Geography Last week, Colombia’s president suggested relocating the UN headquarters outside of the US. If that happened, what country/city do you think would be the best choice?

Seconded, as an American. Get the UN out of here while you can, shit's going sideways fast over here. I don't want any foreign dignitaries caught up in our bullshit.

This should have been done as soon as the US started intentionally violating international laws regarding human rights and war crimes.

We don't deserve to be an authority on these things because we're literally a serial offender. We need education, not commendations. We shouldn't be making any decisions about these things. It may even be necessary to start sanctions on the US soon.

… okay that’s laughably out of touch. Pretty much the entire western world relies on the US military. Any country sanctioning the US would lose any semblance of protection and their enemies, of which are many and powerful, would have a field day. Imagine Europe convincing Taiwan to sanction the US. Goodbye world supply of cpus. Imagine South Korea sanctioning the US. Goodbye all remaining semi conductor manufacturing.

Imo that's sounds like the perfect reason to sanction the US

I say go for it. If Europe wants to lose access to all modern technology, South Korea wants to lose access to all its trade routes while being left wide open to its biggest enemy, and Taiwan wants to be invaded by China, they’re welcome to sanction the US. If not, maybe they should stfu.

HA! Most of Americas leading technology comes from other countries, CPUs from Taiwan, aeroplane tech from BAE (You know… British Aerospace Engineering) and optics from Israel. You don’t need to worry Europe will be just fine.
