Any ‘diplomat’ involved in a criminal plot should be reclassified as an enemy combatant, and lose diplomatic immunity.

and their head.
I was thinking recently the UN building in NYC is almost 70 years of age. Time to build a new one, in Somalia.
In keeping with his “bull in the China shop” reputation, I would love to see President Trump tweet about this...just to make the Leftists go nuts, and remind the history-challenged among us aware of who the Communists were and are.
Wow... you mean to say that the FBI was actually PROTECTING Americans back then, instead of helping democrats subvert the Country like now????
Amazing... /s (as if it’s needed)
Wait!! Why does he look so much like Trudeau?? Or vice versa...
Well if we did that, our diplomats would be in constant danger the world over, and wouldn’t have to have done anything other than be American diplomats. So I humbly have to disagree with you on this issue. While it may sound good, it would have terrible re-percussive consequences.
I think their size is pretty much equal. Like father, like son.
Because ALL Leftist assh*les look alike. They ALL look the same to me.
BTW Macys, Gimbels, Bloomingdales, and Manhattans Grand Central Station - all military targets of course! /s (if needed)
Yeah, next thing you know a muzzi government somewhere would be grabbing hostages and holding them hostage for 444 days, or maybe they'd blow up one of our embassies and kill the ambassador and his staff.
For those atrocities that you did mention, that is when you go to Congress and ask for a declaration of war. We didn't, so blame the Presidents (Carter, Reagan, Clinton, Obama) at the time of the attacks. There is also the option of a retaliatory attack, but people (not me) seem to frown on that too.
The host country can do that whenever they want. But they have to get everyone out of the US Embassy, in the other country first. Otherwise we’re trading people for people.
I don’t think his original suggestion was as what you think it was.
In this day and age, no one can be Leonidas and kick the Diplomat Messenger into the abyss. We all know that.
I think it was more, wishful thinking, because damn near every US Embassy would be under siege within a week or less.
However, with technology being what it is. With air travel being what it is. With the State Dept being filled with Radical Leftists/Socialists/Progressives/Communists/Drunk/Drug Addicts/Sexual Tourists/American Hating American/Apologists for all things not Christian, it’s time to rethink the necessity for massive embassies all around the world. That’s not to say that they need to be eliminated, outright. But, I fail to see the reason for an embassy the size of a city block in the UK. As it is, it’s nothing more than a way to allow US government workers the chance to travel on the taxpayer dime. I saw all of this while I was protecting them in Baghdad. I’ve heard their Anti-American conversations. They absolutely loathed Bush and Rice. They absolutely adored soetero and clinton.
Trust me, I have no problem pulling back from having embassies around the world. I don’t think they help one iota in making the world safer. Having a powerful military and technological capabilities does far more to keep world bad guys in check.
Two Thumbs Up!!!
Googling this dude produces copious hits on a surgeon in Lexington, VA (of all places) and precious little on a Cuban terrorist. I was about to proclaim fake news, but, on the second page of search results was a link to one Roberto Santiesteban Casanova.
Googling Roberto Santiesteban Casanova is much more productive. E.g., here is a contemporaneous (nov-17-1962) story:
View the rest here. That's Roberto pictured at bottom.
They were clearly up to no good, but there is no mention of the 0.5 kt of TNT:
It seems this case blew over relatively quickly. From 19 November 1962:
Sabotage Suppliers Sent HomeNEW YORK (UPI) -A Cuban husband and wife diplomatic team accused of supplying a three-mem-ber sabotage ring with weapons will leave the United States this afternoon, it was announced today. A spokesman for the U. S. Mission to the United Nations said Jose Gomez Abad, 31, and his wife, Elsa, 20. members of the permanent Cuban mission to the United Nations, will leave aboard an Aeronaves de Mexico flight at 2 p.m. PST. One to Trial Government legal experts sa:d another Cuban. U. N. attache Roberto Santiesteban Casanova, 27, was the leader of the ring and would be brought to trial for espionage. Santiesteban was held in $250,000 bail. He and two others, Jose Garcia Orellana, 42. and Atononio Suerio Cabreara, 22. were arrested by the FBI Saturday on espionage and conspiracy charges. The government said they planned to plant bombs in Manhattan department stores during the busy Christmas season and touch off fires at oil refineries in northern New Jersey. Seek Release Cuban diplomats worked feverishly to gain Santiesteban's release. He arrived in the United States Oct. 3 under a diplomatic passport as an attache on the mission. At the time of his arrest, however, his diplomatic papers were still being processed by the State Department. U. S. legal experts said because of this Santiesteban could be brought to trial. The FBI raided Garcia's place of business, a costume jewelry store, and found a cache of guns and explosives.
