Doubtful we'd be allowed to be a state. A Puerto Rico scenario would probably be best case, or more likely, Afghanistan.

Exactly .... we would be kept independent politically ... but dependent economically ... why would anyone want the expense of making us comfortable when they could just take all the wealth without the cost of governing a bunch of people.

They want the resources ... not the country.
