I know exactly what they are. Overseas territories, are just that, no

If you are going to suggest that Alaska and Hawaii are not part
of the US, you're suggesting something that nobody will agree with.

Now, if the US can be geographically split, why can't France or
Denmark? Without actually looking at a globe, I'd imagine that
Greenland is closer to continental Denmark than Hawaii is to
the continental US.
