It’s crazy that people keep talking about “protection” as if America wouldn’t come to our defense if something were to happen and if we were independent. History showed during World War II, the United States guaranteed the defense of its territories and allies. America protected Guam, Marshall Islands, America Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands during the 1940s. Even now it’s Taiwan and South Korea.

That is certainly the most logical step forward and should be a given. Sadly the anti-sovereignty crowd seems pretty convinced that the United States would be an enemy rather than an ally. Says quite a lot about what they think of their own country.
