My friends from Iran are thrilled but cautious. They can't speak out because the regime is still in power for now.
My lefty friends say it's all evil and illegal because the constitution, which they ignored for everything else including Ukraine, says so. This is even more evidence that we need to kill Trump and make camps for his followers.
My righty friends are saying we're getting a dictator a month. Cuban friends are asking about their home country. They want to be part of the 51st state. The military guys are mentioning the languages on the weapons used in Iraq.
For the most part it's a game of who is your mascot. Very few go further from that.
The absolutely stupidest thing we could ever do is annex Cuba. Florida and Texas are already fucked because of “legal” Hispanic immigration, we don’t need another state to solidify a Hispanic majority America in 50 years.
Cuba and Mexico should be territories of the USA but not states.
That would make Mexicans citizens just like Puerto Ricans. Hard pass.
How the USA manages its territories is up to the USA. They don't have to become citizens of the USA.
That’s what a territory is under US law. Hypothetically you’re correct, it has never once happened in practice however.
