[ I also think Trump should stop funding the Un and instead announce that he is going to send Israel the $3 BILLION dollars instead so that Israel can build more settlements ]

Heck, we don’t need to send Israel anymore money, just send no money at all to the islamic savages that surround Israel, that alone will do more good than sending Israel any more money.

What if the City had issues maintaining the water/sewer service?

That would make the place just like home for many of the missions.

they will vote for them anyways- the point is to shove it in the faces of the left who stabbed Israel in the back- use the money and building to house the very people the left can’t stand- and sit back and watch the gnashing of teeth

Trump is Al the brash condo developer from Caddyshack.

Hillary was the unlikable judge from Caddyshack.

Election 2016. :)

Maybe an Indian tribe used to own the land.....

Give the UN a string of beads and hand it over to the Indian Tribes

Maybe there is some frackable oil underneath

So frack out the oil and build an oil refinery as well.

This has been mentioned when he entered the race Multiple times. the current group of pundits haven’t had an original thought in decades. If certainly does seem like often things appear here on fr way before it hits the main stream.

Hell we’ve used immanent domain to take homes from private citizens. Why should we hesitate to tell a bunch of foreigners to relocate. Certainly they can find a new address for the UN headquarters in a country they actually like. Certainly, their is a country with in the G-77 that will gladly provide some accommodations....

If it was up to Krauthammer and the other “never Trumpers,” Hillary Clinton would have won the election and Israel would have been all but dismantled. So forgive me if I do not now get all mushy over Krauthammer’s fury over what Obama did to Israel.

There should be some vacant, but slightly used, office buildings in Brussels they can rent in the next year or so.

Thanks for the link.

It appears the fastest way for the US to repossess the UN district is to get them to stop using it. The best way to do that is defunding.

If the US pulls it’s funding and participation, many other nations will follow our example, not out of solidarity, but because the UN functions largely (and perversely) as a mechanism for other nations to lobby the US diplomatically.

Without US participation the UN it is pointless, and with the US and many other wealthiest and most powerful nations pulling their contributions, it becomes economically infeasible.

According to the agreement, if the district is not being used by the UN in a manner stipulated in such agreement, possession automatically reverts to the US.

In my darker hours I’ve thought those terrorists hit the wrong building on 9/11, but condos would be a good, productive use. Beautiful view, wasted on wastrels at the moment.

I think that if you looked carefully, you might find at least 40 and possibly 50. They were all trashed but might possibly be in a file cabinet somewhere

At times such as this, I often recall that they've been blinded according to the Bible. No other explanation, for such an otherwise brilliant mind.

I've given up trying to understand what you believe. All I can do is suggest that you read the treaty between the U.S. and the UN concerning their headquarters: Link

I'm pretty sure we can abrogate a treaty. After all, we abrogated the principle of the Declaration of Independence which founded our own country, so how could a simple treaty possibly hold against our will?

...And Jeanne Kirkpatrick.

Lichenstein was like her deputy or something. The article described him as an "alternate" and as number two.

Yes, I remember Jeanne Kirkpatrick. She was quite decent in promoting Reagan's positions.

Actually somewhere in the Middle East would be better. That would allow the UN to have first hand knowledge of the problems they are supposed to be solving. Aleppo needs rebuilding, perhaps the UN could relocate there.

Put them in Bangladesh or Liberia. The local economies could certainly use the money they waste on pampering themselves.

Oh, and isn't it curious that the institution that was supposedly going to become the WORLD GOVERNMENT just happens to be located in the Empire State city of New York?

Now how do you suppose that happened? Boy, New York sure does have a lot of coincidences which increase it's prospects for wielding power, doesn't it?
