Pretty sure this will be the one, if Puerto Rico or Columbia becomes a state.

Unlikely. Only Puerto Rico and DC have any real chance to become states as of now. These other territories you mentioned are simply too irrelevant to the US government, and for a good reason: barely anyone lives there. US territories besides PR are so irrelevant in fact that you even forgot one, the US Virgin Islands.
*irrelevant meaning to the US government and on a world stage here, nobodies home is truly irrelevant because it will always be relevant to the people that live there

Doubt PR would become the 51st. Politics here are very divided on the issue. Our population is homogenously Latin / Hispanic. Full statehood would be a shock to the system. GO DC!

I meant more in comparison to the other populated territories. Even DC itself is somewhat unlikely. You are absolutely correct of course.

I mean this or something similar is probably what we are going to end up with but god is it boring
