I think your comment is extremely ignorant to obstacles intentionally crafted to prevent those kinds of things in reality. That political infighting does not exist by itself. Another part is that half of the island is by now dependent on a member of family being in the Navy, housing prices are unmanageable, they rely on food stamps etc etc. To which you are saying - why do they want independence then when they're not prepared for it - but this situation was created outside of their control, and they now don't have means to "prepare for it". Also, you might have skipped the part where their draft resolutions are getting just automatically ignored/denied by UN at every assembly.
