Imagine Puerto Rico wanted a more socialized government, independent of U.S. control. Based on the Latin American policies of the U.S., Puerto Rico would find significant resistance to any desire for sovereignty. If China started putting subs in the Caribbean to protect Puerto Rico from U.S. military action, you'd all be fine with that, right?
No, of course not. I didn't say I WANTED us to get involved; in fact, I'd be very happy if the US steered clear.
