It would be more like the Confederates retreating to Puerto Rico after losing the US Civil War, and still claiming that they're the true government of the USA. They'd also receive immense economic and military support from another global power, say Russia, in order to maintain somewhat hostile relations with the US mainland. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 2 years ago* Good analogy, but the US didn’t acquire Puerto Rico until 1898, so it would have been equivalent to them retreating to Cuba at that time.
