I concur that the UN would be best served by having its HQ situated in a “neutral” nation like Switzerland. And, indeed, it has a substantial facility in Geneva.
Who was our deputy ambassador to the U.N. around 1981, who endorsed to their utter shock the Soviet ambassador’s sudden proposal to move the United Nations headquarters to Moscow?
Anatoly Dobrynin stuttered and stammered that, uh, well, the Soviet capital uh, just didn’t have the physical resources to host that huge of an international bureaucracy, and, well, New York will do just fine for now.
Anyway, I say move the U.N. to...... Tehran? Cairo? Islamabad?
Or some other Third World Islamic s***hole.
