The UN "Small Arms" Conference entered its second day
with more country statements being delivered to the delegates
gathered in the General Assembly Chamber.

The highlight of today's meeting was the United States statement
delivered by U.S. Under Secretary of State Robert Joseph.
Joseph politely but forcefully gave the U.S. "red lines" - issues which
the U.S. strongly opposes and will not allow into any Conference report
or recommendations.

These included interference with Americans' Right To Bear Arms,
a UN ban on transfer of arms to freedom fighters and international regulation
of ammunition. The U.S. also said it was not ready to commit
to any future conferences on small arms.

I think, the USA should leave the UN immediately (nuke their buildings or so).

Other countries should invaded or nuked as well.

A few of the good ones (UK, perhaps Ireland) could become a US-state. A couple of others a Depend Area or sign a Compact of Free Association.

All the other 180 become a colony.

This would solve all problems and bring freedom, peave and democracy to the whole world under one leader and God.

God forbid the terrorists wouldn't have access to US guns.





How could the world survive without the US there to arm the terrorists and then protect us from those same terrorists they just armed?

John Bolton has explicitly stated his opinion that though it may appear, in the short run, to be advantageous for the US to join any treaty or international agreement/obligation, that short term view will be false. Nothing extremist to see here folks... move along now.

Thus, of course, it follows that no other state has any obligation, legal or moral, to follow the terms of any signed treaty with the US or to abide by any mandates laid down within international bodies such as the UN.

That's of course wrong: only the USA have the legal and moral right to act in such a way, not any other other country - correct, OmSigDAVID?
