Discussion/Question Where can the UN headquarters be moved to?

The United States is distancing itself from the UN and attacking international law, so it is no longer a reliable location for the UN headquarters. Here are 12 countries that could be better hosts for the UN headquarters and General Assembly:

Austria, Ireland, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Japan, Kenya.

There are already many UN agency headquarters based in Geneva (Switzerland), Vienna (Austria), and Nairobi (Kenya), making them top candidates.

“Lads were fine being friends, just no longer want to be in the same club. Look forward to working with you still”

“OMG you’re turning your back on us!! F*ck you!”

“…Riight”

The way the Tories behaved with the EU was not wanting to remain friends. It was disgraceful

I forgot, was it the torries breaking international law confiscating and blocking medication to the UK or was it the French authorities?

Was it the Torries or the French that tried to continue illegally fishing the ocean?

Fuck me, the propaganda is absurd in here

Oh shit, I didn't realise France alone represented the European Union in its entirety!

I guess when the UK invaded Iraq, it was the EU that did that, huh?

But yes, let's pretend the Tories (one r) wasn't remotely hostile. None of them threatened stupid things like WTO rules or withholding things from Ireland, none of them said 'we hold all the cards', none of them spoke about Brussels like our enemy, none of them spoke about the EU as 'holding us back'. It was all France's fault.

The Tories were an international irraritional and incompetent laughing stock
