Correct. Not even officially recognized as a country, it came out of the Nixon talks.

Yes, it's silly.

They can be both an ally and not officially recognized as a country due to complicated political and diplomatic reasons.

Not without sprinkling the word "unofficially" in front of various nouns, including the key noun "ally".

In the context of my comment, any group that receives significant military funding or support from the US counts as an Ally.

The dictionary definition is irrelevant to my point, because I wasn't using your definition of the word ally.

So my original point stands.
