27. Problem with though is this -

Article IV

(snip)

Section 3.

New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.

I.e., Congress would need to pass a law "enabling" creation of the states and the President would need to sign that and that would come with Reps. & Senators.

However since the GOP hijacked Congress, if by some draconian reason they decide to invade and take over a country/territory, they would probably leave them as "territories" like D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. VI, etc., where they only get some cursory non-voting "Delegates" and no Senators.
