"...U.N. armored vehicles ...produced in the U.S...."

Whoa, you jumped to conclusions in your post.

These vehicles are not necessarily "produced" in our country. Most unaware Americans would be shocked at the fact that our domestic vehicle manufacturers purchase parts and then assemble popular models and various military/law enforcement vehicles in foreign countries and import them to the U.S. to finish them off and sell them here.

For example: the 2015 Ford Fiesta was built in Mexico with 15% of the parts coming from the U.S. and Canada and 60% from Mexico.

Example: the 2015 Chevrolet Camarro is a "product" of Detroit-based GM and sports an image of "All-American" but it's built in Canada.

Example: the Jeep sounds as American as it comes, but the corporation is registered in the Netherlands and its corporate headquarters is in London.

I could go on and on, but further information on the so-called "American" car industry can easily be found utilizing your computer's search engines.

In short, I have a picture of the globalist U.N. creating significant auto manufacturing jobs to any extent in our country. NOT! All the U.N. creates is globalist propaganda and obfuscation. To his everlasting credit, GOP candidate Mr. Trump (and the ONLY candidate) has a good handle on this almost unknown part of international trade and the labyrinth of deals going on that are harmful to our economy.

To sum up....no one knows where these U.N. armored vehicles and parts were manufactured or assembled or finished off, or how many jobs they created....and you can bet our America-last administration or the globalist auto-industry fat cats will never tell us.

My vehicle (Mercury Mariner) was manufactured in Kansas City in 2006. It was and still is a good product, but many of the parts were sourced from overseas even then. At the time I tried to ‘buy American’, but it was rather an unobtainable goal. There was a sticker proudly placed on the windshield when it was new, “Manufactured in Kansas City”. “Assembled in Kansas City”, would be more accurate.

My Texas built Toyota tacoma is more American made than just about anything coming from the “big 3”. Hell, Hyundai’s and Kia’s and BMW’s can say the same.

How do they make a car with only three quarters of the parts they need?

***...the controversy brewing in the United States elections and the potential for civil unrest...***

It might be a mistake to assume that these are really 'UN' vehicles. Oddly, early pics in the Turkish Attaturk AP massacre showed one of these UN MRAP vehicles sitting right center amongst various emergency response vehicles with flashing lights. I saw it a number of times and I cannot help but wonder what a UN military vehicle was doing at the heart of this disasterous attack.

During the Clintooon Admin various UN and Russian vehicles were seen traveling on trucks and rail cars or sitting in US military compounds... nothing apparently came of it... ?????
