to become a part of Cuba instead.
Puerto is trippin, they want American privilege but no responsibility or contributions..... Ok BORICUAS....... take care of yourself then and good luck.
Boricuas have no control over their own governance due to having no voting rights bc the island is a commonwealth and not a state. Annexation comes with the contigencies of allowing all natural born Puerto Rican citizens to be completely disenfranchised from their rights by American "reforms" and land grabbing contracts. Ppl that don't understand the reasons for PR's vote against statehood, that they refuse bc they know this would mean giving in to the same contractual agreements that moved the First Nations of America onto reservations, allowing capitalists to exploit the island, shouldn't be allowed to opine.
that really sint that much for such a great plot of land. i think you are thinking too much about it. its an island we should buy, they are already coming here in droves, and if we can rebuild it we can use the money we already have to make exchange commissions for development. the land here can be saved from development, and we can send OUR boys to the islands to develop there and effectively solve that problem of too many developers on the state payrolls everywhere.
@ California is the economic and innovation engine of the U.S. and much of the world. It's the 5th largest economy, and it's U.S. federal tax contribution is more the than 22 states combined, The U.S without Ca. would drop from #1 to #2, behind China.

@ you pay taxes in Puerto Rico. We pay taxes for everything in the US for 50:stages plus all the illegal alien criminals and freeloaders. Big difference. Stay like you are. We don’t want you to be a state of the US. Ask another country.
The reason they don't pay taxes is because we refuse to make them a state. They've voted multiple times and have applied for statehood. Not a state > no federal funding >you don't have to pay federal taxes.
@@bmax43 i agree that welfare is an issue. but condemning the island is only forcing them HERE. if they were a state then they wouldnt need to come HERE!

If that happens US will give Venezuela another rear end😂
