    Still no, United States are STATES (plural), not a State (singular).

      The United States is a state. The united states that make it up are states, in a different sense of the word. The brain hurt is happening because you’re using two different definitions of the same thing really close together.

        No, are you? (Wtf, is this reddit or something?)

        “The US is a failed state” is just grammatically incorrect sentence.

          No it fucking isn’t, because the phrase “The United States” is a proper noun referring to a singular entity.
