The United Nations should be shoved into the East river during a blizzard and no one allowed to climb out. Then the building should be torn down and the land used for something more useful like a parking lot.

For being so anti-Semetic, the UN certainly displays much Chutzpah.

They were fine with “President Drone Strike.”

They made a lot of money with him.

It has never been the business of the almiighty sodomy pit called the U.N., as to how member states conduct their own affairs.

For example, all the years of all the crimes perpetrated in the boroughs of NYC, and no prosecution.

No. They also weren’t concerned about Iranian terrorism or Palestinian terrorism and were against Trumps taking out of Soleimani.

Again the UN, by its own constitution/charter only involves relationships between states and has NO power or authority inside a national sovereign rule.

Trump is deeply offensive to globalists. He is loved by real Americans.

With a parking lot only when NYC becomes the SF of the east.

I wonder how the self asserted greatest city on earth would cope with needing an app to avoid where people have crapped in the street?

The UN has no standing to tell anyone what’s right or wrong. It condones crimes against humanity and elevates the perpetrators.
