las Malvinas

In the case of the Falklands, for me it's less about democracy, and more that no single nation like the US or UK or France should be able to claim sovereignty over far-flung islands across the globe which then confer unearned navigational and resource rights.

Puerto Rico is a commonwealth, not a colony. Its right there in the name.

The US Virgin Islands are simply where we store our national reserve of virgins.

Nobody ask about Haiti.

Ackshually it is an overseas department and not a colony.

Tankies destroyed by facts and logics.
