American Thinker ^

Posted on 11/28/2024 7:25:30 AM PST by DIRTYSECRET

The federal government could purchase the UN property at fair market value and gift it to New York City for redevelopment into middle-income housing, retail spaces, schools, and parks.

We can all agree the UN has got to go. My issue is the 'gift' to NYC. ALL Americans paid for it and potential residences should be divided up in a national lottery. NYC can't even manage itself. I'd like to invest in a condo there. Location. Too good for spoiled leftists. Let one of Trump's kids oversee the conversion. I suggest Baron.

Agreed. Get the UN out of the US, period.

Let us do this the easy way.

Forget all the legal logistics.

Declare the UN a homeless shelter—and then grab the popcorn.

Did the UN really prevent WW3? Methinks each nation at the time was aware of what could happen after Hiroshima and got scared straight.

Geneva? Perhaps. How about Havana or Gaza?

The next Trump administration is going to have so much on it’s plate the issue may have to be put on the back burner but only after calling for it in his inaugural address. The UN will know what all the illegals here are feeling.

It’s perfectly convenient for the corrupt/criminal MIC, so it’s not leaving.

The United Nations was a war alliance. It should have ended when the war (WW2) ended.

And NATO should have ended in 1993.

Alliances in times of peace just lead to war. Everyone needs a reason to exist…and Everyone in a bureaucracy has no function except to qualify for, and then collect, a lucrative pension.

Absolutely freaking not! No way should that be gifted to NYC. Screw that! Auction it off to the highest bidder and return the $ to the Treasury.

--- "My issue is the 'gift' to NYC. ALL Americans paid for it and potential residences should be divided up in a national lottery."

Given the many socialists -- start with the UN chief -- at the UN, let's follow their game plan. Nationalize the property as "commons" for all, and make it a park by razing the building.

My choice for the new UN headquarters? How about Darfur?

Long past time. It is a weak and feckless organization that gives tyrannical nations the same power as free nations. A gigantic waste of money and resources upon the USA.

The UN will do something insanely stupid and catch the attention of team Trump at some point.

The leftists always overplay their hand.

I agree completely. I have, and have had for decades, the most utter contempt for the UN.

I had felt that for a long time before that, back to the early Seventies, but when we nearly had to pull a gun on UN forces in Somalia to help our cut off soldiers, that infuriated me.

Raze the building to the ground. Or better yet, allow it to be used as a holding center before sending illeagals back to their native country. Let them treat it as they see fit, and when done, we can take pictures before we demolish it.

The UN is a Leftist Wet Dream (which always fails) which was assisted in its birth largely by a communist spy in the US government, Alger Hiss.
