China at our doorstep?

Hate can make some people not think straight.

Remember Cuba? We didn’t want Russia at our doorstep either.

P.R. is not just about the island. It’s about the whole Caribbean, including Cuba and Haiti/Dominican Republic and many other island states in that area. The domino effect is real.

Besides, P.R. is probably in better economic shape now than a bunch of the continental states.

Better to keep the enemy far from us, than to have to fight them in our shores.

So give PR their independence or hand them back to Spain. Didn't the Puerto Ricans(FALN) launch a massive bombing campaign against America some years back, killing Americans, cause they wanted Independence?
Well let them have their independence now.
And by the way, Puerto Rico is not in better economic shape than any US state. Not even close. They are a big economic drain.
China and Russia are strong in Venezuela and other South American countries. Am I losing any sleep over that? Nope.
Cuban missile crisis?
Look this is not 1962. Russia has massive nuclear submarines armed with missiles right off our coasts as do we. They don't need a nuclear base in Cuba to hit hit us anymore.

Russia is always looking to regain its glory day during the Soviet Union. China won’t mind taking over much of S.A. or even the Caribbean islands. And, they won’t mind paying whatever it takes, as long as they can take it, and money is no object, even if hey go into debt forever. Nobody to answer to, if you know what I mean.
