Jesse Watters says America needs to bomb or “maybe gas” the United Nations - Pawb.Social

Lemmy

The UN is headquartered in New York. This guy therefore is directly calling for terrorist acts to be committed on US soil. That’s slammer-worthy.

Who’s doing the political violence again?

The UN is not on US soil, it’s been international territory for a very long while

“akshually.”

You do get it, right, buddy? It is located within the boundaries of the contiguous lower 48. Moreover, in its most populous city.

Quit being obtuse.

Yeah, but he’s right in that it’s not US soil, so if someone does bomb it, the American justice system can just ignore it and foreign powers don’t have any power over American citizens located within the boundaries of the US anyway
Nobody disputed that. It’s just exhausting. You think the US would respond neutrally if another entity bombed the UN Building? There’s a tiny park in Tampa that is technically Cuban soil. Do you think Cuba would file articles of war if the US bulldozed José Martí Park for apartments?
No, I think if an American domestic terrorist does it, there’s a nice little “didn’t happen in America” defense.
