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.
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.
You read it and still think Puerto Rico cannot have its own own government? Nevermind, you are determined to be right while throwing insults. Very unpleasant
For the third or fourth time, every state and commonwealth in the United States, has its own government in addition to the United States government. Puerto Rico is no different than that.
I’m sorry to hear about your mental health struggles. Best of luck with that.
Your hallucinations do not comport with reality:

Did you even read that? Because it states exactly what everyone else here has been telling you. That you’re wrong.
If you can look at a fact and see something different, you’re hallucinating or delusional.
