Hoy, todos los que amamos este bello Jardín de América, y del mundo- nos duelen las entrañas y el corazón se nos aprieta de rabia y de dolor. Este es un pueblo noble y pacífico, que ama profundamente a su isla.
…you may actually want to read the first few paragraphs of the link you posted. Perhaps you could quickly copy/paste the section you think supports your assertion?
No ones calling it a state. You’re calling the island a country it is not a country not any more it is an American territory. Are they taxed without representation? Like Dc? Is dc a country?
Most certainly not a state, and has its own government. It’s a separate country.
Okay, you’ve shown that the first part of your statement is correct (that NO ONE has contested). Explain how PR is a separate country, as you have asserted. Or you can just say you were wrong. It’s okay.
Bruh I’m not gonna keep going with you. the link talks about Puerto Ricans voting for kamala. You’re talking about people that live on the the island voting. Not the same step up your critical thinking
All states and territories have their own local government. They still operate under the US federal government. Your stubborn ignorance doesn’t make Puerto Rico another country.
Puerto Ricans are United States citizens, they use United States dollar as a currency, they pay United States taxes, and they have a representative in Congress.
It’s not a state. It’s not a territory. To be so, it would need congressional approval. It is a separate country of US citizens. And not the only one. Sorry, if this reality doesn’t conform with your imagination
Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States and Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens; however, Puerto Rico is not a U.S. state, but a U.S. insular area
I’m not American or weighing in on this, but I don’t think country is a legal term nor mutually exclusive with being a territory. England is a country despite being governed by the UK. Greenland is the same.
A country is a distinct part of the world, such as a state, nation, or other political entity. When referring to a specific polity, the term “country” may refer to a sovereign state, states with limited recognition, constituent country, or a dependent territory.[1][2][3][4] Most sovereign states, but not all countries, are members of the United Nations.[5] There is no universal agreement on the number of “countries” in the world since several states have disputed sovereignty status, limited recognition and a number of non-sovereign entities are commonly considered countries.[6][5]
The definition and usage of the word “country” are flexible and have changed over time. The Economist wrote in 2010 that “any attempt to find a clear definition of a country soon runs into a thicket of exceptions and anomalies.”[7]
Again, I am not making a claim about whether PR is a country specifically, just that being a territory does not disqualify it.
As a sovereign nation, we can define our own legal terms.
I also find it somewhat amusing that someone from outside of this country with professed knowledge or expertise such as you do. It’s mostly losing because you’re wrong.
I did, yet it didn’t force me to start hallucinating that Puerto Rico is not part of the US. It’s almost as if I saw the facts rather than what I wished to to confirm my own biases.
Of course, that changes nothing. As many other others have also told you, Puerto Rico is a part of the United States and not a separate country. Several have even given you proof. In your delusion, either you cannot accept being wrong or you cannot accept a reality.
As I’ve already mentioned, every state and Commonwealth in the United States has its own government. They all, including the government of Puerto Rico, operate under the United States federal government.
There is literally nothing you can do to change that. Although psychologist are pretty good at dealing with delusional people. Perhaps you should speak to one of them.
Most certainly not a state, and has its own government. It’s a separate country.
Washington DC is not a state, and has it’s own government… Seperate Country?
Here’s a clue f9r you. What does the DC stand for in Washington DC?
The Supreme Court of the United States of America would disagree with you.
It’s not a territory unless Congress makes it so. When did that happen? Never.

Your stubborn ignorance does not make you right.
if I put my finger on the barrel, puerto rico isn’t a territory

It’s just proves what everyone here has been telling you. That you’re wrong.
I’m sorry for your mental health struggles. Best of luck to you with that.
Actually it proves I’m right. But, whatever makes you sleep a5 night
…you may actually want to read the first few paragraphs of the link you posted. Perhaps you could quickly copy/paste the section you think supports your assertion?
Once again, I’m sorry to hear about your mental health struggles. Best of luck with that.
With all due respect you don’t know what you’re talking about

Is Puerto Rico a state? Has the US made it 51?
No ones calling it a state. You’re calling the island a country it is not a country not any more it is an American territory. Are they taxed without representation? Like Dc? Is dc a country?
So, not a state, not a territory.
Does Puerto Rico have elections to form a government?
Okay, you’ve shown that the first part of your statement is correct (that NO ONE has contested). Explain how PR is a separate country, as you have asserted. Or you can just say you were wrong. It’s okay.
Answer the question first. Does Puerto Rico hold elections to form a government?
I’ve made no claim here. I’m happy to answer your question once you finish justifying your underlying claim.
The answer you refuse to express is YES
So, not a territory. Not a state.
What do you call an area of land with a government? If not Country, what?
Bruh I’m not gonna keep going with you. the link talks about Puerto Ricans voting for kamala. You’re talking about people that live on the the island voting. Not the same step up your critical thinking
No, actually it’s a hometown newspaper aiming at Puerto Ricans living in the US.

Your hallucinations do not comport with reality:

If we look at the wiki for Country
Again, I am not making a claim about whether PR is a country specifically, just that being a territory does not disqualify it.
As a sovereign nation, we can define our own legal terms.
I also find it somewhat amusing that someone from outside of this country with professed knowledge or expertise such as you do. It’s mostly losing because you’re wrong.
Did you read that?
I did, yet it didn’t force me to start hallucinating that Puerto Rico is not part of the US. It’s almost as if I saw the facts rather than what I wished to to confirm my own biases.
