this mother fucker really going to look me dead in the eye and say that French Guiana is not a colony?
Also the Amazon, Northern Canada, de Jure Palestine, Kashmir, various islands across the world like New Caledonia, the Northern Territory (Australia) and a few more
Also northern Ireland
Ackshually it is an overseas department and not a colony.
Tankies destroyed by facts and logics.
French Guiana, Françafrique, the Dutch Antilles, Greenland, las Malvinas, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and a bunch more.
with you on the rest, but come on. it's a thousand shepherds on a barren rock no one else ever lived on.
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.
glances at Guam, nervously Haha, yeah.
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.
